Rado Captain Cook R32105103
Friends, I welcome you all. This is Stanislav, FeelTime online store, and today we will be looking at the legendary Swiss watch Rado Captain Cook R32105103.
Equipment
The branded box is white, but it is not the most important thing here, since it feels like ordinary cardboard to the touch. But what really pleased me was such a portable travel case rado. And now it looks expensive and solid. Plus it's compact and really handy.
Also in the bottom slot we will find just such a mini-daddy with documentation. There is a Rado branded cleaning cloth, plus a card that states the reference of this model and that it is a limited edition of 999 pieces. The only strange thing is that Rado does not identify this model in any way. That is, I do not see her serial number, although it seems to me that the brand would be beneficial in terms of the uniqueness of each model. And with this trick, you can release more watches. Who will count them if there are no numbers? Therefore, it is very strange.
Design features. Case quality
And now to the most important thing. By the clock. Of course, this is a very recognizable model. When you see them even from a distance, it is immediately clear that this is Rado Captain Cook. Therefore, from the point of view of design, watches immediately evoke only the most pleasant emotions.
The first thing that caught my eye was the shape of the dial. It is convex and has a very beautiful, matte, gray color. Plus, the high cost adds fisheye glass, which also creates cool distortion and extra volume.
From the point of view of the study of the dial and the quality of its execution, everything here is at a very high level.
The hands are worked out perfectly, and the hour looks very brutal, and the minute and second are more elegant, which creates a certain contrast.
And of course, the Rado logo with a patched anchor and the date on a silver base with red markings attract attention. It's unusual.
The case of the model, as well as the bracelet, is made of stainless steel. Finishing - satin finish. The quality of the finish is very good, but to be honest, I have seen similar quality on watches much cheaper than these.
Very comfortable and rather massive crown with anchor engraving.
And a 120-click ceramic bezel. The tone of the bezel is lighter than the dial, which creates a nice contrast and clear distinction.
The bezel movement itself is very confident without any backlash and with expensive clicks.
On the back of the watch, you can see quite a nice and deep engraving of seahorses and stars. Plus, here again there is this inscription: "One of 999 models." Unfortunately there is no clear number.
Watch sizes
Watch dimensions: 42 mm on the bezel, from ear to ear - 49 mm, thickness - 12.8 mm, bracelet width - 18 mm, weight - 141 grams.
The watch on my hand, 18 cm in circumference, sits very cool, but be sure to pay attention that the ears here are long and, according to my feelings, the minimum wrist here should be from 17 cm.
Bracelet
The watch bracelet is made in the style of the so-called rice grains along its center part. The outer links are satin-finished, and the grains themselves are mirror polished, which gives the bracelet extra volume. The geometry of the bracelet is good, in terms of finishing I will say the same thing that I said about the case. The finish is good, but I have seen better quality for a significantly lower price.
Very unusual and neat clasp with engraving of the Rado brand and with an anchor. The clasp is completely molded and has a lot of horizontal lines on the outside, which looks unusual. At least this texture will hide scratches when using the watch.
Watch Specifications
Now let's go to the characteristics. As often happens, many Swiss are not in a hurry to indicate the caliber of their watches. After all, it is logical that if the mechanism is cool, then the manufacturer will stick it out. Here it is not. Anyway.
The watch is equipped with a Swiss automatic movement ETA C07.611. This is a completely reliable and high-quality mechanism with a decent power reserve of 80 hours, on 25 jewels and with a frequency of 21,600 vibrations per hour.
In addition, the watch has professional water resistance of 300 meters. The head is screwed down for better tightness. Sapphire crystal with anti-reflective coating and luminescent hands and markers.
Results
The price of our handsome man today is 95630 UAH. Expensive or cheap - please decide for yourself.
I can only say that the watch left a pleasant impression. Yes, the quality of the finish is not perfect here. For this price it could be better. But here is a chic dial, excellent performance and a generally recognizable design, which in general is the main component of this model.
And I am sure that those who like this design, and the wallet allows, will not be fooled by shortcomings and will be satisfied with this watch.
Don't forget to read the detailed watch reviews in our blog, but Stanislav was with you as always. See you soon! Bye.
