Rado 2025: The Icon Returns and New Legends Are Born
Rado. A brand synonymous with innovation and top-quality materials, shows us its incredible novelties for 2025. On this occasion, the Swiss firm shares with us the return of an iconic classic in a limited edition, an artistic collaboration that redefines a legendary model, and a bold evolution of one of its most modern lines. Come with us to discover the details of these new creations that watchmaking enthusiasts will love.
Rado Captain Cook Over-Pole: A Classic Reborn in a Limited Edition for 2025
The Rado Captain Cook undoubtedly holds a special place in the hearts of watch lovers, evoking a spirit of adventure and exploration. This exclusive model, for 2025, makes a triumphant return with a limited edition of 1962 units, a reference to its original launch year.
This new iteration of the Captain Cook Over-Pole retains the essence that made it famous, but with subtle improvements that modernize it without losing its vintage charm. With a remarkably slim profile of 10.9 mm, it glides elegantly on the wrist. Turning the watch over, the sapphire case back reveals a beautifully finished movement with Côtes-de-Genève, blued screws by annealing, and gold-colored markings, adding a touch of mechanical sophistication. Each unit is individually numbered, engraved on this sapphire crystal.
Versatility is one of its great strengths, as it is presented with two equally attractive strap options: an elegant polished and brushed yellow gold PVD-coated stainless steel "rice grain" bracelet with a triple folding clasp, ideal for a more sophisticated look; and a robust and sporty vintage-style brown leather strap with a polished yellow gold pin buckle, ideal for a more casual and adventurous style.
To protect this jewel and its spare strap, Rado includes a practical leather pouch, along with an official limited edition certificate, which underscores its exclusivity and collectible value. The Rado Captain Cook Over-Pole 2025 is, without a doubt, a piece of history reinvented for the present.
Rado DiaStar Original x Tej Chauhan: When Iconic Design Meets Contemporary Vision
The Rado DiaStar Original is a piece that marked a before and after in the watchmaking industry since its launch over 60 years ago. Its bold design and robust construction made it a favorite of the time. Now, Rado has taken a fascinating step by inviting the award-winning industrial designer Tej Chauhan to reinterpret this icon.
This collaboration between Rado and Tej Chauhan is a testament to the brand's innovative spirit. The challenge was significant: maintaining the unmistakable essence of the DiaStar Original while infusing it with Chauhan's unique and contemporary vision. The result, as Rado aptly describes it, is truly astonishing.
Tej Chauhan has managed to put his own characteristic stamp on the DiaStar Original, respecting its tenacity, while also offering a new aesthetic perspective. This collaboration demonstrates Rado's ability to combine its legacy with the creativity of external talents, resulting in pieces that are both familiar and surprisingly new. The DiaStar Original x Tej Chauhan is a celebration of timeless design and constant innovation.
Rado True Square Skeleton: A Trio of Modern Elegance and Mysterious Power
The Rado True Square family, renowned for its square shape and high-tech ceramic composition, welcomes an exciting new generation with the introduction of the True Square Skeleton in three captivating variations.
Discreet Sophistication: The Rado True Square Skeleton in Matte Plasma Ceramic
For the first time in the True Square line, Rado presents a model with a matte plasma finish on its high-tech ceramic case, crown, and bracelet. This unique finish lends it an aura of understated sophistication with its gunmetal gray vibes, conveying a sense of confident and conscious simplicity. The minimalist design is complemented by the details of the skeleton movement, which features a horizontal brushed decoration and an anthracite coating, along with a sandblasted finish on the hands, dial background, and case back. A subtle yet robust detail is the incorporation of bolder and more assertive hands in this new generation.
The Captivating Darkness: The Rado True Square Skeleton in Matte Black Ceramic
Accompanying the plasma model, we find an equally impactful variant in matte black high-tech ceramic, present on the case, crown, and bracelet. This watch instills a sense of raw and melancholic power, evoking the mysterious darkness of "Gotham City." It shares the anthracite details and sandblasted finish with its plasma sibling, creating a monochromatic aesthetic of visual delight.
Sporty Elegance: The Rado True Square Skeleton with Black Rubber Strap
The third addition to the True Square Skeleton line also features a matte black high-tech ceramic case, but it is distinguished by its black rubber strap, which gives it an undeniable athletic touch. Upon closer inspection, more refined aesthetic details can be appreciated, such as a horizontal Côtes de Genève finish on the movement and polished hands instead of sandblasted ones. Despite these touches of elegance, this model still maintains a bold and confident presence, worthy of a "superhero."
Together, the new Rado True Square Skeleton collection brings a modern and bold vision of watchmaking, combining Rado's innovative ceramic with the fascinating mechanics of a skeleton movement.
Rado's novelties for 2025 demonstrate once again the brand's ability to honor its legacy while embracing innovation and creativity. Whether it's with the nostalgic charm of the limited edition Captain Cook Over-Pole, the bold collaboration with Tej Chauhan on the DiaStar Original, or the modern sophistication of the True Square Skeleton collection, Rado continues to set the standard in the world of watchmaking with pieces that are both a style statement and a display of technical excellence.
