Rado is not the first brand that first comes to mind when we think of vintage dive watches. Aside from the fact that their modern designs are typically sleek, thin, and feature high-tech ceramic (hyperchrome) case materials, most of us are all too caught up in vintage Rolex, Tudor and Seiko divers to consider a host of other brands who have also produced some great watches over the years.
Rado’s original dive watch release of the Captain Cook in 1962, was never a home run with only around 8,000 pieces being produced. For some however it hit all the right notes. It was a dive watch with some unique design elements that separated itself from the massive influx of dive inspired watches at the time.
Fast forward to 2019, and Rado have made an edition of the original watch that feels entirely modern, yet once again is unique in design and separates itself from what seems like a never ending production line of homages to a specific dive watch design.
So just how good is Rado's modern interpretation of a dive watch?
