From its inception, Rado’s Captain Cook line has been associated with strong character and uncompromising innovation in both design and materials. The latest in the series, the Captain Cook High-Tech Ceramic Limited Edition again breaks new ground with a full-ceramic rotating bezel sporting a black, laser-etched ceramic insert and bright, bold indices in stylish relief.
The watch maintains the signature box-shaped sapphire crystal with a slight tint that is characteristic of the Captain Cook collection. The hour and minute hands as well as the bold geometric indices are visible even in low-light conditions thanks to the Super-LumiNova treatment. In the background, one can get a glance into the self-winding R808 caliber. This state-of-the-art movement is equipped with an antimagnetic Nivachron spring and delivers a power reserve of 80 hours.
On the exterior, the high-tech ceramic case sports a diameter of 43mm, a water-resistance of 300 meters, and also exhibits a beautiful Côtes de Genève finishing. Rounding out the design is a matte black bracelet in high-tech ceramic, with a titanium triple-fold clasp equipped with ceramic push-buttons.
Limited to 1,962 pieces, the Rado Captain Cook High-Tech Ceramic Limited Edition retails for $4,500.

I would purchase this Rado Captain Cook if it were 38, or 39mm; it’s to large for my wrist size.
