Rado is a globally recognised Swiss watch brand that traces its roots to 1917. Rado is famous for its innovative design and visionary use of revolutionary materials to create some of the world’s most durable watches. Iconic style and substance are the cornerstones of the brand as Rado continues to assert its mastery of materials to create beautiful and eye-catching watches that will stand the test of time.
Rado is the first Official Timing Partner of the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB). The multi-year collaboration will see Rado become Official Timing Partner across all international fixtures for England men’s and women’s cricket. Cricket is an exciting team game in which timing is vital – the spirit of Rado’s timekeeping accuracy is key for both the players on the pitch and for the officials making the decisions. In this partnership, both driven by a strong team spirit, the pursuit of excellence and the desire to grow the sport.
In celebration of the partnership, the innovative Swiss watch brand has created the Rado Captain Cook High-Tech Ceramic x England Cricket. Rado is excited to share the ECB’s goal of “Inspiring Generations” and to introduce a timepiece – in an edition limited to 150 pieces – that is a testimony to one of the world’s greatest games.
The timepiece starts with the 43 mm monobloc case crafted from matt navy blue high-tech ceramic, the brand’s signature material. The polished navy blue high-tech ceramic rotating bezel offers a bold contrast with its white high-tech ceramic insert with engraved white silver metallisation markers and a triangle at 12 o’clock. The watch features a circular brushed navy blue coloured PVD-coated titanium case back fitted with a sapphire crystal. A special engraving on the case back includes the words “LIMITED EDITION, No. XXX/150”, a confirmation of the series size. On the sapphire crystal case back are the specially metallised words, “Official Timing Partner”, along with the ECB logo. The watch has a matt navy blue high-tech ceramic screw-down crown.
