RADO Captain Cook X Tennis Limited Edition Automatic Men's Watch R32222108

Marking four decades of Rado’s enduring connection to tennis, the Captain Cook x Tennis Limited Edition celebrates the brand’s inaugural sponsorship at the 1985 Swiss Open in Gstaad. Limited to 1,985 pieces, this timepiece unites Swiss craftsmanship with sporting heritage, marrying performance and style in a watch designed for champions. Encased in a 39 mm polished stainless steel case, the watch features a polished stainless steel bezel with a brushed plasma ceramic insert, intricately engraved with numerals, markers, and a Super-LumiNova®-filled triangle. The box-shaped sapphire crystal, crystallized at over 2,000°C and treated with anti-reflective coating on both sides, provides exceptional clarity and scratch resistance, while the 30-bar (300 m) water resistance underscores its robust, high-performance design. At its heart, the self-winding Calibre R763 drives precision and reliability, engineered with 25 jewels, an antimagnetic Nivachron™ hairspring, and regulated in five positions. With an 80-hour power reserve, it delivers mechanical excellence and endurance that mirrors the resilience of elite athletes. The ruthenium-to-white gradient dial conveys refined elegance, complemented by rhodium-coloured hands and indexes coated in white Super-LumiNova® for optimal visibility in any light. Thoughtful details nod to tennis scoring: a ruthenium-coloured flange with yellow Super-LumiNova® dots at 3, 6, 8, and 12 o’clock marks 15, 30, 40, and game points. The second hand glows in dark yellow Super-LumiNova®, and the iconic rotating anchor on a ruby backplate and date display at 3 o’clock highlight the meticulous attention to detail. Finishing the design, a polished and brushed stainless steel rice-grain bracelet with a three-fold clasp ensures a seamless fit, while three additional NATO-style textile straps in blue, green, and orange offer versatile, tool-free style swaps via the EasyClip system. The Captain Cook x Tennis Limited Edition is more than a watch—it’s a tribute to precision, endurance, and the spirit of Swiss horology, honoring Rado’s legacy on the court and beyond
