Our Take
Rado is a unique brand in the way that they use their innovation in design and materials to come up with some of the worlds most unique watches. This 1970s piece is a classic, it’s midsize and originally designed for men but could suit a lady too who like a bigger watch, it measures 30mm in diameter and 38mm from lug to lug. The gold plated case has a square shape typical of the time and is sturdy and solid, unfortunately, there is some plate wear evident. The steel back pops in and is in good condition, it bears the logo, model number #448.7901.2. The black plain dial has been refurbished and has gold stick markers all the way around. It has elegant sweep seconds and a date/day window at the 3 o’clock position, all under an acrylic crystal in good condition. The crown is unsigned and may have been changed at some point. The watch is powered by a manual wind 2769 movement with 17 jewels and keeps good time. The strap has been replaced with a black leather bracelet and will fit a wrist of about 7.5” or 19cm approximately. The watch comes without the original box but will be accompanied by a gift box. Water-resistance is not guaranteed so please do not use it near water.
