The most striking feature is the deep black square “frame” around the inner dial. It creates a dramatic floating dial effect, as if the silver dial is suspended inside a shadow-box. TV-dial is a very iconic of late-60s/70s futuristic design. Ultra-Minimalist hands and indexes for a clean, modern look.
Bold rectangular case with glass frontage and mirror-polished facets. Case finishing has been updated in our workshop. Integrated brushed bracelet with geometric links, architectural vibe – it feels like a piece of vintage sci-fi industrial design, sharp, clean and masculine.

About RADO
Vintage RADO watch collecting has become a niche passion for enthusiasts who appreciate bold design, experimental materials, and that unmistakable mid-century futuristic flair. Unlike many Swiss brands that leaned on tradition, RADO spent the 60s-80s pushing boundaries with unusual case shapes, high-contrast dials, and innovative technologies like scratch-resistant ceramics and hardened metals. Collectors value these watches for their sculptural aesthetics, reliable Swiss movements, and the way even modest models feel like wearable industrial art.
