Rado Tradition Golden Horse Automatic Collection

A contemporary evolution of vintage design

The Golden Horse collection from 1957 was a breakthrough for Rado. It was the first collection presented under the brand’s name and a demonstration of early leadership in creating watches as fashion items and personal style statements.
 
To complement the ‘new vintage’ Golden Horse 37 mm models, Rado also presents
‘new contemporary’ Golden Horse Automatic models. These are based on the original design but with exaggerated elements. The case is bigger, the bezel is bolder, the crown more distinctive. This makes the vintage inspired shapes stand out for a unique look and feel that are still clearly Rado.
 
Stainless steel cases with complementary elements in rose gold coloured CeramosTM or the warm metallic shine of plasma high-tech ceramic offer a two-tone look that is both a vintage design element and a Rado hallmark. A pair of seahorses – the enduring symbol of all the Rado Horse collections - appears on each dial.
 
The 42 mm range includes models with dark grey, blue, green and silver dials and each has a choice of interchangeable leather strap, 3 links or rice grain style stainless steel bracelet. Contemporary watchmaking technology allows for each bracelet to be easily exchanged without the need for tools. These larger models are powered by the Swiss made ETA C07 automatic movement with extended power reserve of up to 80 hours.

Modern design features and a vintage base allow the Golden Horse Automatic models to unite Rado’s illustrious past and glorious present. Vintage design is carefully balanced with bold new elements using the brand’s latest pioneering materials innovations. Injectable rose gold coloured Ceramos is Rado’s unique wonder material, made using approximately 90% high-tech ceramic and 10% metal alloy for a luxurious shine and superior scratch resistance. Plasma high-tech ceramic was pioneered by the brand back in 1998 and is still unrivalled when it comes to colour, lightness, long-lasting shine and durability.
 
With the eye-catching new Golden Horse Automatic collection, evolution beats revolution for a strong design statement and a truly versatile contemporary timepiece.
