A wonderful juxtaposition of the oldest man-made material with the most modern of materials.

Rado has built a reputation as a master of materials by&nbsp;revolutionising traditional watchmaking with the use of hightech&nbsp;ceramic, ultra-light high-tech ceramic, colourful hightech&nbsp;ceramic and Ceramos in its design-centric collections.&nbsp;

So, it caught the industry by surprise in 2017 with the redux of&nbsp;Captain Cook&mdash;a 1960s vintage dive watch that pays tribute&nbsp;to the 18th-century explorer Captain James Cook&mdash;which&nbsp;received much acclaim, despite veering from Rado&rsquo;s high-tech,&nbsp;scratch-resistant trajectory. In 2018, Rado launched its first&nbsp;watch using bronze, an age-old alloy that transforms over time&nbsp;to give a unique patina depending on the wearer&rsquo;s habits and&nbsp;environments.

In 2020, the Swiss watchmaker, once again, reconnects past&nbsp;with future by riffing on the Rado Captain Cook collection&nbsp;in starkly contrasting bronze and high-tech ceramic&mdash;a&nbsp;wonderful juxtaposition of the oldest man-made material with&nbsp;the most modern of materials.

The latest iteration replicates&nbsp;the colours from nature to give the sturdy-looking model a&nbsp;wash of lush green and earthy bronze tones. Deftly combining&nbsp;a bronze case and bezel, and a box-shaped sapphire crystal&nbsp;with high-tech ceramic insert and a titanium case back with&nbsp;sapphire crystal, replete with a dark green leather strap, the&nbsp;watch will prove irresistible for those with a strong predilection&nbsp;for modern-vintage dive watches.

A high-quality&nbsp;Swiss-made&nbsp;ETA C07 movement, offering up to 80 hours of precision power,&nbsp;rounds things up for the Captain Cook watch&mdash;a triumphant&nbsp;showcase of elements that champion the ancient and modern,&nbsp;vintage and contemporary, traditional and innovative, enduring&nbsp;and evolving.
