Captain Cook High-Tech Ceramic Automatic Chronograph R32190153 43.0 mm, Automatic, 167.8 g
Precision forged through extreme engineering—the Captain Cook High-Tech Ceramic Chronograph is the result of uncompromising processes and material innovation. Born from pressure, heat, and technical mastery, its construction pushes the boundaries of what’s possible in modern watchmaking. The 43 mm monobloc case, crafted in matt black high-tech ceramic, is paired with a rose gold-coloured PVD-coated stainless steel turning bezel and a polished black ceramic insert, engraved with white Super-LumiNova® markers. Topped with a box-shaped sapphire crystal, forged at temperatures over 2,000°C and coated with anti-reflective layers on both sides, the crystal offers exceptional clarity and scratch resistance, only surpassed by diamond in hardness. At its core beats the Calibre R801, a self-winding chronograph movement developed for uncompromising reliability. Engineered with 37 jewels and regulated in five positions, it ensures precise timekeeping under the most demanding conditions. The movement is equipped with an antimagnetic Nivachron™ hairspring. With a robust 59-hour power reserve, the R801 exemplifies technical mastery and mechanical resilience, embodying the spirit of Swiss engineering and Rado’s continued pursuit of horological excellence. The black dial reflects a pure expression of function and form. Polished rose gold-coloured indexes and hands are coated with white Super-LumiNova®, while three precisely arranged counters display 12-hour, 30-minute, and small seconds functions. A date guichet at 6 o’clock and the iconic rotating anchor on a ruby backplate complete the dial’s mechanical signature. The design is completed by a matt and polished black high-tech ceramic bracelet, secured by a titanium 3-fold clasp for a seamless fit. Water-resistant to 30 bar (300 m), the Captain Cook High-Tech Ceramic Chronograph redefines adventure—uniting Swiss precision with contemporary elegance.

Rado Captain Cook High-Tech Ceramic Chronograph
In outdoor pursuits, at-a-glance accuracy is essential, and that comes easy with substantial hour and minute hands that point to equally purposeful indexes – all of which are finished with white Super LumiNova®. The second, minute and hour chronograph hands all sport a painted red tip for easy identification. Overall, the dial feels supremely well balanced, with its three subdials lending an unmistakeable sense of energy – a chrono hour counter is a new addition to Captain Cook chronographs. Rado’s moving anchor symbol is at 12 o’clock, rotating on a synthetic ruby backplate, and there’s a trapezoidal date window at 6 o’clock shaped to match the indexes. Around the edge runs a subtle minute track, surrounded by a turning bezel with deliberately spartan engraved markings. Collectively, it’s all a brilliant demonstration of ‘less is more’ – which helps explain why the piece never feels too energetic. This approach also applies to the Rado calibre R801 automatic movement, featuring a 59-hour power reserve, whose svelte dimensions mean the height of the case, including the crystal, measures just 16.2mm – making it easy to accessorise an outfit.
