Editor’s note: Over the last few years, Rado — traditionally the masters of design-y ceramic timepieces — have stepped their heritage game WAY up. Their Captain Cook line, in particular, is a real gem, and a solid value prop. Here’s our take on Rado’s best heritage watches.?Rado isn't a brand that you typically think of when you think about heritage'. On the one hand this makes perfect sense, as the brand is best known for their decidedly modern materials and avant-garde designs. But on the other, Rado has been around for a while (since 1917), and has a host of great old styles to draw on. And, in recent years, Rado has been more active in doing just that, and we've picked our favourites. Naturally, the Captain Cook looms large, in both its faithful near facsimile grade models, as well as the larger, more modern interpretations. And then there's the super chunky, super funky HyperChrome 1616, a really cool take on a cushion case. If these watches prove anything it's that Rado has what it takes to make a heritage release that holds up with the best of them, and we can't wait to see what 2019 brings.
