Rado celebrates forty years of collaboration with tennis with a special version of the Captain Cook – a 39-mm diver's watch inspired by modern details - the Rado Captain Cook x Tennis Limited Edition, four different straps and a limited edition of 1,985 pieces.

When sport and time strike the same time – this is Rado's new Rado Captain Cook x Tennis Limited Edition, with which the Swiss timekeeper commemorates 40 years of the first tennis partnership (1985, Gstaad). This watch is not just a memory, but sets the pace for a modern fashion icon – precise, sporty, with a touch of irony.

Elegance from the court – Rado Captain Cook x Tennis Limited Edition

The 39mm polished steel case with a thickness of 12mm is perfect for all wrist sizes – not too heavy, not too robust. The plastic is part of a high-tech ceramic insert on the rotating bezel, which is protected by a sapphire crystal. It is water-resistant to 300m, so it can withstand even the most healing sip at the pool after a hard fight.

Subtle tennis chic

Classic at first glance Rado Captain Cook x Tennis Limited Edition, but rich in detail beneath the surface. The dial flows from the center (ruthenium) towards white – a silent allusion to the tension and exciting conclusion of a tennis match. Four Super‑LumiNova luminous dots at 3, 6, 8 and 12 o’clock symbolize the points in the game (15, 30, 40, game). Otherwise, the seconds hand is finished with a yellowish tip, reminiscent of a speeding ball. This is the Rado Captain Cook x Tennis Limited Edition.

Under the hood: Rado caliber R763

The Rado Captain Cook x Tennis Limited Edition automatic movement with 25 jewels, a Nivachron spring and an 80-hour power reserve operates at 21,600 vph – this is the expected “Swiss” reliability, also tested according to COSC standards.

Smart EasyClip straps

It comes with a grain-of-rice steel wristband – and three textile NATO versions: blue (hard court), green (grass) and orange (clay). Snapping the strap is faster than switching sides during a game.

Limited edition: 1,985 pieces

For 2,800 CHF/EUR/USD (depending on region) you get a stylish package: watch, four straps and a leather travel case. For collectors and sports enthusiasts – a symphony of premium timepieces and tennis spirit.
