About Rado
Watches have carried the Rado name since 1957, and the company is part of the Swatch Group.
Rado is known for scratch-resistant case materials. The DiaStar 1 of 1962 used a hardmetal case and sapphire crystal, and high-tech ceramic has since become central to the brand. The Captain Cook dive watch, also first released in 1962, is another of its main collections.
