Introducing the Rado Captain Cook High-Tech Ceramic Skeleton

The original Captain Cook watch was a game changer in the world of dive watches, designed to withstand the most challenging conditions of underwater exploration. With a durable stainless steel case, a rotating bezel, and 300 meters of water resistance, this watch became an instant classic and set the standard for all future dive watches.

Over the years, Rado continued to innovate and push the boundaries of watchmaking, introducing new features and materials that made the Captain Cook watch line even more impressive. With the introduction of high-tech ceramic in the 1980s, Rado proved that it was not afraid to embrace new technologies. However, with the introduction of Plasma high-tech ceramic, Rado has taken the materials science to another level.

Plasma high-tech ceramic is a cutting-edge material that has taken the world of watchmaking by storm. This advanced material is created by subjecting high-tech ceramic to a high-temperature plasma treatment, which changes the surface properties of the ceramic and gives it a unique metallic shine. The plasma temperatures reach 20,000°C, or nearly four times that found on the Sun’s surface. Just as comparison, high-tech ceramic on the other hand is baked in an oven at “only” 1,450°C.
