RADO

RADO is chosen by those who value design, comfort and innovation as much as traditional Swiss watchmaking. As a Swiss-made luxury watch brand, RADO is internationally recognised for its use of advanced materials, refined aesthetics and exceptional everyday wearability, allowing each watch to be worn daily and appreciated for years to come.

With a heritage dating back to 1917, RADO has built its reputation on pushing material boundaries in watchmaking. Its pioneering work with high-tech ceramic and scratch-resistant materials has earned the brand the title "Master of Materials."

RADO watches are designed to last, combining contemporary style, durability and modern engineering, making them a distinctive choice for those seeking something beyond the conventional Swiss watch.

The best way to choose a RADO watch is to start with lifestyle, taste and how the watch will be worn day to day.

Everyday elegance & versatility: If the wearer wants a watch that works effortlessly from day to evening, the RADO Centrix is a popular choice. Its balanced design and refined look make it ideal for daily wear and gifting.

Modern, design-forward tastes: For those drawn to contemporary design and innovation, the RADO True collection showcases the brand's signature high-tech ceramic. Lightweight, smooth and modern, it's ideal for someone who appreciates design as much as function.

Iconic & statement style: If they enjoy bold design with heritage character, the RADO DiaStar and RADO Original collections offer strong visual identity and distinctive materials, perfect for someone who wants their watch to stand out.

Classic & timeless appeal: For a more traditional aesthetic, styles like the RADO Coupole Classic focus on elegance, symmetry and enduring design, making them a safe and sophisticated gift.

A versatile RADO with a clean dial and neutral size is often the easiest choice when buying as a gift. Bracelet sizing can usually be adjusted after purchase for the perfect fit.

Popular RADO styles for men: Men often favour watches that balance presence with versatility. Collections like Captain Cook, Centrix, True, and DiaStar are popular for their confident proportions, durable materials and ability to transition from work to weekend with ease. Ceramic models are especially appreciated for their comfort and modern feel.

Popular RADO styles for women: Women frequently choose RADO watches that combine elegance with comfort. The True and Centrix collections are especially popular for their refined profiles and lightweight ceramic construction. For those who prefer a bolder look, DiaStar offers a strong, iconic design with lasting appeal.

You should always buy a RADO watch from a reputed & authorised retailer such as WATCHO Jewellers. WATCHO gives you the flexibility to buy online with confidence or visit our Richmond boutique to see the watches in person before making your decision.

The WATCHO boutique in Richmond is home to one of the largest collections of RADO watches in the London area, allowing you to explore the brand's best-selling models and latest releases in one place.

Every RADO watch would have a 5-year international warranty, and most purchases are complemented by a complimentary gift or voucher, along with free bracelet resizing to ensure the perfect fit.

Purchasing from an authorised RADO retailer guarantees that your watch is genuine, comes with a valid stamped warranty card, and includes full after-sales and servicing support. This offers complete peace of mind — whether you're buying for yourself or choosing a meaningful gift.

Yes. Rado offers strong long-term value when you prioritise design, comfort, durability and everyday wearability. With advanced materials (ceramic, hard-metal, sapphire crystal) and a 5-year warranty, Rado is well suited as a daily luxury watch.

If you're buying primarily for investment or resale, values can vary and may not match more heritage-driven collector brands. Rado is best enjoyed as a watch to wear and love.

RADO is famed for its scratch-resistant materials. Many RADO watches feature high-tech ceramic, which is significantly harder than stainless steel, making it extremely scratch-resistant. Additionally, virtually all RADO watches use sapphire crystal, the second-hardest material known (after diamond), to protect the dial. This combination ensures exceptional durability and keeps the watch looking new for years.

While RADO watches are water-resistant, they are not completely "waterproof." Most RADO models offer water resistance ratings suitable for everyday use (e.g., hand washing, rain). The specific rating (measured in metres or ATM) varies by model. For swimming or diving, always check the watch's specific water resistance rating. We recommend having the water resistance seals checked every 2 years during a service to maintain the integrity of the watch.
