Rado Centrix Automatic Diamonds R30020742 Watch

The Watch

Founded in 1957, Rado is one of the most sought-after watchmaking brands in the world, renowned for its one-of-a-kind creations and exceptional craftsmanship. The brand sets itself apart through its use of revolutionary materials to craft timepieces that are as elegant as they are enduring. Introducing the Centrix Automatic Diamonds R30020742 - designed to be worn with grace and style. This is a classic watch reimagined, both technically and aesthetically. Its round case is crafted in stainless steel with a polished finish for an even more distinguished look. The case measures 30.50 mm in diameter and 10.30 mm thick, weighing 85 g - a perfect fit for feminine wrists. The curved case flows seamlessly into the flat sapphire crystal, which extends all the way to the edge of the case middle. It features a double anti-reflective coating for optimal dial legibility. At 3 o'clock, the fluted crown is adorned with Rado's iconic anchor logo and handles the setting of the hours, minutes, and date. On the caseback, a snap-back with a transparent display offers a generous view of the movement's inner details - including Côtes de Genève on the rotor, perlage on the bridge, and snailing on the main plate. This caseback ensures a water resistance of 5 ATM.

The Dial

Elegant and eye-catching, the dial is crafted to bring a distinctive touch to your wrist. In black, it features a faceted finish with a stunning 3D effect and lacquer. Twelve sparkling diamonds totaling 0.038 carats serve as the hour markers. Brilliant-cut and claw-set, they are pointed to by the leaf-shaped hour and minute hands in a polished silver tone, paired with a classic seconds hand also in silver. The dial's striking design is completed by a date window at 6 o'clock with a black background and a silver frame that matches the overall aesthetic. Finally, the iconic anchor logo appears at 12 o'clock, followed by "Rado" and "Automatic," with "Jubilé" above the 6 o'clock marker and "Swiss Made" inscribed below.

The Movement

A Swiss automatic movement powers this model's functions. Specifically, it is the caliber R582, featuring 24 jewels and offering a power reserve of 48 hours. It exceeds standard precision testing requirements across 3 to 5 positions and is equipped with a Nivachron™ antimagnetic hairspring. Reliable and precise, it delivers a three-hand analog display with dependable date indication.

The Bracelet

The bracelet on this watch embodies understated sophistication through its silhouette and charming design. It features a row of H-link bracelet links crafted in stainless steel and connected by chamfered edges in black high-tech ceramic, creating a striking contrast. Remarkably lightweight and exceptionally comfortable, this bracelet is fitted with a butterfly deployment clasp with push-buttons for easy wear.

Water Resistance

With a water resistance of 50 meters, or 5 ATM in standard watchmaking terms, this timepiece can handle the occasional splash - but don't make a habit of it. You can wear it in the shower every now and then, but to keep the movement accurate and in top condition, our watch specialists strongly advise keeping it away from H2O in the bath, pool, or ocean. Bottom line: no swimming, no diving, and no prolonged water contact or immersion.
