Another fun summer watch from Rado.

The Captain Cook is a good modern re-interpretation of the original from the 60ies. A watch that in its time was clearly inspired by the design codes of the Blancpain Fifty Fathoms (as many other dive watches from this era). This specific bronze alloy is

My cute little ca. 1963 Rado Captain Cook (with some detail pictures)

This is a ref. 11683 with an AS 1701 movement. Jubilee-type Rado bracelet. As far as I could gather some 8000 pieces were produced in the ca. 1963-1968 time frame. Cheers, HSTE
