HyperChrome

Ok ok, not the highest class brand, but I still like my Rado Hyperchrome 1616 in brown ceramic and brown dial, limited to 400 pieces worldwide. I like the brown ceramic color combined with the matte brown strap. What do you think? Greetz Oliver

As already mentioned, RADO introduced the Hyperchrome Ultralight back in 2016, at 56 grams, using a mix of SiN ceramic and hardened Ti on the exterior, and aluminium bridges for the movement., and all for $2500 ish. Most of the R&D has therefore been done

...well after I saw the price I had to shake my head in bewilderment. Who is their target audience for this watch? The über rich will probably go for RM, AP, or even Hublot for a "haute horology" piece. Meanwhile, the average Joe Schmoe won't even enterta

Recently RADO have created a silicon-based ceramic, which is harder still, and a hardened titanium alloy which is approaching typical Zr02 hardness levels. You’ll find that in the Ltd Edition HyperChrome Ultra Light models they launched at Baselworld ’16,

I am really surprised by the latest incoming - a Rado. Yes, Rado . Seriously not a brand that I take notice until this - The Hyperchrome Captain Cook. Did some research after the launch in Basel 17, it is faithful to the original first released in the 60'

other than vintage pieces. YTD only 2 came in, Omega SM300 few mths back and the Rado Hyperchrome Captain Cook last week. Am not too hopeful the remaining 2 will be in before year end. They are Rolex BTW . Cheers! SF

Magnus, my pleasure. The brown version is made of brown ceramic and limited to 400 pieces worldwide with only 7 pieces here in Germany. A rare bird already... Oliver

Magnus, many thanks for the great review!! One of my current favorites!! Need to get the two Titaniums as well.... The brown version is limited to 400 pieces worldwide, the blue dialed titanium one to 1616 pieces. Oliver

I feel very drawn to the design of the Hyperchrome but would still need to try it on for size. And a dark dial titanium would probably be my absolute preference I guess I need to get my act together and go to a Radio boutique one of these days
