Things I love: The bi-compax layout with the date at 6. The RED date!!! 300M Waterproofness. The lume including the lumed bezel. Things I don't like: The fact that the chronograph seconds hand and the running seconds hand is not lumed. A Diver's watch without a lumed running seconds hand does not make sense at all. I also not sure about the fact that the Chrono minutes hand does not jump, but is always moving gradually. Thanks for the in depth detailed look at this piece.
Allow me to add this: please avoid calling this a “Bi-Compax” layout! The name “Bi-Compax” belongs to a Universal Genève chronograph, was a name given by this unfortunately no longer existing brand to one of its models. What you do is as Mercedes would call one of its cars “Golf” or BMW would call one of its cars “A6”… I’d recommend you to call that configuration double counter or 6/9 counter chronograph
Loved the “lifestyle chronograph you use to bake some spaghetti” bit 😂👍
That’s clearly what I call a lifestyle chronograph… preparing tea… cooking spaghetti…
Your reviews are always informative and fun to watch. Next best thing to visiting a watch store
Yes, go and try it on your wrist and please keep us posted…. Thanks for your kind feedback….
Great review. Love this watch. Hopefully will add it ♥️👍
I keep my fingers crossed 🤞🏼
really like it... this is a great watch channel, it is really goo.
Thanks for sharing our passion and your kind feedback!
I love modular chronographs. I had a rare invicta auto chrono with 57 jewels. It was too big and heavy so i sold it. I wish they left the hour totalizer for the chrono on the dial and included the 4 subdivisions for the chapter ring, to make it a full chrono.
Thanks for sharing! So what are you actually wearing?
Hello Alex, how have you been?) Without a doubt, Rado gives us a great piece, the measurements are excellently well achieved, but the most remarkable thing is that the bronze looks phenomenal (although the black dial stainless steel version looks very Bad ass). The best way to dress this Bronze Captain Cook is in leather because it looks elegant and classic, I love it!!!!
Greetings!!!
Jonny, I’m fine 🙂 thanks for asking and sharing your thoughts with us…
Nice video and excellent watch👌 what do you think about Rado substituting the plain nato with a blue rubber strap for an amazing 3 strap combo?
Very, very good idea!
Hi, thanks for the explanation. Do you know how to reset the Chronograph hand to center at 12. I feel that it rests little bit off from 12 on my watch. I am probably nitpicking but i know other chronographs have capability to reset alignment of Chronograph hand. Thanks.
You can only align a chronograph-hand with a quartz calibre … In your case, if the hand is misaligned, the mechanical calibre needs the help of a professional and well trained watchmaker…
I own the smaller 37mm non chrono version, brown dial. It is 100m wr, a bit reluctant to take it in water, as it has a non screw down crown.
Why worry? It is certified for 100 meters ++
eine schöne Uhr, aber bei dem Preis gibt es auch einige Alternativen. Bin gespannt, wie sich das Bronze-Gehäuse über einen längeren Zeitraum verhält. Aber insgesamt ein sehr gutes Video, vielen Dank dafür. 👍🏻😊
Vergleiche sehr genau…. Du wirst sehen, dass das Preis-Leistungsverhältnis gar nicht so schlecht ist….
Great video. Thx.
Thanks! Any thoughts about the watch itself?
I love it
Thanks for sharing!
Very nice presentation for a very nice watch, usually I'm not a fan of bronze but this version is great. I love chrono and not so many watch maker are making dive chrono. Just one thing disturb me it has almost everything to be certified as a dive watch just missing luminova on the running seconds (or I don't see well). For the bronze looking gold just need to be careful and adapt your clothing to the place you go sad to say but life is like that.....
This Rado is not certified as a diver… that’s more a cool lifestyle chronograph than a professional diver…
Perfect review! I really like this watch, I am considering it for my collection, the only problem it constantly reminds me of the Omega Seamaster Chronograph, which I happen to have in my collection, so I am uncertain about it. Interesting is the caseback Titanium… probably grade 2? As always thank you for the video ;) and I recently got the Rado Over Pole ;)
You should compare your Omega 1:1 to it… then you will know… I am pretty sure you will discover more differences than you actually think… keep us posted…
@@WatchAdvisor thank you for the encouragement and the idea, I just organised the Captain Cook Chronograph for today afternoon ;)
Enjoy 😉
@@WatchAdvisor I kept your advice ;) I do not want to promote my channel here so won‘t copy the link… but you can find it, also left a surprise for you in the video ;)
I think it is a beautiful diver watch, hope to get one someday (no chrono) on rubber
Which material would you choose?
That's amazing bronze of Rado watch I thought better than Tudor Black Bay Bronze much more, at least not to be colour fling 😂😂
This Rado for sure a good choice… if you can compare it 1:1 to the Tudor and share some thoughts with us thereafter…
Amazing! If u can, do the Heuer carrera red dial.
Not planed so far… in autumn I will see what I can do
To the Choppa!
Where are we flying to?
How do I change the time?
By pulling out the crown and fix it in its second position...
Super
Can you specify what's super?
@@WatchAdvisor 1. Bronze + blue. Blue + gold high new markers = So very good visibility.
2. Solid build. 3. Big date. 4. Diver + Chrono. 5.Lumed bezel 6.Well priced.
All The Best Alex. Cool!
Awesome review! I hope Rado would make a Panda look for this design.
Well, who knows… might happen in the future… thanks for sharing…
it is definitely an impressive and attractive piece. Not sure where and when one would wear it though. As a diver would rather use my Duro. To work, a bit flashy. So that just leaves the swimming pool. Hmmmmmm........
Thanks for sharing 😆
Is bronze still a thing?
????
@@WatchAdvisor it‘s slang for „ist das Thema Bronze immer noch angesagt?“
@@x201t Danke fürs Erörtern!
Has been for about 5000 years already, I don't see any signs of that changing...
@@pistonburner6448 you are wrong mate. Bronze age is over since 2800 years.
🥇
How would you wear it?
@@WatchAdvisor no still saving up for a blancpain ✌🏻
@@affegorilla1299 Which one? Fifty Fathoms?
@@WatchAdvisor date your desert limited edition 🫶
Viewer from the beautiful caribbean island 🏝 of Trinidad & Tobago 🇹🇹 w.i Most watch & thieves in general....say to themselves is if it looks good on your wrist it definitely,will look better with them..... So hand it over 👀
????
@@WatchAdvisor That's the mindset of most thieves which,We don't condone ! So i do hope this removes any further ambiguity OK
Yes Sir!
Need other colors.This is the bad color for me.Green and burgundy are good🎉 and how can you start in the water😁
A couple of weeks ago we did a poll/survey in our "Community" section ... www.youtube.com/@WatchAdvisor/community ... where you clearly see how popular blue is...
"too expansive for a rado".. some people still only buy a brand s name on a dial..🤷♂️
Put a R...X logo and charge $10K for it and you will get tons of "omg, absolute bargain", "crazy value for money" comments.. 😅
Are you aware of the latest developments Rado made? Obviously not… 🤷🏼♂️
@@WatchAdvisor i agree with you (maybe i made a mistake in my firt comment, english is not my native language)
I was talking about people who say rado is crap just because its rado, without looking quality
@@jeanzx6r616 ya, he misunderstood u...never mind, i got your points
4750 Euro incl. 20 % VAT
I have never seen a crazier price for a watch. That is unbelievable. I should imagine a 60% discount is available today.
I'll start lifting my jaw!
?????
@@WatchAdvisor You think that €4750 is a price that anyone will pay for a Rado?
As I wrote before. That is crazy.
What is your perception about Rado? Are you confusing the brand with another one?
@@WatchAdvisor Rado is a €800-€1200 watch brand. €4750 is Omega territory
That was many years ago… today this is the territory of Certina…
DEAR ALEXANDER,
GOD BLESS YOU MY FRIEND. I AM VERY PROUD OF YOU AND VERY HAPPY FOR YOU. I HOPE ALL OF YOUR DREAMS COME TRUE. I HOPE YOU HAD THE BEST AND HAPPIEST CHRISTMAS OF YOUR ENTIRE LIFE. I HOPE YOU HAD THE BEST AND HAPPIEST 4TH OF JULY OF YOUR ENTIRE LIFE. 🙏
SINCERELY PETER
🙏🏻
No column wheel or vertical clutch, very disappointing.
Would the Captain Cook be powered by such a calibre it would be more expensive though...
@@WatchAdvisor Nonsense, take a look at the Longines spirit Chrongraph, Column wheel with a vertical clutch, 64 hour power reserve, Chronometer, silicon hairspring and much cheaper at £2600.
Difficult to compare with Longines, Rado has its own rules... in combination with the bronze case it would be more expensive, believe me...
