There is no other watch in the world right now quite like the Rado Captain Cook High Tech Ceramic, which is what makes it such a notable watch to gift this year. The 60-year old legacy of this classic dive watch was, in recent years, revisited by Rado. And now it has an entirely modern spin: ceramic, titanium and other modern materials meet a retro design and a skeletonized dial. It’s a classic looker with legit dive watch chops and bold style.
The even better news is that it’s available in four different colorways and styles — one for everyone on your gift list from the funky adventure-loving watch fan to the serious outdoor enthusiast. It’s a gift they are sure to use for years to come, and likely pass down for generations.

The blue ceramic bezel, chapter ring and outer dial of the R32128202 offer a subtle touch of color that contrasts its skeletonized view of the Rado caliber R734 movement.

Blacked out and sleek, with an open-worked dial surprise. This would be the Captain Cook for both island adventure and a formalwear dinner.

The diver’s delight: Its innovative high-tech ceramic monobloc case is blacked out, with a hardy rubber strap to boot. And it’s got more water resistance than you’ll ever need, pal.

It’s not really about the flash — it’s about the statement. Gold accents on the crown, bezel, hour markers, and hands (oh, and don’t forget that awesome Rado script) make this the scratch-resistant, hypoallergenic ceramic watch of choice for a special night out.
