It may look like a stainless-steel chronograph, but the case and bracelet of this new piece by Rado are actually made of high-tech ceramic that has undergone a special plasma treatment that gives it a sheen similar to that of platinum. During the process, which has been patented by Rado, gases that are activated at 20,000°C modify the chemical composition of the high-tech ceramic, changing its surface colour but retaining all of its essential properties. The new chronograph is powered by the ETA A05.H31 calibre, which offers a power reserve of 60 hours.
