The Rado Sintra XXL Automatic with sapphire crystal

May 2006


The new Rado Sintra Automatic from the Sintra XXL range comes with a transparent sapphire crystal back offering a view of the precise and beautiful self-winding movement. Combined with dial graphics designed to match the form of the case, and the scratch-resistant high-tech ceramics of the case and bracelet, the result is a refreshingly refined yet contemporary watch with inspection window.

The gentle curvature of the sapphire crystal glass allows a clear view of the dial with its generously proportioned Arabic numerals. Prominent hands add to its dynamic appearance. The clear-cut lines and red logo with the stylised, oscillating anchor, Rado's symbol that indicates a self-winding movement, lend an additional note of refinement to the dial. The gentle barrel shaped case and integrated bracelet mirror that of the recognisable flowing lines of the Sintra range. Crafted from either precious platinum or high-tech ceramics in colour or black, these elements provide maximum scratch-resistance.

A scratch-resistant sapphire crystal back yields a view of the very heart of the watch – a mechanical ETA self-winding movement which is finely decorated with heat-blued screws and has a power reserve of over 38 hours.

Since the inception of the brand in 1957, Rado engineers have perpetually sought out unusual and rare materials for their watches. Together with the unmistakeable designs that distinguish the Rado collection, these are the pillars of Rado's steadfast company philosophy. The genuinely outstanding performance in scratch-resistance and lasting value is provided by the high-tech ceramics that Rado was the very first watchmaker to introduce and which is still a defining feature in the Rado collection today. The scratch-resistant high-tech ceramics alone are the product of many years of experience in research and specialist knowledge. This results in incomparable durability for Rado watches that constitutes eternal pleasure for the wearer.
