The dial also sports a swiveling gold anchor at 12 o’clock, a neat, very, very subtle touch that gives users an excuse to twirl the watch around and wonder, “Why is my anchor spinning? What does it mean?” Tres 60’s! Par for the vintage theme, the hands and markers are a cream colored Super-LumiNova. Its dial is called “green sunray” in the press materials and is slightly domed, giving the high-gloss face a three-dimensional glean reminiscent of a highly polished fender on a British racing green Jaguar XK-120. While I would have preferred a matching color scheme on the bezel indices, the silver is subtle enough to work with the theme. The Captain’s green dial is surrounded by a matching ceramic bezel and lives in a bronze case with a titanium back. The Rado delivers a rich wrist statement, utilizing the green and gold of the old Marshall Field’s logo (not John Deere, thank you), and is a striking take on the traditional dive treatment. Rado’s reissue of its original 1960s Captain Cook diver teases elements of these classics, with updates that tastefully reflect popular contemporary treatments and materials. Virtually every other dive watch developed in the past 70 years has drawn from the feature sets of these two watches. Like the Eames chair, they sport all the elements, on functional and aesthetic levels, that serve to define the breed. The Blancpain 50 Fathoms and its counterpart, the Rolex Submariner, have collectively set the standard by which all other dive watches should be measured. Just hours before departure, I was unboxing this bronze beauty and tossing it in the carry-on bag. I told the very responsive Rado rep if he could get me the watch before I left, it would become my traveling companion on the trip for a hard-core review. Fate, in the form of a press release from Rado, showed up two days before I was scheduled to leave for Tamarindo, Costa Rica, with an offer to review its new Captain Cook dive watch, reference R32504315 | 01.763.0504.3.131 Rado Captain Cook Automatic Bronze with the 42mm-wide case.
