Rado True 40mm Unisex Watch

Ref. R27057732

The True has been Rado's ceramic argument since the 1990s — a long-running case that hardness and lightness could do more for a watch than polished steel ever managed. This reference takes that proposition somewhere more considered than most in the line: plasma high-tech ceramic gives the case and bracelet a dark, almost graphite tone that shifts between charcoal and a cooler metallic grey depending on the angle of the light, and 12 diamonds set at the hour positions read not as decoration but as a deliberate contrast against that industrial surface. At 40mm the watch sits neutrally between gendered sizing, and 10.4mm keeps it from feeling substantial despite weighing 121 grams across case and bracelet. The R763 runs on an ETA C07.611 base fitted with a Nivachron hairspring, which resists magnetic fields without the antimagnetic case engineering some movements require, and the 80-hour reserve means a watch left on the nightstand Friday evening is still running Monday morning. The titanium folding clasp is lighter than it looks — a small thing, but noticeable on a bracelet that is already doing a great deal of work to keep the overall wear comfortable.
