Rado True Square Automatic Skeleton 38mm Unisex Watch

Ref. R27196152

Rado has spent decades refining high-tech ceramic into something genuinely usable — scratch-resistant, light against the skin, warm to the touch in a way metal never quite manages. The True Square takes that material logic and pushes it further with a monobloc construction: case and form cut from a single ceramic block, which removes the seams and joins that tend to accumulate wear on conventional cases. In black plasma, the result is a surface that reads as near-uniform darkness until light catches the matte finish at an angle. The skeleton layout works in two layers, a brushed anthracite lower plate visible beneath a blacked-out top plate, and the separation between them gives the dial genuine depth rather than the flat exposure of a single-plate skeleton. The rhodium anchor at four o'clock rotates with the movement, a small mechanical detail that earns its position without overclaiming. An 80-hour power reserve means a watch left off the wrist on Friday is still running Monday morning, and the Nivachron hairspring handles magnetic fields that would disturb a conventional balance — practical considerations quietly built in. At 9.7mm thick, the square case sits closer to the wrist than the 38mm width alone would suggest, and the matching ceramic bracelet, folding into a titanium clasp, means nothing interrupts the all-ceramic read from dial to wrist.
