Rado Captain Cook Over-Pole Limited Edition 39mm Unisex Watch

Ref. R32193018

The Over-Pole name traces back to Rado's mid-century travel watches, built for an era when polar air routes were opening long-haul flying to new destinations and a worldtimer was a genuinely practical tool rather than a decorative one. This limited edition revives that brief with the R862 movement — manual-winding, 80 hours of reserve, and a worldtimer display carried on a high-tech ceramic bezel ring bearing the city indices. The caseback opens onto Côtes-de-Genève finishing and blued screws, which is the kind of detail that rewards ownership rather than the buying decision. At 39mm and 10.9mm deep, the case sits neatly under a cuff while still carrying the worldtimer complication without crowding the dial. The silver-to-black sunburst gradient shifts considerably with the light, reading almost silver-white at midday and considerably darker in shade. The watch ships with both a rice-grain PVD bracelet and the brown leather strap, and Rado's Easy-Clip system means switching between them requires no tools and about ten seconds — a small thing that matters when a worldtimer is actually being used across time zones rather than sitting in a drawer.
