Posted by lifata on May 15th, 2023

If you want to say which function of the watch is the most popular in recent years, it is definitely the dual time and the world time watch, because these watches express an appeal, that is, we want to travel! Let's take a look at how this Rado replica Captain Cook Over-Pole watch takes us to travel.

In my impression, this is the second time that Rado’s Captain Cook series has launched a replica watch. The last time was 2019. The same is that both watches are limited to 1962 pieces to commemorate the birth year of the prototype watch MK1. In recent years, best replica watches have become more and more popular, and a successful replica watch needs three elements. First, keep the important features of the original. Second, make appropriate modifications according to the current mainstream aesthetics. Third, the integration of traditional crafts and today's most advanced technology can make up for the shortcomings of history while retaining the feeling for tradition.

Undoubtedly, Rado's Captain Cook Over-Pole is a success. First of all, it perfectly retains the classic elements such as the inward bezel, box-shaped mirror, red calendar numbers, and 37 mm diameter of the original work. So the first impression of this watch is that it is simple with exquisiteness. Secondly, this watch has made a bold breakthrough on the basis of the original work, turning the diving scale circle of MK1 into the most popular and practical world city circle at present, and it is still made of ceramics.

The world time function of this watch is more interesting, it is 100% manual world time. The world time we have been in contact with in the past is either linked by the city circle, or linked by the 24-hour pointer or the scale circle, but this watch is not linked. If you want to know the time around the world, you only need to turn the bezel according to the time displayed by the hour hand, fake watches uk and align the city name of your time zone with the 24-hour scale circle on the outermost edge of the dial. Because the hour hand is moving and the bezel is not moving, the world time can be kept for one hour by turning it once. To put it simply, you can watch it anytime you want. Although there is no automatic convenience in manual world time, don't forget that it is a replica watch. In addition, there is another advantage of manual world time, that is, as long as the watch can run normally, this function will not be broken. In addition, this world time has another feature, that is, the 24 cities on the bezel are all famous port cities in the world, so as to convey the spirit of Captain Cook.

Although the appearance of this world time is retro and the function is manual, the technology used in the movement is the latest. The R862 manual movement of this watch not only has a power reserve of up to 80 hours, but also uses the Nivachron hairspring jointly developed by the group and Audemars Piguet. This hairspring is made of non-magnetic titanium-based compensation alloy. As a metal hairspring, its antimagnetic performance is not only comparable to that of silicon hairspring, but also has excellent temperature resistance and shock resistance. This watch is equipped with two straps and is water-resistant to 100 meters, which is convenient for you to get into the water while traveling.
