The Rado True Round Open Heart, with the brand’s renowned blend of design excellence and material mastery, will generate a devoted following among men and women around the world who are drawn equally to the fashionable and the innovative. With cases and bracelets crafted from high-tech ceramic, and a striking new dial with a cutout revealing the watch’s beating heart, four new interpretations of the True Round Open Heart – including a striking limited edition model – proudly distinguish themselves from every other timepiece on the market.
The dial cutout is worthy of special attention. Boldly offset near the centre of the dial is a creatively crafted “8”, a figure considered to be the most fortuitous of all numbers in some parts of the world – a perfect feature for a watch released in a limited edition of 888 pieces. Viewed from another angle, this striking cutout is the symbol for infinity, which wonderfully expresses the endlessness of time and all things eternal.
And breathtaking design isn’t limited to the watch’s exterior. The R734 movement is not only a mechanical wonder but an expression of the art of watchmaking, with its sunray guilloche finish. Fitted with an antimagnetic NivachronTM hairspring, it delivers a power reserve of 80 hours.
Let’s take a closer look at the four new Rado True Round Open Heart models. All four feature the characteristics that define Rado: high-tech ceramic cases and bracelets as well as cutting-edge design. They also have the bold cutout dial that offers such a compelling look at the impressively finished R734 calibre at the heart of the watch. All the models have rose gold-coloured hour and minute hands and applied indexes with white Super-LumiNova® along with a rose gold-coloured seconds hand. Each one is water resistant to 5 bar (50 metres).
The Rado True Round Open Heart Limited Edition is sure to excite collectors and aficionados. Its dial, with its intriguing cutout, is protected by a unique dichroic sapphire crystal, whose colours shift alluringly. That means that every glance at the watch – and there will be a lot of them – offers a different view. It has a polished white high-tech ceramic case and crown with a specially-engraved titanium case back. Confirming its special status with the engraving: LIMITED EDITION ONE OUT OF 888. In pleasing contrast to its white sunray dial are rose gold-coloured bevels and applied indexes with white Super-LumiNova®, a rose gold- coloured moving anchor symbol on a white background and a grey printed minute track. The Rado logo is also positioned distinctively on a part of the dial extending from the outer ring to the base of the figure 8. The watch is presented on a polished white high-tech ceramic titanium bracelet with a 3-fold clasp. This special True Round Open Heart Limited Edition timepiece is delivered with a Limited Edition certificate.
Each of the three other models will attract its own loyal fans and all deserve special attention. The first has a polished black high-tech ceramic monobloc case and crown. Its black PVD-coated titanium case back’s sapphire crystal allows an unobstructed view of the movement. It features a black sunray dial with rose gold-coloured bevels and a grey printed minute track. An iconic rose gold-coloured Rado moving anchor is featured on a black background, and the brand’s logo is printed on the dial. Fittingly, this study in black is delivered on a polished black high-tech ceramic bracelet with a titanium 3-fold clasp.
The second also blends Rado’s mastery of materials with its technical wizardry. It has a polished plasma high-tech ceramic monobloc case and crown and a titanium case back whose sapphire crystal reveals an eye-catching view of the movement. This model features a grey sunray dial with rose gold-coloured bevels and a silver-coloured printed minute track. The Rado logo is printed on the distinctive grey dial and the characteristic rose gold-coloured moving anchor symbol offers a pleasing contrast to a rhodium background. The watch is presented on a polished plasma high-tech ceramic bracelet with a titanium 3- fold clasp.
Rounding out the collection is a True Round Open Heart with a white high-tech ceramic monobloc case and crown. The R734 automatic movement is on proud display through the titanium case back’s sapphire crystal. It features a white sunray dial with rose gold-coloured bevels and a grey printed minute track and Rado logo on a dedicated part of the dial while the rose gold-coloured moving anchor symbol is presented on a white background. Adding to the sense of light and elegance is a polished white high-tech ceramic bracelet with a titanium 3-fold clasp.

You can’t go wrong with any of them because all of these Rado True Round Open Heart watches were designed to men and women who – just like you – are drawn to watches that are relentlessly contemporary but which also have a timelessness and style that make them true keepsakes.
