Rado Sintra Skeleton Automatic Watch

One of the last things that I ever thought I would see was a skeletonized dial Rado. The ultra minimalist brand that uses ceramic just doesn't "go that way." At least until now. The new Sintra Skeleton Automatic watch does skeletonization in a "Rado" way. Using a Sintra ceramic case and bracelet, the movement is a specially colored ETA automatic with mostly black bridges and some gold-tones segments. The movement is also COSC Chronometer certified.

Applied on the sapphire crystal are gold-toned hour markers so that you can read the time. The watch is an interesting look for Rado, and I like the two tone approach - giving the watch mostly black and gold tones. A dash of red color is included thanks to the synthetic ruby stones in the movement. On the back of the watch you can see a customized automatic rotor that is done in the shape of Rado's anchor logo.

Not too sure about the price, but the Sintra Skeleton Automatic watch will be limited to just 111 pieces. Look for it soon.
