This latest Captain Cook collection from Rado also goes to show just how versatile its design is, looking the part across such a range of different styles.

The watch remained in the Rado archives, until 2017 when the Lengnau-founded brand decided to revive the design, to significant success. Its vintage details, and up-to-date features make it the perfect watch for men and women. This was less than a decade after the very first real dive watches were born, and Rado continued to manufacture the Captain Cook until 1972. Shop Rado’s Captain Cook Watches Charting new territory in vintage watches, the Rado Captain Cook is a natural choice for modern explorers. The Captain Cook was first released by Rado in 1962, right at the peak of the global interest in recreational scuba diving. The latest expression of the vintage-inspired dive watch is the Rado Captain Cook Bi-Colour, which is bringing back the 1980s with a vengeance. For Rado, that watch might just be the Captain Cook, a timepiece with a consistent design-DNA that can be seen through its countless iterations over the years. Every watch brand hopes to have a dynamic, ever-evolving design in its collection, but very few brands are able to maintain the discipline required to have a design that becomes universally recognisable.
