Combining innovative design and high-tech materials for watches that will stand the test of time Rado is a globally recognised Swiss watch brand, famous for innovative design and its use of revolutionary materials to create some of the world’s most recognisable and durable watches. Ever since its beginnings in Lengnau, Switzerland, Rado has had a pioneering spirit, with the brand philosophy “if we can imagine it, we can make it” still holding true today.
The recipient of numerous prestigious international awards for designer watches, and with one eye firmly focused on the future, Rado is regarded as the most forward thinking design player in watchmaking today. Great design and long lasting materials are intrinsic to all our watches, including vintage watches, sporty watches, diving watches, leather watches and more. With over 30 years of specialising in high-tech ceramic watches, Rado has gone from one breakthrough to the next and has a long and proud history of innovation and Swiss watchmaking.
Most RADO watch self-winding movements can be wound properly by most watch winder boxes. Usually RADO's self-winding movements need to rotate 650 to 800 revolutions per day, and most of them can be wound clockwise. So please take some time and like to choose a cute clockwork that suits you and your watch.

If you could not find your watch model (or caliber) in this table, you may determine your RADO winding mode on a trial basis. You should select the combined winding mode (CW+CCW) and the minimal number of turns per day (TPD). Then place your watch into the watch winding box and check after a few days how accurate your watch shows the time. If it runs behind, it is necessary to increase the number of TPD by one step.
