Rado: watches made of modern materials The Rado brand has long been known for using the latest technology and most advanced materials in watchmaking. Since the 1960s, the brand has been using Hardmetal steel, a composite material consisting of ceramic tungsten carbide and a metal binder. It combines the hardness of ceramic with the strength of metal, so it Rado men's watches are distinguished by their durability. In the brand's watches you will also find one of the toughest materials in the world: sapphire glass. It is characterized not only by exceptional hardness, but also by a high level of transparency, which makes it an ideal material for watch glasses. Women's and men's Rado watches are also distinguished by their design: in many models, for example, the sapphire glass is stretched over the entire case of the watch. In models such as Rado Hyperchrome watch, stainless steel also plays an important role. The brand uses stainless steel grade 1.4435 for the outer parts of the watches. This is a non-magnetic steel with a high content of chromium, nickel, and molybdenum, making it extremely resistant to corrosion. Another important material is titanium: durable, just like steel, but much lighter than it. Rado uses grade 2 titanium, with a low oxygen content, which increases its hardness. Thanks to titanium, Rado men's watch stands out for its extremely durable bracelet clasp, among other things. Are you looking for unusual solutions?
