Baselworld already over. And i have to say Rado True Open Heart caught many people’s eyes. It comes under two incarnations, one is matt black while the other is polished white high-tech ceramic. This watch just limited to 500 pieces each.
The most mesmerizing part is the mother-of-pearl dial, cut to razor thin 0.2 mm, it is slightly transparent exposing the nicely worked movement in a subtle way. The mother-of-pearl layer is fixed on a 0.4 mm brass “cut out”, resulting in 0.6 mm thin dial. It’s not that “in your face” open heart, or skeleton dial, it is way more sophisticated as the color of the mother-of-pearl is changing depending on the lighting condition and angle of view.
Depending on the colour of the , the black model comes with black mother-of-pearl dial coupled with black applied indexes and hands, while the white model is made with white mother-of-pearl, white indexes and hands.
The 40 mm monobloc case and its modern design render the True Open Heart appealing to both sexes. The high-tech ceramic used for the case and the bracelet will guaranty a superior comfort and durability — while high-tech ceramic is the lightest materials used in luxury watchmaking, it is nearly five times harder than steel.
Under the mother-of-pearl dial, we have the 25 jewels ETA C07.631 automatic calibre, offering 80 hours of power reserve.
