The Rado Captain Cook Rado x Tennis Limited Edition is priced at AUD$4,700 and is available now. While it may be best known for its remarkable collection of dive watches, Swiss producer Rado is no less formidable on land. The maison's dedication to precision and performance has resulted in a decades-long partnership with the sport of tennis, complete with big-name ambassadors (including Aussie legend Ash Barty) and a number of special releases. To celebrate 40 years of this thriving connection, the watchmaker has unveiled a brand-new Captain Cook x Tennis that is limited to just 1,985 pieces and adorned with powerful mechanics and pointed details. Rado Captain Cook X Tennis Limited Edition | Image: Rado The limited supply of 1,985 pieces was not chosen at random, as Rado's first tennis partnership kicked off in 1985. These two entities have been connected at the proverbial hip ever since, yielding a string of limited-edition timepieces throughout the years. Previous editions include 2004's Sintra Australia Open, 2019's Hyperchrome Ash Barty, and 2023's Captain Cook Cameron Norrie, to name just a few. Every release up to the latest one commemorates a rich history of partnerships between the watchmaker and tennis, and also the many more partnerships to come. The Captain Cook Rado x Tennis Limited Edition keeps the party going with a brilliant fusion of temperaments and details. It's conspicuously modern in terms of design and construction but still tethered to the long and rich heritage of the sports watch collection. Features include a 39mm stainless steel case with a matching crown and bracelet, though wearers have the option to swap in a NATO strap in either orange, blue, or green. It runs on Rado Calibre R763 Automatic movement with 80-hour power reserve and delivers a dive-worthy water-resistance of up to 300 metres. Rado Captain Cook X Tennis Limited Edition | Image: Rado We love it when a commemorative watch eschews overt gimmickry in favour of subtle detail, and that's exactly what Rado does with its latest limited edition model. Peer upon the ruthenium-to-white gradient dial to behold tennis ball-style dots around the perimeter, along with a similarly inspired hue on the tip of the second hand. The tennis motif becomes more apparent on the caseback, which features a special engraving and a tri-part embossment of three tennis courts (grass, clay, and hard). Flip the piece back over, turn off the lights, and Super-Luminova will bring various details to life on the minimalist display. There's also a laser-enhanced anchor just below the 12 o'clock marker and a compact date window at 3 o'clock. It all ties together quite handsomely while retaining the essence of a timeless sports watch. Get one for AUD$4,700 and celebrate 40 years of precision and performance across the worlds of tennis and horology alike.
