Going the Distance with Rado

September 29, 2015 EZ Malaysia Leave a comment

For fans of plasma ceramic who prefer a more pared-down model, Rado presents the Rado HyperChrome Automatic. Polished plasma ceramic meets rose gold coloured elements, which add to the deep warm metallic shine of the plasma, achieved without the use of any metal. Undercover, this metallic-looking watch has all the benefits of ceramic. It is the timepiece that will not only stand by you as you are put through your paces on the court, track or field, but will be equally at home on your wrist at a black tie event.
