Product Information

Full details

The Rado Florence 38mm Black watch is designed for individuals who appreciate subtle elegance and Swiss craftsmanship. Its key benefit lies in its sophisticated aesthetic, inspired by Florentine architecture, and reliable quartz movement for precise timekeeping. A potential caveat is its 50-meter water resistance, suitable for splashes but not for deep immersion. This watch features a polished stainless steel case and bracelet, a striking black sunray dial adorned with 12 diamonds, and a durable, scratch-resistant sapphire crystal.

FAQs

What is the water resistance of the Rado Florence 38mm?

The watch is water-resistant up to 50 meters (5 bar). This means it can withstand splashes and brief immersion but is not suitable for swimming, diving, or water sports.

How do I set the time on my Rado Florence watch?

Gently pull the crown outwards to the first or second position (refer to your manual for specifics) and rotate to set the hour and minute hands. Push the crown back in fully to secure.

What type of movement does this watch use?

This Rado Florence model is powered by a Swiss-made calibre R073 quartz movement, known for its accuracy and shock resistance.

Are the diamonds on the dial genuine?

Yes, the dial is adorned with 12 genuine diamonds, indicated by the 'jubilé' logo.

How should I clean my Rado Florence watch?

Clean the watch with a soft, dry cloth. For more stubborn marks, use a slightly damp cloth and dry immediately. Avoid using soaps, solvents, or abrasive cleaners.

What is the warranty period for Rado watches?

Rado watches typically come with a manufacturer's warranty. Please refer to the warranty card included with your purchase or the official Rado website for specific terms and duration.

Can I wear this watch while swimming?

No, the 50-meter water resistance is not sufficient for swimming or diving. It is only suitable for protection against accidental splashes.

Troubleshooting

Watch has stopped working

The battery may be depleted and needs replacement. Consult a qualified watch technician for battery replacement.

Inaccurate timekeeping

Ensure the crown is fully pushed in. If inaccuracy persists, the quartz movement may require servicing or battery check.

Scratches on the crystal or case

While the sapphire crystal is highly scratch-resistant, deep impacts can cause damage. Polishing may be possible for minor stainless steel scratches by a professional, but crystal scratches typically require replacement.

Bracelet feels loose or tight

The bracelet requires adjustment. This is best performed by a professional watchmaker or jeweler who can add or remove links safely.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

This watch comes pre-set with its quartz movement activated. The crown is typically in the '0' position. To set the time, gently pull the crown outwards to the first or second click (depending on the movement's features for date setting, if applicable) and rotate it to the desired hour and minute. Push the crown back in to ensure water resistance. Always refer to the official Rado user manual for precise crown operation instructions.

Compatibility:

Bracelet Sizing: The stainless steel bracelet may require professional adjustment by a watchmaker or jeweler to achieve a perfect fit for your wrist.
Battery: The watch is powered by a standard quartz watch battery. When it depletes, it will need to be replaced by a qualified watch technician.

Care:

Cleaning: Clean the stainless steel case, bracelet, and crystal regularly with a soft, dry or slightly damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials that could scratch the surfaces.
Water Resistance: While water-resistant to 50 meters, avoid prolonged exposure to water, especially in environments like saunas or hot tubs, as extreme temperatures can affect seals. It is advisable to have the water resistance checked periodically, particularly if the watch has been subjected to impact.
Storage: Store the watch in its original box or a soft pouch when not in use to protect it from dust and scratches.
