Product Information

Full details

The Rado Centrix - Brown - 30mm watch is designed for individuals who appreciate a blend of classic elegance and modern innovation in their timepieces. Its key benefit lies in its sophisticated aesthetic, featuring a brown faceted dial adorned with 12 diamonds and a luxurious rose gold-colored PVD-coated stainless steel bracelet with brown high-tech ceramic middle links. A potential caveat for some users might be the 30mm dial size, which may be smaller than preferred for those seeking a more substantial watch face. This iconic timepiece boasts a reworked design with a rounded sapphire crystal, a curved case, and advanced quartz movement for enhanced accuracy and shock resistance, complemented by water resistance up to 50 meters.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

What is the significance of the 'Preci Drive' and 'Heavy Drive' features?

Preci Drive enhances the accuracy of the quartz movement, while Heavy Drive improves its resistance to shocks, making the watch more robust and reliable.

How should I clean the brown high-tech ceramic parts of the bracelet?

Use a soft, slightly damp cloth to wipe the ceramic links. For stubborn dirt, a soft brush can be used gently, followed by wiping with a clean, dry cloth.

Is the watch suitable for swimming or showering?

The watch has a water resistance of 50 meters, which is suitable for splashes and brief immersion. It is not recommended for swimming, showering, or diving.

What is the material of the watch case and bracelet?

The case is made of stainless steel with a rose gold-colored PVD coating, and the bracelet features polished rose gold-colored PVD-coated stainless steel with brown high-tech ceramic middle links.

How often should the battery be replaced?

The battery life typically lasts between 2 to 5 years, depending on usage and battery type. Replacement should be done by a qualified watchmaker to ensure the watch's integrity and water resistance.

Are the diamonds on the dial genuine?

Yes, the dial is adorned with 12 genuine diamonds, adding a luxurious touch to the timepiece.

Can the strap be easily adjusted?

The bracelet typically has adjustable links that can be modified by a jeweler or watchmaker to achieve a perfect fit on the wrist.

Troubleshooting

Watch has stopped or is losing time.

The battery may be depleted and requires replacement. Consult a qualified watchmaker for battery replacement. If the issue persists after battery change, the movement may require servicing.

Crown is difficult to turn or pull out.

Ensure there is no debris around the crown. If it persists, do not force it. It may require professional cleaning and lubrication of the winding stem.

Scratches on the sapphire crystal.

Sapphire crystal is highly scratch-resistant, but not scratch-proof. Deep scratches may require professional polishing or replacement by a watchmaker.

PVD coating appears faded or discolored.

This can occur with prolonged exposure to chemicals or abrasion. Avoid harsh chemicals and abrasive materials. Professional re-coating might be an option, but it's often not cost-effective.

Pros and Cons

Pros

Elegant and luxurious design suitable for formal and casual wear.
High-quality materials including ceramic and PVD-coated stainless steel.
Enhanced accuracy and shock resistance due to advanced quartz movement.
The 12 diamond markers add a touch of opulence.
Comfortable fit due to the bracelet's construction.

Cons

The 30mm dial size may be too small for users preferring larger watches.
Rose gold-colored PVD coating may require careful maintenance to preserve its finish.
High-tech ceramic links, while durable, can be brittle if subjected to sharp impacts.
Quartz movement, while accurate, may not appeal to traditional mechanical watch enthusiasts.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

This is a quartz watch, and the time is typically set by pulling out the crown to its first or second position (depending on the specific mechanism) and turning it to adjust the hour and minute hands. Ensure the crown is pushed back in fully to maintain water resistance.

Compatibility:

As a timepiece, its primary function is timekeeping. The watch is designed as a standalone accessory.

Care:

Cleaning: Clean the watch regularly with a soft, dry, or slightly damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials. For the ceramic and metal parts, a soft brush can be used to clean crevices. Use a specialized cloth for polishing.
Water Resistance: While rated for 50m, this is generally considered splash and rain resistant. Avoid prolonged submersion, swimming, or diving. Ensure the crown is always pushed in to maintain water resistance. The water resistance may decrease over time due to gasket wear; professional checking is recommended periodically.
PVD Coating: To preserve the PVD coating, avoid contact with abrasive surfaces, perfumes, and lotions, as these can degrade the finish over time.
Storage: Store the watch in its original box or a soft pouch when not in use to prevent scratches.
