Product Information

Full details

The Rado Centrix 39mm in Brown is designed for individuals seeking a blend of sophisticated aesthetics and advanced quartz movement technology. Its key benefit lies in its refined, modern design with a rose gold-colored PVD-coated stainless steel and brown high-tech ceramic bracelet, complemented by a highly accurate and shock-resistant movement. A potential caveat for some users might be the 39mm dial size, which, while classic, may feel larger or smaller depending on personal preference and wrist size.

FAQs

What is the key advantage of the Preci Drive and Heavy Drive features?

These features enhance the accuracy of the quartz movement and significantly increase its resistance to shocks, ensuring more reliable timekeeping under various conditions.

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

Clean the ceramic parts with a soft, slightly damp cloth. Dry with a separate soft cloth. Avoid abrasive materials or harsh chemicals.

Is the Rado Centrix 39mm suitable for swimming?

No, the watch has a water resistance of 50 meters, which is suitable for accidental splashes but not for activities like swimming, diving, or prolonged immersion in water.

Can I adjust the bracelet myself?

While minor adjustments might be possible with specialized tools, it is highly recommended to have the bracelet adjusted by an authorized Rado retailer or a professional watchmaker to avoid damaging the links or the PVD coating.

What is the difference between the sapphire crystal and other types of glass?

Sapphire crystal is extremely hard and scratch-resistant, making it superior to mineral glass or acrylic for maintaining clarity and preventing everyday scratches. The rounded edge on this model also enhances its aesthetic appeal and durability.

How long does the battery typically last?

The battery life for this type of quartz movement is typically around 2 to 5 years, depending on usage and battery quality. Replacement should be done by a professional.

What does PVD-coated mean for the rose gold color?

PVD (Physical Vapor Deposition) is a coating process used to apply a thin, durable layer of rose gold-colored material onto the stainless steel. It provides a metallic look and some resistance to wear, but it is a coating and can be subject to wear over time.

Troubleshooting

Watch has stopped or is losing time.

The battery may be depleted. It is recommended to have the battery replaced by an authorized Rado service center or a qualified watchmaker. If the issue persists after battery replacement, the movement may require servicing.

The crown is difficult to turn or set.

Ensure the crown is pulled out to the correct position for setting. If it still feels stiff, do not force it. Consult an authorized Rado dealer or watchmaker, as it may require lubrication or adjustment.

Scratches or discoloration on the PVD coating.

PVD coatings can show wear over time. Minor scuffs can sometimes be buffed out by professional watchmakers. For significant damage, re-coating might be an option, though it is a complex process.

Crystal is fogging up internally.

This indicates that moisture may have entered the case, compromising the water resistance. Remove the watch from any humid environment immediately and take it to an authorized service center for inspection and drying.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Exceptional accuracy and shock resistance due to Preci Drive and Heavy Drive technology.
  • Luxurious and durable construction with rose gold-colored PVD and high-tech ceramic.
  • Modern, elegant design with a seamless crystal and case integration.
  • Versatile 39mm size suitable for many wearers.
  • Enhanced readability with applied indexes and contrasting hands.

Cons

  • The 39mm size might be too large for very small wrists or too small for those preferring oversized watches.
  • While water-resistant, it is not suitable for swimming or diving.
  • High-tech ceramic requires careful handling to avoid scratches or chips.
  • PVD coating can be susceptible to wear over long periods, especially with heavy use.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The Centrix Quartz watch is powered by a battery and comes pre-set. No specific setup is required beyond setting the correct time and date. To set the time, gently pull the crown outwards to the first or second position (depending on the watch's complications) and turn until the desired time is reached. Push the crown back in fully.

Compatibility: This is a standalone analog watch and does not require compatibility with other electronic devices for its primary function. The bracelet is designed to fit most standard wrist sizes, with adjustment options available through authorized Rado retailers or watchmakers.

Care:

  • Cleaning: Wipe the watch case and crystal gently with a soft, slightly damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents, as they can damage the materials. The ceramic links are durable but should be cleaned with a soft cloth.
  • Bracelet Maintenance: For the PVD-coated stainless steel and ceramic bracelet, use a soft, dry cloth for routine cleaning. If deeper cleaning is needed, a slightly damp cloth followed by drying is recommended. Avoid harsh chemicals.
  • Water Resistance: While water-resistant to 50m, it is recommended to avoid prolonged exposure to water, steam, or high humidity. The water resistance seals should be checked periodically by a qualified watchmaker, especially after any impact or if the watch has been exposed to salt water or chemicals.
