FAQs

How often should I service my Rado Captain Cook?

It is recommended to have your watch serviced every 5-7 years, or as needed, by a qualified watchmaker.

Can I swim or dive with my Rado Captain Cook?

Yes, the watch is water-resistant up to 300 meters, making it suitable for swimming, snorkeling, and diving. However, always ensure the crown is properly screwed in before water exposure.

How do I wind my watch?

If the watch has stopped, manually wind it by turning the crown clockwise 20-30 times. This will start the automatic movement.

How do I change the strap?

Use the Easy Clip system to quickly and easily change the straps. Simply pull the lever near the strap pins, then remove the old strap and install the new one.

What is Super-LumiNova?

Super-LumiNova is a non-radioactive, photo-luminescent pigment used to make the hands and indexes glow in the dark, ensuring excellent legibility.

Clean the bezel with a soft cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents that could damage the ceramic.
