Product Information

Full details

The Rado Centrix watch is designed for individuals seeking subtle sophistication and timeless elegance in a timepiece. Its key benefit lies in its refined aesthetic, blending polished stainless steel with high-tech ceramic for a distinguished look, powered by a reliable automatic movement. A potential caveat for some users may be its water resistance rating, which, while suitable for everyday wear, is not intended for deep-sea diving.

FAQs

Is this watch suitable for swimming?

Yes, with a water resistance of 50 bar (500 metres), the Rado Centrix is suitable for swimming and showering. However, it is not recommended for scuba diving or high-velocity water sports.

How long does the power reserve last?

The watch has a power reserve of 80 hours, meaning it will continue to run for approximately three days after being fully wound or last worn.

Do I need to wind an automatic watch?

Yes, automatic watches are powered by the movement of the wearer's wrist. If the watch is not worn consistently, it may need to be manually wound by turning the crown clockwise about 30-40 times to ensure it has sufficient power.

How do I clean my Rado Centrix watch?

Clean the watch with a soft, slightly damp cloth. For tougher grime, use a mild soap and water solution, rinse, and dry thoroughly. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents.

What is the benefit of the Nivachron™ hairspring?

The Nivachron™ hairspring provides significantly increased resistance to magnetism, which helps to maintain the watch's accuracy and reliability over time, especially in environments with magnetic interference.

Can I adjust the bracelet myself?

While minor adjustments might be possible for experienced individuals with the right tools, it is highly recommended to have the bracelet adjusted by a professional watchmaker or an authorized Rado dealer to prevent scratching or damage.

What does 'exceeding standard accuracy test requirements' mean?

It means the watch's movement has been tested and has demonstrated a higher level of accuracy than the industry standard for its class, typically across multiple positions, indicating superior precision.

Troubleshooting

Watch has stopped working

The watch may have run out of power reserve. Manually wind the crown clockwise approximately 30-40 times. If it still does not run, ensure it is not exposed to strong magnetic fields and contact customer support if the issue persists.

Inaccurate timekeeping

Automatic watches can be affected by temperature, position, and magnetism. Ensure the watch is fully wound. Avoid strong magnetic fields. If inaccuracy persists, it may require a service by a qualified watchmaker.

Date not changing correctly

Ensure the time is set past 4 AM when adjusting the date. Setting the date between 9 PM and 3 AM can potentially damage the movement. If the issue continues, consult the user manual or a service center.

Strap/bracelet adjustment needed

For precise sizing, it is recommended to visit a Rado authorized dealer or a professional watch repair service who have the correct tools to adjust the bracelet without causing damage.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Sophisticated and elegant design suitable for various occasions.
  • High-quality automatic movement ensures reliable timekeeping.
  • Durable construction with sapphire crystal and high-tech ceramic.
  • Generous 80-hour power reserve for convenience.
  • Good water resistance for everyday use and swimming.

Cons

  • Water resistance is not sufficient for professional diving.
  • 39.5mm case size may be too small for those preferring larger watches.
  • Automatic movement requires occasional winding or wear to maintain accuracy.
  • Black ceramic links may show micro-scratches over time with heavy use.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: As an automatic watch, the Rado Centrix typically starts running when wound or put into motion. To set the time and date, gently pull the crown outwards. The first position usually adjusts the date, and the second position adjusts the time. Ensure you follow the correct sequence for date setting to avoid damage to the movement, generally by setting the time to past 4 AM before adjusting the date.

Compatibility: This watch is a standalone mechanical timepiece and does not interface with other electronic devices.

Care:

  1. Cleaning: Clean the watch regularly with a soft, slightly damp cloth. For the bracelet and case, a mild soap solution can be used, followed by rinsing with clean water and thorough drying. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.
  2. Water Resistance: While water-resistant, it's advisable to have the seals checked periodically, especially if frequently exposed to water, to maintain optimal performance.
  3. Winding: If the watch is not worn daily, wind it manually by rotating the crown clockwise about 30-40 times when not on the wrist to ensure it's fully powered.
  4. Magnetic Fields: Keep the watch away from strong magnetic fields, as this can affect the accuracy of the automatic movement. The Nivachron™ hairspring offers enhanced resistance, but extreme exposure should still be avoided.
