Product Information

Full details

The Rado Centrix 39mm Black watch is for individuals seeking a blend of classic design with modern technical upgrades and a touch of luxury. Its key benefit lies in its refined aesthetic, precise automatic movement, and durable materials, offering a stylish and reliable timepiece. A potential caveat is its 50-meter water resistance, which is suitable for daily wear but not for extensive water activities. This watch features a sleek black dial adorned with diamond markers, a stainless steel case, and a sophisticated bracelet integrating high-tech ceramic, all powered by the R763 automatic movement.

FAQs

How do I wind my Rado Centrix automatic watch?

To manually wind your watch, ensure the crown is pushed in completely. Rotate the crown clockwise approximately 30-40 times. This will build up the power reserve, allowing the watch to start ticking and maintain accuracy.

What does the 'jubilé' logo signify?

The 'jubilé' logo on Rado watches typically indicates that the timepiece features diamond hour markers, signifying a special or celebratory edition.

Is the ceramic on the bracelet durable?

Yes, the high-tech ceramic used in the bracelet is exceptionally durable, scratch-resistant, and maintains its colour, contributing to the watch's long-term aesthetic appeal.

Can I wear this watch while swimming?

The watch has a water resistance rating of 50 meters. This is generally suitable for everyday wear and protection against splashes or rain, but it is not recommended for swimming or diving.

How often does an automatic watch need servicing?

Automatic watches typically require servicing every 3 to 5 years by a qualified watchmaker to ensure the movement remains in optimal condition and maintains its accuracy.

What is the benefit of the Nivachron™ hairspring?

The Nivachron™ hairspring is antimagnetic and offers significantly improved resistance to magnetic fields, which can disrupt the accuracy of traditional watch movements. This enhances the overall reliability and precision of the watch.

How do I set the date on my watch?

Pull the crown out to the first click (if applicable for date setting). Turn the crown to set the desired date. It's recommended to do this when the time is between 3 AM and 9 AM to avoid interfering with the automatic date change mechanism, which typically occurs around midnight.

Troubleshooting

Watch has stopped working

The watch is automatic and may have run out of power reserve. Wind the crown manually 30-40 times clockwise while in the closed position. If it still doesn't run, ensure it has been worn recently or seek professional service.

Inaccurate timekeeping

Minor variations are normal for automatic watches. If significant inaccuracy persists, check for strong magnetic field exposure or consider a service from a qualified watchmaker. The Nivachron™ hairspring helps mitigate magnetic interference.

Date is not changing correctly

Ensure you are not setting the time between 9 PM and 3 AM, as this can interfere with the date-changing mechanism. Always set the date when the time is between 3 AM and 9 AM, or by moving the hands past midnight twice.

Condensation under the crystal

This may indicate a breach in water resistance. Remove the watch from moisture immediately and have it inspected by a professional watchmaker to prevent internal damage.

Pros and Cons

Pros

Elegant and timeless design suitable for various occasions.
High-precision automatic movement with antimagnetic properties.
Durable construction using stainless steel and high-tech ceramic.
Luxurious detailing with diamond hour markers.
Impressive 80-hour power reserve for convenience.

Cons

50m water resistance is limited for water sports or deep submersion.
Automatic movement requires regular wear or winding to maintain accuracy.
Diamond markers, while elegant, are subtle and may not be as prominent as larger embellishments.
The 39.5mm case size might be considered small by those preferring larger watch faces.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

As an automatic watch, the Rado Centrix does not require batteries. To set the time, gently pull the crown outwards to the first or second position (depending on the watch's specific crown function for date setting) and turn to adjust. Ensure the crown is pushed back in fully to maintain water resistance. If the watch has stopped, you may need to wind it manually by rotating the crown clockwise about 30-40 times while in the fully closed position before setting the time and date.

Compatibility:

This watch is a standalone timepiece. Its functionality is self-contained within its mechanical movement. Compatibility primarily relates to personal style and occasion; its classic design pairs well with both formal and casual wear.

Care:

Cleaning: Clean the case and bracelet regularly with a soft, slightly damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials that could scratch the surfaces or damage the ceramic components.
Water Resistance: While rated at 50m, avoid prolonged exposure to water. The water resistance seals can degrade over time, so it's recommended to have them checked periodically, especially if the watch is frequently exposed to moisture.
Movement Care: Automatic watches benefit from regular servicing (typically every 3-5 years) by a qualified watchmaker to ensure optimal performance and longevity of the movement. Avoid exposing the watch to strong magnetic fields, as this can affect accuracy (though the Nivachron™ hairspring offers significant protection).
Storage: When not in use for extended periods, store the watch in its original box or a soft pouch to prevent scratches.
