FAQs

How do I wind my Rado True Square automatic watch?

The watch is primarily wound through the natural motion of your wrist. If the watch has stopped, you can also manually wind it by gently turning the crown clockwise while it is in its fully closed position. Stop winding when you feel resistance.

What is the power reserve of this watch?

This watch features the Rado R763 automatic movement, offering an impressive power reserve of 80 hours. This means it can run for over three days without being worn.

Is the high-tech ceramic material durable?

Yes, Rado's high-tech ceramic is exceptionally durable and highly resistant to scratches, ensuring the watch maintains its pristine appearance over time. However, it can be brittle and may chip or crack if subjected to sharp impacts.

How should I clean my ceramic watch?

Clean your watch with a soft, damp cloth. For tougher grime, use mild soap and water, then rinse with fresh water and dry thoroughly with a lint-free cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents.

What does '5 bar' water resistance mean?

A 5 bar (50 meters) water resistance rating means the watch can withstand splashes and brief immersion in water, such as during hand washing or light rain. It is not suitable for swimming, diving, or prolonged water exposure.

Can the bracelet be resized at home?

Resizing a high-tech ceramic bracelet typically requires specialized tools and expertise to avoid damaging the links. It is highly recommended to have the bracelet professionally resized by a qualified watchmaker or a Rado authorized dealer.

What is Super-Lumi Nova®?

Super-Lumi Nova® is a luminescent material applied to the hands and indexes. It absorbs light in the presence of light and glows in the dark, ensuring readability in low-light conditions.

Troubleshooting

Watch has stopped running

The watch is an automatic. Ensure it has been wound by wearing it for at least 8-10 hours or by manually winding the crown (if applicable to the specific movement) until resistance is felt. Check the power reserve indicator if present, or allow time for it to gain power from movement.

Timekeeping is inaccurate (gaining or losing time)

Automatic watches can naturally gain or lose a few seconds per day. Significant deviations may indicate the watch needs servicing or has been exposed to strong magnetic fields. Consult a Rado authorized service center if inaccuracy persists.

Crown is difficult to operate

Ensure the crown is fully pushed in before attempting to wind or set the time. If it remains stiff, do not force it. There may be debris or a need for lubrication; seek professional assistance from a Rado service center.

Scratches on the ceramic case or bracelet

High-tech ceramic is highly scratch-resistant but not entirely immune. Minor scuffs may be buffed out by a professional watchmaker. Avoid impacts with hard surfaces.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Exceptional scratch resistance from high-tech ceramic.
  • Long 80-hour power reserve for convenience.
  • Lightweight and comfortable for all-day wear.
  • Unique and modern square design.
  • Precise Swiss automatic movement.

Cons

  • 38mm case size may be small for some preferences.
  • Ceramic, while scratch-resistant, can be brittle if subjected to sharp impacts.
  • Water resistance limited to 5 bar (50 meters), suitable for splashes but not deep immersion.
  • Automatic movement requires regular wear or winding to maintain accuracy.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

This is an automatic watch, meaning it is powered by your movement. To set the time, gently pull the crown (the small knob on the side of the watch case) outwards to the first or second position (refer to your specific Rado manual for exact crown functions). Turn the crown to set the correct time and date. Once set, push the crown back in fully.

Compatibility:

  • Bracelet Sizing: The high-tech ceramic bracelet may require professional resizing by a watchmaker to ensure a perfect fit on your wrist. Ceramic links are typically removed, not added.
  • Movement: Powered by mechanical energy from movement; no electronic compatibility is required.

Care:

  • Cleaning: Clean the watch case and bracelet with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials, as they can damage the high-tech ceramic finish.
  • Water Resistance: While water-resistant up to 5 bar (50 meters), it is recommended to avoid prolonged submersion. Rinse with fresh water after exposure to saltwater or chlorinated water.
  • Storage: When not in use, store the watch in its original box or a soft pouch to prevent scratches. For prolonged periods of non-wear, ensure the watch is fully wound and stored correctly to maintain the movement's health.
