FAQs

What is the inspiration behind the Florence Classic collection?

The collection is inspired by the harmonious cityscape of domes and towers of Florence, Italy, reflecting a subtle Tuscan influence in its romantic design.

How accurate is the quartz movement in this watch?

Swiss quartz movements are known for their high accuracy, typically deviating only a few seconds per month.

Are the diamond indexes real diamonds?

Yes, the watch features four full-cut diamonds set as indexes at the 3, 6, 9, and 12 o'clock positions.

What does 'Jubilé logo' refer to?

The Jubilé logo signifies models that feature diamond hour markers, celebrating the collection's premium and distinguished status.

Is the Rado Florence Classic suitable for swimming?

The watch typically has a degree of water resistance suitable for daily wear, such as hand washing or rain, but it is not designed for swimming or diving. Always check the specific water resistance rating for your model.

How do I adjust the watch bracelet?

Bracelet adjustment is best performed by a professional jeweler who has the correct tools to resize it without damaging the links or clasp.

What is the material of the watch crystal?

The watch features an innovative Rado edge-to-edge metallised sapphire crystal, which is highly durable and scratch-resistant.

Troubleshooting

Watch has stopped or is running slow.

The battery may be depleted and require replacement by a qualified watchmaker. Ensure the crown is fully pushed in.

Date is not changing correctly.

Ensure the time is being set between 1 AM and midnight. Avoid changing the date between 9 PM and 3 AM, as this can damage the movement. Consult the user manual for specific instructions.

Scratches on the crystal.

While the sapphire crystal is highly scratch-resistant, deep scratches may require professional polishing or replacement by an authorized service center.

Condensation under the crystal.

This indicates a potential breach in water resistance. Remove the watch from moisture immediately and have it inspected by a qualified watchmaker.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

This watch features a quartz movement and typically requires only the setting of the time and date. The crown is used for this purpose. Pull the crown out to the first position to set the date and to the second position to set the time. Ensure you push the crown back in fully to maintain water resistance.

Compatibility:

As a standalone timepiece, compatibility is not a concern. It is designed to be worn on the wrist. The clasp mechanism is generally adjustable by a qualified jeweler if a perfect fit is not achieved out-of-the-box.

Care:

Cleaning: Gently wipe the watch case and bracelet with a soft, slightly damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials, which can damage the finish.
Crystal: The metallised sapphire crystal is highly scratch-resistant, but avoid sharp impacts. Clean with a soft microfiber cloth.
Water Resistance: While designed to withstand daily incidental contact with water, it is not intended for swimming or diving. Refer to the specific water resistance rating indicated for your model and avoid exposing it to high pressure.
Storage: Store the watch in its original box or a soft pouch when not in use to protect it from dust and scratches.
