Remarks
This Conway delivers a classic 1970s Rado aesthetic with a highly engaging vertical day-date layout. Its striking grey dial and reliable ETA architecture make it a charming addition to any collection of retro timepieces.

History
During the 1970s, Rado embraced bold tonneau case shapes and distinctive dial layouts, moving away from traditional round profiles. The Conway model is a prime example of this design philosophy, offering a practical yet unusual vertical day-date complication powered by the robust ETA 2789-1 caliber. It represents a fascinating era of Swiss watchmaking where visual character and mechanical dependability went hand in hand.
