The Rado Cape Horn is a vintage gentleman's automatic from the 1970s — a period when Rado embraced bold, angular case architecture and richly decorative dials. This example presents the characteristic cushion-shaped stainless steel case, with its broad polished bezel framing an intriguing silver dial adorned with a distinctive red ruby cabochon at 12 o'clock, rectangular applied indices, and a date window at 3 o'clock. The integrated angular bracelet, with its open-link H-form construction, exemplifies the adventurous design language of Swiss watchmaking in that decade. --- Specifications --- Brand: Rado Series: Cape Horn Reference: — Movement: Automatic Case Material: Stainless steel Crystal: Mineral glass Dial: Silver, rectangular applied indices, red ruby cabochon at 12, date at 3; signed "RADO / Cape Horn / Swiss Made" Case Back: Stainless steel snap-back with Rado seahorse and star emblem; "tested Water" seal Bracelet: Stainless steel angular open-link integrated bracelet Gender: Men's Period: 1970s Country of Origin: Switzerland --- Condition Report --- Overall: Good — honest vintage wear in keeping with its age.
