Εισαγωγή

Αυτός ο δημοπρασιακός πλειστηριασμός presents a fine example of the Rado Daymaster 999 (Ref. 11778), a classic Swiss-made timepiece from the 1960s. Known for its distinct design and high-quality automatic movements, the Daymaster series remains a favorite among vintage Swiss watch collectors. This model features the iconic charcoal sunburst dial and the signature rotating anchor logo at the 12 o'clock position, which was designed to move when the automatic rotor is engaged.

Ιστορικό / Εποχή

During the 1960s, Rado established itself as a pioneer in utilizing unique materials and waterproof designs. The Daymaster 999 was part of their prestige lineup, emphasizing both mechanical precision and a futuristic aesthetic. The "Water Sealed" case back with the sea-horse emblem signifies Rado’s historical focus on case integrity and durability. This era represents the peak of mid-century Swiss horology before the quartz crisis, where robust mechanical complications like the day-date function were highly prized indicators of craftsmanship.
