Description from the seller
Introduction
This Rado Green Horse is a representative example of the brand’s robust and reliable automatic watches from the late 1960s to early 1970s. Featuring a stainless steel case with a distinctive cushion shape and the iconic seahorse medallion on the case back, this model reflects Rado’s commitment to durability and everyday functionality.
Historical & Collector Value
Rado established a strong international reputation through its “Horse” series, known for water-resistant construction and dependable automatic movements. The Green Horse line, identifiable by its seahorse emblem and classic dial layouts, became a popular choice for those seeking a practical yet refined Swiss timepiece.
This example, powered by an automatic movement and equipped with a day-date display, represents the era when Swiss manufacturers were focusing on robust daily-wear watches with clear legibility and solid case construction. Collectors appreciate Green Horse models for their honest tool-watch character and their place within Rado’s early mechanical heritage.
