Brand: Rado
Model: Garland Automatic
Movement: Automatic Caliber 2797, 25 jewels
Dial: Blue gradient with applied faceted indices and red date
Case Size: 38mm (excluding the crown)
Case Material: Stainless steel
Production Year: 1970s
Condition: Excellent vintage condition. Timegrapher: 5s+9s/day, performing remarkably well.
Dial and Hands
The striking and clean blue gradient dial is presented in well-preserved condition, showing no significant spotting or visible damage. It features applied faceted indices that catch the light beautifully, complemented by an attractive red date display positioned at three o'clock. The dial is paired with silver-tone baton hands in original condition, which display light oxidation and aging when viewed under macro inspection.
Case and Crystal
The 38mm stainless steel cushion case features an integrated design without a distinct bezel, embodying the bold geometry of its era. It displays honest wear, with moderate surface scratches and scuffs consistent with age and use, while the original brushed and polished finishes remain clearly visible. The watch is fitted with its signed Rado anchor crown, which is in good condition with defined knurling. A domed acrylic crystal protects the dial and remains clear, showing no major scratches or crazing.
Movement
Inside the case beats the automatic Caliber 2797, a 25-jewel movement featuring a clean gold-plated finish with no obvious corrosion or damage. The signed rotor remains intact, and the base plate proudly bears the "2797" and "206" markings alongside an "R" hallmark. The timegrapher records a rate of 5s+9s/day. Exhibiting remarkable accuracy and consistency, performing brilliantly for a vintage timepiece.
Strap
The watch is fitted with a black leather strap featuring white contrast stitching. The strap appears lightly used or new, handsomely complementing the vintage aesthetic of the cushion case.
Condition
Excellent vintage condition. The dial is exceptionally well-preserved and clean, while the hands show appropriate light oxidation visible under close inspection. The stainless steel cushion case displays honest wear, retaining its original brushed and polished finishes alongside moderate surface scratches and scuffs consistent with its age. The gold-plated automatic movement is visually clean and, supported by the recorded timegrapher result, is performing very strongly.
Dimensions
The case measures 38mm in diameter, excluding the crown.
Remarks
This Garland Automatic offers a striking blue gradient dial accented by a vibrant red date display. Paired with a distinctive 1970s cushion case and a remarkably strong-performing automatic movement, it represents a highly attractive vintage Rado for the discerning collector.
History

This model is powered by the automatic Caliber 2797, a 25-jewel movement recognized by its distinctive base plate markings, including the "2797" and "206" stamps alongside the "R" hallmark.
