Description from the seller
Brand: Rado.
Model: Rado Balboa V Automatic
Movement: Automatic mechanical
Case material: Scratch-resistant hard metal with a luxurious, bright, mirror-polished gold-tone finish. The case features the distinctive, futuristic shield shape typical of Rado’s 1970s design, with thick, flowing, wraparound lines and no traditional visible lugs. The case band houses a compact, semi-recessed knurled setting crown at 3 o’clock, personalized with the brand logo. The back is protected by a sturdy screw-down stainless steel case back bearing the brand’s official engravings.
Dial color: Brown with a rich, changing sunburst finish that shifts to lighter, golden tones at the center. The asymmetrical layout, with a striking three-dimensional effect, is framed around the perimeter by prominent, applied, faceted geometric gold-tone hour markers. It features gold-tone baton-style hour and minute hands with a slim yellow insert, accompanied by a fine white sweep-seconds hand. At 12 o’clock stands the unmistakable rotating gold-tone anchor, the symbol of Rado automatic watches, set in a red disc and topped by the “RADO” logo. At 6 o’clock, the applied “BALBOA V” inscription stands out, embellished with a V-shaped logo.
Case diameter: Approx. 35 mm
Crystal: Highly durable faceted sapphire crystal, featuring longitudinal geometric cuts that create spectacular plays of light and reflections across the dial.
Strap material: Original vintage-style stainless steel link bracelet, which fits perfectly beneath the case.
Strap color: Silver-tone steel with a central row of gold-tone links, echoing the two-tone style and the color of the case.
Strap length: Approx. 17 cm.
Clasp: Partially concealed integrated clasp with folding buckle
Clasp material: Stainless steel engraved with the official Rado logo.
Supplied with a standard box, without warranty.
Shipping: Tracked and insured via DHL
Any customs duties are the buyer’s responsibility
