History First introduced in the early 1960s, the Rado Green Horse was among the first wristwatches to feature both water-resistance and automatic winding with high jewel counts, marking Rado’s emergence as a leader in technical innovation. The Green Horse’s design—marked by its rotating anchor logo, playful seahorse motif, and bold case lines—quickly became emblematic of the brand. Today, original examples in such clean, running condition are increasingly difficult to find, making this a truly special opportunity.
