Offered in this auction by Second Vintage

Step into the bold design language of the 1970s with this striking Rado Conway, a timepiece that perfectly captures the architectural and expressive styling of its era. Known for their fearless approach to watchmaking, Rado combined unique case shapes with distinctive dial elements to create watches that stood out on the wrist. This Conway model pairs a pronounced cushion case with a brilliant fluted bezel and the brand’s signature rotating anchor logo, offering a highly charismatic vintage wearing experience.

Dial and Hands
The dial of this Rado Conway is a masterclass in 1970s texture and depth, featuring a beautiful vertically brushed champagne surface that catches the light brilliantly. It is adorned with applied, faceted baton indices featuring black center stripes for enhanced legibility. At the twelve o'clock position sits the iconic Rado rotating anchor logo set against a vivid red background, a hallmark of the brand's automatic timepieces. The dial is further detailed with an applied Rado logo and a framed date aperture at three o'clock, which displays the date in a striking red typography. The matching baton hands carry the same black inserts as the indices. Carefully inspected, the dial remains in stunning vintage condition, appearing remarkably clean and free of significant spots, stains, or damage, with all factory printing remaining crisp and intact. 

Case and Crystal
The watch is housed in a 35mm gold-plated cushion case, crowned by a prominent and highly reflective fluted bezel that gives the watch a strong wrist presence. The top profile of the case retains its bold geometry and visual appeal. When inspecting the reverse side and the back of the lugs, the case exhibits significant and honest plating loss, revealing the base metal underneath, which is a common characteristic of heavily enjoyed gold-plated watches from this period. The watch is fitted with an acrylic crystal that provides a clear view of the dial. The stainless steel screw-down caseback is well-preserved, clearly displaying the Rado seahorse medallion, the "Water-Sealed" engraving, and the 623.7800.2 reference number. 

Movement
Powering this timepiece is a Swiss-made automatic movement, clearly marked on the rotor with the Conway name, 25 jewels, and the Rado signature. Close inspection of the base plate reveals the ETA shield and the caliber number 2779. The movement presents cleanly with its brushed rotor and well-preserved components. Exhibiting remarkable accuracy and consistency, performing brilliantly for a vintage timepiece. The timegrapher results indicate a performance of -11 to -18 seconds per day.

Strap
The watch is paired with a period-correct brown leather strap featuring an embossed alligator grain pattern and a gold-tone pin buckle. The strap complements the golden tones of the dial and case perfectly and presents in excellent, lightly handled condition.

Condition
This Rado Conway is in good vintage condition overall. The primary focal point, the dial, is exceptionally well-preserved and stands out for its cleanliness and vibrant details. The front of the case and the fluted bezel maintain a handsome appearance, while the reverse side of the case and lugs show heavy brassing and plating wear consistent with decades of use. The movement is running strong and the caseback engravings remain sharp. 

Dimensions
The case measures 35 mm in width, excluding the crown. 

Remarks
This is a wonderful opportunity to acquire a character-rich vintage Rado that delivers immense mid-century charm. The combination of the fluted bezel, the textured champagne dial, and the signature rotating anchor makes it a delightful conversation piece for any vintage enthusiast who appreciates honest, historically evocative timepieces.

History
Founded in Lengnau, Switzerland, Rado initially operated as the Schlup and Co. watchmaking factory before launching its own brand in the 1950s. Rado quickly distinguished itself from traditional Swiss manufacturers by embracing avant-garde designs and pioneering the use of unconventional, highly durable materials. During the 1960s and 1970s, the brand released a plethora of distinctively named models, including the Conway, which showcased the era's fascination with bold, geometric cases and expressive dials. Today, vintage Rado timepieces are celebrated for their unique aesthetic footprint and their enduring mechanical reliability.
