Product Description A striking vintage RADO Balboa automatic wristwatch featuring a distinctive faceted stainless steel case, warm bronze sunburst dial, and a brand-new black leather strap. The Balboa is one of RADO’s most recognizable vintage designs, characterized by its bold geometric case and futuristic styling inspired by the 1970s. The rich bronze sunburst dial shifts beautifully under different lighting conditions, while the applied baton hour markers and matching hands create a refined and highly legible display. The red RADO anchor logo and framed date window complete the iconic vintage aesthetic. The watch is powered by a reliable automatic movement, requiring no battery. A brand-new aftermarket black leather strap has been fitted, giving the watch a fresh appearance while preserving its vintage character. Additionally, the original RADO stainless steel bracelet is included. Please note that the original bracelet is missing its clasp (buckle) and cannot currently be worn without replacement. The automatic movement is currently functioning correctly. Please carefully examine all photographs for the watch’s condition. ⸻ Condition Details * Automatic movement is functioning correctly * RADO automatic movement * Bronze sunburst dial * Distinctive faceted stainless steel case * Date display * Brand-new aftermarket black leather strap * Original RADO stainless steel bracelet included * Original bracelet is missing the clasp (buckle) * Stainless steel case * Minor scratches and signs of wear consistent with age * Vintage condition ⸻ Measurements * Case width: approximately 36.0 mm (excluding crown) ⸻ Estimated Year * Circa 1970s ⸻ Accessories * Original RADO stainless steel bracelet (clasp missing) * Spring bars * Spring bar tool ⸻ Service History This watch has been fully inspected and confirmed to be in working order.
