--- Introduction --- A characterful Rado Mannheim from the 1970s, a period when the Swiss maker was celebrated for bold, architectural case designs. The broad cushion-shaped steel case frames a striking silver dial with alternating grey and silver vertical bands, faceted applied indices and a fine railway minute track. The signature red rotating anchor emblem sits beneath the 12 o'clock marker, with a gilt "M" and the Mannheim script above 6 o'clock. Presented on a stainless steel mesh bracelet, this is an appealing example of Rado's distinctive seventies styling. --- Specifications --- Brand: Rado Series: Mannheim Reference: Not stated on the case back (serial number 934687) Movement: Automatic (estimated) Case Material: Stainless steel, cushion-shaped case Crystal: Acrylic (estimated) Dial: Silver with grey vertical stripes, applied faceted indices, red rotating anchor emblem, date window at 3 o'clock Case Back: Stainless steel snap-on case back with serial number Bracelet: Stainless steel mesh bracelet with unsigned folding clasp Period: 1970s Country of Origin: Switzerland --- Condition Report --- Overall: Good vintage condition with visible signs of use consistent with age.
