Description

The Rado HyperChrome Ultra Light A study in harmonious contrasts (Lengnau, Switzerland 2018) With the brands dedication to innovation and to pushing boundaries, the new HyperChrome Ultra Light is everything youd expect from a Rado, featuring groundbreaking materials, innovative new elements and showstopping design. Presented in two earthy tones, the bronze and brown pieces are a study in harmonious contrasts. The HyperChrome Ultra Light makes a strong visual impact an obvious heavyweight in the style stakes but, made using ultra-light high-tech ceramic, you could almost forget youre wearing it. While ultra-light high-tech ceramic (Si3N4) is half the weight of standard Rado high-tech ceramic, it is even harder and more scratch-resistant. A result of Rados dedication to innovation, ultra-light high-tech ceramic is a truly exceptional material, and ideal for those who like to travel light. Inspiration takes many forms The super modern materials and high-tech case construction contrast strongly but impressively with the dial design. Taking their inspiration from 20th Century pocket watches, the understated simplicity and unparallelled legibility of the brown sunray high-tech ceramic dials give these timepieces a classic appearance. In a continued study in contrasts, the brown version is presented on a sporty, vintage look NATO strap while the bronze edition has a brown aged leather strap. Its a perfect example of modern and traditional materials working in perfect harmony. Drawing inspiration from the past but with one eye firmly on the future, the HyperChrome Ultra Light is a timepiece that is sure to appeal for as many years as it is guaranteed to look good. About Rado Rado is a globally recognised brand, famous for innovative design and its use of revolutionary materials to create some of the worlds most durable watches. Ever since its beginnings in Lengnau, Switzerland, Rado has had a pioneering spirit, with the brand philosophy if we can imagine it, we can make it still holding true today.
