Inspired by Rado models of the 1960s, the Coupole Classic collection has a historical silhouette with a modern twist. The models are made of stainless steel with some styles including high-tech ceramic detailing. The design of the traditional wristwatch is elevated in a way representative of Rado’s core values. A straightforward design, beautiful in its simplicity.
