Swatch Group company Rado presented its first ever split-seconds automatic chronograph.
Movement is the automatic ETA 7750 with split-seconds complication, 29 jewels, COSC-Certification as a chronometer and a 48 hour power reserve.
The case, in stainless steel, measures 41mm and has a sapphire crystal and display back. It is water resistant to 100 meters. Dials can be had in black, silver or blue.

The case, a luminous ellipse. The dial, a mysterious circle. The eye is drawn from one to the other, taking pleasure in the contrast. The gentle touch of night gives way to the smooth, frank brightness of the day that flashes from the steel links of a sinuous bracelet on the wrist. The strength and elegant simplicity of this chronograph are the source of its innovative character and authenticity. Forthright and precise, challenging and demanding, it may choose to reveal a thoughtless spontaneity. Subtle, minimal, essentially free of superfluous detail. The Rado New Original Chronograph Rattrapante. Blue. Black. Instantly beautiful.
A polished oval hard metal case and a lithe satin-finish steel bracelet give this watch its glittering, slender profile. Though its look is uncomplicated, it nevertheless houses a split-second chronograph accessed by three pushers. And each second, suspended for a moment in the passage of time, is captured by the metallic heart that beats beneath the sapphire crystal. The darkening twilight of the dial is studded with indices tipped with light; three counters measure the seconds that turn into minutes and hours, and a moving anchor in a porthole represents the oscillating mass of this automatic model. Luminous hands, a titanium clasp and a screw-down crown with crown protection are the finishing details that make all the difference.
