RADO Hexagon Quartz / c.1975, Mirror-Polished Case

A Rado quartz watch has arrived.

The guarantee card is dated Showa 50 — 1975.

A fine example with little sign of use; it was presumably sealed in its box with the guarantee for many years.

The case, like a block of steel, is mirror finished and draws its shadows most beautifully in daylight.

Time has passed quietly, but its shine is unchanged.

That the battery had been removed in advance for long storage shows that, although it left human hands long ago, it was once looked after properly.

It is ready to begin marking new time.

A good watch for tasting the appeal of vintage lightly.
