Description

The Rado Integral 40-Year Anniversary Edition marks a defining moment in the brand’s history. In 1986, the Integral became the first Rado watch to incorporate high-tech ceramic. This anniversary edition revisits its clean, linear design. The case and integrated bracelet create a continuous silhouette, defined by the contrast between black surfaces and gold-coloured stainless steel.

The rectangular case is crafted from polished stainless steel with a yellow-gold-coloured PVD coating. Measuring 28.0 × 39.8 mm, it maintains a slim profile at 7.3 mm thick. Curved sapphire crystal extends to the edges of the case, giving the front a unified appearance. Precise metallisation on the crystal highlights the Integral’s distinctive outline.

The black dial has a vertically brushed finish. Gold-coloured hands and indices stand out against it, with Super-LumiNova aiding legibility in low light. A date display at 6 o’clock complements the restrained hours-and-minutes layout.

The bracelet pairs gold-coloured PVD-coated stainless steel links with polished black high-tech ceramic centre links. The material that distinguished the Integral at its inception remains a visible part of its design. A three-fold stainless steel clasp secures the bracelet.

Rado quartz calibre R279 with PreciDrive technology powers the watch, which is water-resistant to 5 bar. The case back bears the engraving “Since 1986, Anniversary Edition”, recording the occasion behind this version. Its history finds a clear expression in the materials, proportions and construction.
