Rado Tiger Dial

Rado was founded in 1917 in Lengnau, Switzerland — and yes, they're very much still alive. Today Rado sits under the Swatch Group umbrella and continues to push the boundaries of materials science in watchmaking, known globally for their hardmetal and ceramic cases. Over a century in and the brand hasn't lost a step.

Now about this dial. What you're looking at isn't a printed pattern — it's what happens when time does the work. When the black lacquer finishing on a dial starts to fade and lift, we open it up, hit it with a blast of high pressure air, and poof — the raw, brash brass substrate underneath reveals itself in full. What's left is this wild tiger-stripe texture that no factory could replicate on purpose. Nature did that. Decades did that. The result is genuinely one of a kind — warm amber and black tones swirling across the square dial like something between geology and abstract art.

The integrated ribbed bracelet is peak 80s Swiss industrial design — monolithic, architectural, and absolutely zero wasted movement. This thing wears like a piece of sculpture.

Bracelet Fit: Free size bracelet with a tool-less adjustable clasp fitting most wrists.

Shipping: All packages are shipped insured with signature confirmation. International shipping via DHL; duties and taxes are collected during checkout and are the responsibility of the buyer.

Returns: No refunds only exchanges/store credit – vintage watches are not suitable for water or rough activities. They are durable as they have survived 30+ years of life but should be treated as such.
