Rado Coupole Watch
The Rado Coupole is an entry-level Swiss dress watch that introduces a more accessible option within the Rado brand, previously known for its high-end ceramic watches. With a 37.7mm polished stainless steel case and a simplistic yet attractive silvery dial, it features blue hands and polished indices that enhance its classic appeal. The design aims to provide a comfortable wearing experience, although the strap can be a bit stiff. Powered by the Rado R763 movement, a rebadged ETA C07.611, it boasts an impressive 80-hour power reserve, which is notable for dress watches. Despite its strengths as a dress watch, the Coupole lacks the distinctive characteristics that typically define Rado timepieces, making it feel less like a true representation of the brand. While it serves as a gateway for newcomers to the Swiss watch market, it does not fully embody the brand's heritage and innovation. Priced at $1,300 USD, it offers a compelling entry point into the world of Swiss watches, but alternatives within the brand may provide a more authentic experience for those seeking Rado's unique style and craftsmanship.
