Both of these design cues would go on to be staples in future models. Furthermore, the small rotating anchor at the top also caught the audience’s attention. Apparently, divers from the past loved this design, which contributed to the Rado Captain Cook’s iconic status. In fact, this design was used in several of Rado’s models during that time. While its specs are standard, what made this watch a looker is the inward sloping bezels. It has everything a diver would need - 220m water resistance rating, automatic movement, and a unidirectional bezel. However, the Rado Captain Cook was definitely made for diving. Nowadays, calling a watch a diver does not necessarily mean that people use them for their intended purpose. In a way, maybe this was symbolism for Rado because creating a dive watch was new to them back then. During his lifetime, he was able to sail across uncharted areas of the globe. Staying true to its theme, the Rado Captain Cook was named after the 18th Century British explorer and cartographer, Captain James Cook. In an attempt to ride the dive watch wave, Rado introduced their own contender in 1962 - the Rado Captain Cook. Of course, there’s the renowned Rolex Submariner, the Blancpain Fifty Fathoms, and even the Zodiac Super Sea Wolf. With that said, a lot of brands have their own iconic versions of the sports watch. The popularity of dive watches peaked during the ’50s and ’60s. Rado Captain Cook’s History: A Quick Look Find out below why this underdog deserves your attention.
