Two worlds, one Rado anchor

In Rado’s campaign, Katrina Kaif and Hrithik Roshan appear in contrasting environments linked by the Rado anchor on their dials. Katrina’s sculpted, light-filled setting mirrors the Centrix Diamonds on her wrist, while Hrithik’s volcanic landscape underscores the technical character of the Captain Cook High-Tech Ceramic Chronograph.

Between these scenes, the Rado anchor symbol on all Rado automatic watches stands for precision and reliability, connecting dress and sport.

Centrix Diamonds: luminous refinement

At the centre of Katrina’s story is the Centrix Diamonds, Ref. R30230922. Its polished rose-gold-coloured PVD-coated stainless steel case measures 35.0 x 38.5 x 11.1 mm and is framed by a bezel set with 60 Top Wesselton diamonds, VS–SI, totalling 0.792 carat. The brown mother-of-pearl dial carries 11 Jubilé diamonds adding 0.11 carat, with a rose-gold-coloured moving anchor symbol.

Inside, the automatic Rado calibre R763 offers three hands, a date at 6 o’clock and an 80-hour power reserve, paired with a Nivachron hairspring and testing in 3 to 5 positions. A curved sapphire crystal with anti-reflective coating on both faces, sapphire case back and 5 bar water resistance support daily wear.

The bracelet in polished rose-gold-coloured PVD-coated stainless steel with polished brown high-tech ceramic middle links is secured by a brushed stainless steel three-fold clasp.

Centrix Open Heart: an intimate view of the movement

The Centrix Open Heart, Ref. R30029942, keeps the Centrix profile in a 35.0 x 43.1 x 11.3 mm case while opening the dial to the automatic calibre R734. The movement has an 80-hour power reserve, circular grain decoration and a Nivachron hairspring, also tested beyond standard requirements.

Its dial shows a rose-gold-coloured moving anchor, printed Rado, Automatic and Jubilé logos, 12 Top Wesselton Jubilé diamonds on the dial and 86 diamonds on the bridge. Dark brown mother-of-pearl, rose-gold-coloured hands and a bracelet with brown high-tech ceramic middle links and rose-gold-coloured PVD-coated stainless steel maintain continuity with the Centrix Diamonds.

Captain Cook High-Tech Ceramic Chronograph: strength in motion

On Hrithik Roshan’s wrist, the Captain Cook High-Tech Ceramic Chronograph, Ref. R32190153, expresses the theme in a sportier form. The 43.0 x 49.8 x 16.2 mm monobloc matt black high-tech ceramic case is paired with a rose-gold-coloured PVD-coated stainless steel turning bezel, carrying a polished black high-tech ceramic insert with engraved numerals, markers and triangle filled with white Super-LumiNova.

The Rado calibre R801 automatic chronograph, with 59 hours of power reserve, drives five hands and a date at 6 o’clock. Polished rose-gold-coloured indexes and hands with white Super-LumiNova aid legibility, while the moving anchor sits on a synthetic ruby backplate beneath a box-shaped sapphire crystal.

A screw-down crown and pushers, circular-brushed black PVD-coated titanium case back with sapphire, 30 bar (300 metres) water resistance and a matt black high-tech ceramic bracelet with polished middle links and titanium three-fold clasp underline the technical character of the Captain Cook.

Why it matters

By placing Katrina Kaif and Hrithik Roshan in opposing yet connected worlds, Rado shows how its watches serve as shared points of reference rather than isolated accessories. The Centrix and Captain Cook models unite dress and sport under one philosophy of high-tech materials, Nivachron-equipped automatic calibres and the recurring anchor motif.

For collectors across the GCC, these details highlight Rado’s emphasis on durability, accuracy and design continuity, whether choosing a diamond-set ladies’ watch or a high-tech ceramic sports chronograph.
