FAQs

What type of movement does the Captain Cook Heartbeat watch use?

The product description does not specify the movement type, but Rado's Captain Cook collection typically features automatic movements. For precise details, consult the product's official specifications or an authorized dealer.

How do I care for the leather strap?

Keep the leather strap dry. If it gets wet, pat it dry immediately with a soft cloth and let it air dry away from heat. Periodically, use a specialized leather conditioner to maintain its quality.

Is this watch suitable for diving?

The watch is water-resistant up to 10 bar (100 metres), making it suitable for swimming and snorkeling. However, it is not rated for professional deep-sea diving.

What does the 'Heartbeat' in the name refer to?

The 'Heartbeat' refers to the unique shape of the seconds hand, which is designed in the form of Marina Hoermanseder's signature heartbeat logo.

Can I switch between the bracelet and the leather strap easily?

Yes, the watch comes with two straps, and they can typically be changed using a standard spring bar tool, allowing for easy customization.

What is the case made of?

The case is made of stainless steel with a yellow-gold-coloured PVD coating.

Where are the rainbow stones located?

The eight rainbow stones are inlaid on the white dial of the watch.

Troubleshooting

Watch has stopped working

Ensure the watch is wound if it is an automatic movement. If it is battery-powered, the battery may need replacement. Consult an authorized service center for mechanical issues.

Strap feels uncomfortable or is difficult to fasten

Ensure the correct strap is being used for the desired fit. Check if the buckle is properly aligned and secured. For the leather strap, ensure it is not overtightened on the wrist.

Scratches on the bracelet

Minor scuffs on the stainless steel bracelet can often be buffed out by a professional watchmaker. Avoid abrasive materials during cleaning.

Rainbow stones appear dull

Gently clean the dial with a soft, dry microfiber cloth. Avoid touching the stones directly with fingers, as oils can affect their sparkle.

Pros

  • Unique and eye-catching design with a signature heartbeat seconds hand.
  • High-quality materials including high-tech ceramic and PVD yellow gold.
  • Versatile with two included straps for different occasions.
  • Water-resistant for everyday practicality.
  • A distinctive piece resulting from a notable fashion collaboration.

Cons

  • The 37mm case size might be considered small by those accustomed to larger dive watches.
  • The fashion-forward design might not appeal to traditionalists.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The watch comes with two pre-fitted strap options. To change straps, you will typically need a spring bar tool. Gently push the spring bar inwards to release the current strap and insert the new one.

Compatibility: This is a standalone timepiece and does not require electronic compatibility with other devices.

Care Instructions:

  • Cleaning: Wipe the case and bracelet with a soft, dry cloth. For stubborn marks on the stainless steel, a slightly damp cloth can be used, followed by immediate drying. Clean the ceramic bezel and dial with a soft, dry cloth only. The leather strap should be kept dry; if it becomes wet, pat it dry with a soft cloth and allow it to air dry naturally away from direct heat. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
  • Water Resistance: While water-resistant to 100 meters, avoid exposing the watch to extreme temperatures or prolonged immersion in saltwater. Rinse with fresh water after exposure to salt or chlorine.
  • Strap Care: Condition the leather strap periodically with a leather care product to maintain its suppleness, but test in an inconspicuous area first. Avoid direct sunlight exposure for extended periods, which can fade the leather.
