FAQs

What is a skeletonized dial?

A skeletonized dial is one where the metal base plate and bridges of the watch movement are cut away to reveal the intricate mechanical components beneath, offering a view of the watch's inner workings.

How long does the power reserve last?

This Rado Anatom watch features an 80-hour power reserve, meaning it can continue to run for approximately three days after being fully wound, even when not being worn.

Is the watch waterproof?

The product description does not specify water resistance. For precise water resistance ratings, please refer to the official Rado specifications for this model. It is generally advisable to avoid submerging automatic watches unless explicitly rated for it.

How do I care for the Nivachron™ hairspring?

The Nivachron™ hairspring is designed to be highly antimagnetic. While it offers protection against common magnetic fields, it's still best practice to avoid prolonged exposure to very strong magnetic sources.

What does 'regulated in five positions' mean?

This means the watch's accuracy has been tested and adjusted in five different orientations (e.g., dial up, dial down, crown up, etc.) to ensure optimal performance across various positions the watch might be in when worn.

Can I change the bracelet myself?

While possible, changing the integrated bracelet on watches like the Anatom requires specific tools and expertise to avoid damaging the case or bracelet. It is recommended to have this done by a qualified watchmaker.

Troubleshooting

Watch has stopped working

Ensure the watch has been wound. Manually wind the crown 30-40 times clockwise. If the issue persists, the watch may require servicing.

Inaccurate timekeeping

Automatic watches can be affected by magnetism or require a full power reserve. Ensure the watch is fully wound and has been worn regularly. Avoid strong magnetic fields. If consistently inaccurate, it may need regulation by a watchmaker.

Crown is difficult to operate

Ensure the crown is fully unscrewed before attempting to wind or set the time. If still stiff, do not force it; consult a watch professional as debris or internal issues may be present.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Exceptional comfort due to the anatomically shaped case.
  • Intricate skeletonized dial provides a fascinating view of the automatic movement.
  • Impressive 80-hour power reserve for convenience.
  • High accuracy and reliability with antimagnetic Nivachron™ hairspring.
  • Unique and distinctive design that stands out.

Cons

  • The 32mm dial size may be considered small by some users accustomed to larger watches.
  • Skeletonized dials, while beautiful, can sometimes be less immediately legible for quick time checks.
  • Automatic movements require regular wear or winding to maintain accuracy.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: As an automatic watch, the Rado Anatom Skeleton requires winding to start. If the watch has stopped, gently wind the crown (turn it clockwise) approximately 30-40 times. For optimal timekeeping, wear the watch for at least 8-10 hours a day, or wind it manually if worn less frequently. Ensure the crown is pushed fully in after setting the time or winding.

Compatibility: This is a standalone mechanical timepiece and does not require connection to other devices. It is compatible with standard watch straps or bracelets of the appropriate size if customization is desired, though it comes integrated with its signature bracelet.

Care:

  • Clean the watch regularly with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.
  • The sapphire crystal is scratch-resistant but not impervious to damage. Avoid strong impacts.
  • To maintain water resistance (if applicable, check specific model rating), ensure the crown is always fully secured. Professional servicing is recommended every 3-5 years to ensure the longevity and accuracy of the automatic movement.
