Product Information
Full details
The Rado Florence 38mm is designed for professionals and watch enthusiasts who appreciate a fusion of minimalist Swiss aesthetics and high-precision quartz movement. Its key benefit is the combination of an ultra-durable edge-to-edge sapphire crystal with advanced PreciDrive and HeavyDrive technologies, ensuring the watch remains accurate to within 10 seconds per year. While it offers sophisticated styling, potential owners should note that the polished PVD finish requires careful maintenance to avoid scratches compared to brushed stainless steel models.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set the time and date, gently pull the crown out to the desired position. Pulling to the first click allows you to adjust the date, while pulling to the second click adjusts the hours and minutes. Push the crown fully back to ensure water resistance is maintained. To preserve the finish, avoid contact with harsh chemicals or abrasive surfaces. Regularly clean the watch using a soft, lint-free cloth to remove perspiration and skin oils, which can cause tarnishing over time. For the bracelet, a soft brush with mild soapy water can be used to remove debris from between the links, followed by a thorough drying with a microfiber cloth.
