Product Information

Full details

The Rado True Secret - 40mm is designed for modern wearers seeking a blend of distinctive Rado style and Swiss-made precision. Its key benefit is the sophisticated aesthetic combined with lightweight comfort and lasting shine, highlighted by a unique dial opening revealing the automatic movement. A potential caveat for some may be the 40mm dial size, which could be larger than preferred for those with very slender wrists.

FAQs

What makes the Rado True Secret different from other Rado models?

The True Secret range is distinguished by its specific dial design that offers a glimpse of the Swiss automatic movement, a feature not present on all Rado models, combined with a redesigned aesthetic.

Does the watch need batteries?

No, this is an automatic watch. It is powered by the motion of the wearer's wrist and does not require a battery.

How do I know if the 40mm size is right for me?

A 40mm case diameter is a common and versatile size. It's recommended to try on a similar-sized watch to see how it fits on your wrist, considering your personal preference for watch size.

Is the ceramic material delicate?

Rado's high-tech ceramic is extremely hard and scratch-resistant, but like all ceramics, it can be brittle and may chip or crack if subjected to a sharp, significant impact.

What is the water resistance rating?

Specific water resistance details should be confirmed with the official Rado documentation for this model. Generally, Rado watches are suitable for everyday wear, but extreme water activities should be avoided unless explicitly stated otherwise.

How often does the automatic movement need servicing?

Automatic watch movements typically require servicing every 3 to 5 years to maintain their accuracy and ensure the longevity of the internal components.

Troubleshooting

Watch has stopped running

Manually wind the crown 30-40 times. If the issue persists, ensure the watch is exposed to regular movement throughout the day, or consult an authorized service center.

Inaccurate timekeeping

Minor deviations are normal for automatic watches. Significant or consistent inaccuracy may require a service. Ensure the watch is not exposed to strong magnetic fields.

Stiff crown or winding mechanism

Do not force the crown. This could indicate debris or a mechanical issue. Contact an authorized Rado service center for inspection and repair.

Scratches on the ceramic

High-tech ceramic is highly scratch-resistant, but deep impacts can cause chips or cracks. Minor surface marks are rare. For any damage, consult an authorized service center.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Exceptional scratch resistance and long-lasting shine due to high-tech ceramic.
  • Lightweight and comfortable for extended wear.
  • Visually appealing with a visible Swiss automatic movement.
  • Modern, sophisticated design suitable for various occasions.
  • Reliable Swiss engineering and craftsmanship.

Cons

  • The 40mm size may be too large for individuals with very small wrists.
  • Ceramic, while scratch-resistant, can be brittle and may chip or crack if subjected to strong impacts.
  • Automatic movements require occasional servicing to maintain optimal performance.
  • Lack of specific water resistance depth mentioned for extreme water activities.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

As a self-winding automatic watch, the Rado True Secret - 40mm does not require traditional setup beyond winding. To start the watch if it has stopped:

  1. Gently turn the crown clockwise several times (approximately 30-40 turns) while it is in its closed position.
  2. Once running, wearing the watch will allow the automatic rotor to wind the movement through your natural wrist motion.

Compatibility:

This is a standalone timepiece and does not have electronic compatibility requirements.

Care:

  • Cleaning: Wipe the watch case and bracelet regularly with a soft, dry, or slightly damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals, soaps, or abrasive cleaners, especially on the ceramic surfaces.
  • Water Resistance: While designed for everyday use, avoid prolonged immersion in water or exposure to high-pressure water jets. Refer to Rado's official specifications for precise water resistance ratings and recommended activities.
  • Storage: Store the watch in its original box or a soft pouch to prevent scratches when not in use.
  • Servicing: Automatic watches benefit from periodic servicing (typically every 3-5 years) by a qualified watchmaker to ensure continued accuracy and longevity of the movement.
