Rado’s Captain Cook debuted with a 43mm case size for the first time, and there are four versions with two matte ceramic cases. The first (Ref. R32127152) is equipped with a black ceramic case (Zirconium Dioxide, ZrO2) and bracelet; the crown and bezel are made of hardened stainless steel, the latter with smooth black ceramic inserts. The second Captain Cook ceramic watch (Ref. R32127156) is equipped with the same case and dial, but with a rubber strap and folding clasp:

The third version (Ref. R32127162) also uses a black ceramic case and bracelet, but with a contrasting rose gold (PVD coated) stainless steel crown and bezel, and black ceramic inserts. This is followed by the fourth and most expensive model (Ref. R32128202) with a very unique plasma ceramic case and bracelet (Zirconium Carbide, ZrC), hardened stainless steel bezel and blue ceramic inserts.

All four models are available immediately, and are equipped with a slightly arched black sapphire crystal and applied hour markers.

The new Captain Cook is powered by ETA's R734 movement, with an 80-hour power reserve and Nivachron hairspring. The case is water-resistant to 300 meters and has a titanium caseback with sapphire inserts. The starting price is US$3,300 (R32127156), the retail price of R32127152 is US$3,600, the R32127162 with PVD is US$3,700, and the R32128202 with blue border plug-in is US$3,800.
