Like the rest of the line, this insert features a striking bowl-like inward slope in images, but the brand opts to fill this space with an engraved world time scale. While previous diver-style iterations have always used a unidirectional bezel, here the brand replaces this with a bidirectional design featuring a glossy black ceramic insert. It’s this bezel where Rado allows the Captain Cook Over-Pole to stand apart from its stablemates, however.

Like the standard Captain Cook, the Over-Pole’s case design follows a classic skin diver-style layout in images, with tapering attached lugs, slim vertical case sides, a bold unguarded pillbox crown, and a broad coin edge bezel extending past the edge of the main case. The new limited edition Rado Captain Cook Over-Pole brings a warm new jet-setting character to the Captain Cook line, with a compelling blend of early ‘60s design sensibilities and cutting-edge production quality.Īt a compact 37mm-wide, the stainless steel case of the Rado Captain Cook Over-Pole should offer a suitably vintage profile on the wrist. For its latest release, the brand channels the Jet Age charm of the rarely-seen vintage Captain Cook world timer variant into a new model that captures the spirit of the original while refining its execution with thoughtful modern touches. Over the years, the series has grown to encompass a wide array of contemporary reimaginings of the original Captain Cook design, but the line tends to find its greatest success among enthusiasts when it remains faithful to its uniquely charismatic early ‘60s roots.
Since its reintroduction to the brand’s catalog in 2017, the Rado Captain Cook series has grown to become a true dark horse contender in the hotly contested field of vintage-inspired dive watches.
