What to know
Rado marks the Integral’s fortieth anniversary with a limited edition of 1,986 watches, echoing its original launch year. A vertically brushed gold-coloured dial carries five black colour-treated baguette diamonds. Black ceramic bracelet links and gold-coloured steel details continue the contrast beyond the rectangular face.
This edition uses the R279 PreciDrive quartz movement, rather than an automatic calibre. A curved sapphire crystal follows the case profile, and the steel back bears an individual limited-edition number. The new treatment belongs to the redesigned Integral collection, whose historical connection to ceramic is central to the announcement. Chronolume is adding this September release to its archive with the original source date.
