In praise of Tungsten Carbide - 22 years on...
I have been wearing this RADO in rotation, on and off, for 22 years. I have not been careful with it, but It hasn't been treated as a beater either. At my desk today, the mirror polish of the clasp was still blinding. On most of our watches, this part of ...
Hello Ted
I think IT IS ceramic! Rado knows very well how to work ceramics and many of its watches are ceramic but with a metallic tone, like tungsten. Best regards. René
Yes, I thought the same last time Sire, but I was told by the owner
It is Tungsten Carbide
No Sir... It is not ceramic. RADO has and does make ceramic, but not in this reference.

Lovely, I can’t believe something would be super shiny as that
After 22 years... Okay, AP!!! 15202 in Tungsten Carbide!!! And Black ceramic!!! Now, please!!! Okay okay, I am sorry, I am calm now, please do get the message to AP.
I'm with you Ted... I love my RO dearly. I just wish it was not as finish-fragile.

I always loved these
And it's easy to see why! Please post a photo of the full watch, too. Best, Tim
Tungsten Carbide is amazing in that respect.
It also has a darkness to it, which I really like.
Hi Emil... Very nice! It looks new.
I have an Anatom Jubile similar to that as well. A great, thin comfortable watch. And oh yes... T-C is very heavy.
