Vintage 70s Rado Conway 30 Automatic Day-Date Champagne Dial Cushion 37mm Watch

About this watch

A striking 1970s Rado Conway 30. The champagne sunburst dial carries Rado's red rotating anchor beneath the 12 o'clock marker, applied baton markers, baton hands and a day-date window at 3 o'clock (the day wheel is in Spanish).

The 37mm stainless-steel cushion case has a screw-down caseback with Rado's seahorse emblem and reference 625.3094.4, and is paired with a wide integrated-style steel bracelet. Crown, caseback and buckle are original to the watch.

Brand heritage

Rado traces its roots to Schlup & Co., a movement workshop founded in Lengnau, Switzerland, in 1917 by the Schlup brothers. Watches under the Rado name followed in the 1950s, and in 1962 the brand launched the DiaStar, the first scratch-resistant watch, which made hard materials its signature. Rado automatics of the 1960s and 1970s are recognised by the small anchor symbol on the dial that turns as the watch moves, a sign that the automatic movement is in good order.
