Vintage 70s Rado Conway 30 Automatic Day Date 625.3067.4 37mm Cushion Watch

About this watch

The Conway 30 is a fine example of Rado's 1970s design language. This one, reference 625.3067.4, has a substantial 37mm cushion-shaped stainless steel case with vertical brushed finishing, a champagne sunburst dial with bold faceted applied indices, a day-date window at 3 o'clock and the red applied Rado anchor at 12.

It is powered by a 25-jewel Swiss automatic movement with a Rado-signed rotor, comes on its Rado-signed integrated stainless steel bracelet, and is supplied with a Rado box. The screw-down caseback carries the Rado seahorse emblem.

Brand heritage

Rado grew out of Schlup & Co., a movement workshop founded in Lengnau, Switzerland, in 1917, and began selling watches under the Rado name in the 1950s. Its trademark is the small anchor on the dial, which on automatic models is mounted so that it can swing freely.

Rado became known as the "Master of Materials" after launching the DiaStar in 1962, promoted as the world's first scratch-resistant watch thanks to its hardmetal (tungsten carbide) case and sapphire crystal. Through the 1960s and 1970s its bold automatic watches were especially popular across the Middle East and Asia.
