Vintage 1970s Rado Golden Sabre Automatic Men's Watch – Silver Sunburst Dial, Day-Date, 37 mm Cushion Case, Integrated Bracelet, With Rado Box

The Story Behind the Brand
Rado's story began in 1917, when three brothers, Fritz, Ernst and Werner Schlup, founded Schlup & Co. in their parents' house in Lengnau, Switzerland. Forty years later, in 1957, they launched the Rado brand with the Green Horse watch. The name "Rado" means "wheel" in Esperanto. In 1962 Rado introduced the DiaStar, one of the first scratch-resistant hardmetal watches, and the Captain Cook diver, named after the famous 18th-century explorer. During the 1970s Rado's bold automatic models, like the Golden Sabre with its red anchor logo on the dial, became favourites across the Middle East and around the world.
