Introducing the Rado "Golden Horse" from the 1960s .
Rado has led the watch industry with its unique approach to materials and innovative designs.
One of Rado's most iconic models is the "Golden Horse."
At the time, watch cases were made of luxury materials such as gold and platinum, but Rado surprised the world by using stainless steel.
He overturned the conventional wisdom that watches were luxurious and a symbol of status by proposing a new type of watch that was casual, easy to wear, and could be used as a fashion item.
Golden Horse, released in 1957 , attracted a lot of attention and became a huge hit.
It was released in Japan the following year, in 1958 , and attracted a lot of attention, including being used as a merchandise on a popular quiz show.
The "Golden Horse" was announced as the first model in the Horse series.
A sporty, sophisticated and streamlined design based on silver.
Even today, more than 70 years after its release, its appearance has not faded, and it still has the potential to be a useful watch and fashion item.
The dial is two-tone, with a silver center and white outer periphery.
The gently domed shape of the dial is designed to give it a three-dimensional appearance.
Rado's trademark anchor logo is located at the 12 o'clock position.
The anchor logo rotates depending on the orientation of the watch, a truly unique feature that catches the eye.
The calendar at the 3 o'clock position has red lettering, which is rare on a watch.
The anchor logo and numbers are in a striking red, making it instantly recognizable as a Rado watch, and this originality is one of the Golden Horse's charms.
The back of the case is airtight with a screw-back.
It is stamped with a seahorse, which is Rado's mark for waterproof models, and is proof of its high water resistance.
Rado is a Swiss watch that pursues modern design.
The Golden Horse is a fitting watch that presents a new style of watch as a fashion item that expresses the wearer's personality.

Please be sure to read the following information after purchasing an antique watch.
When selling antique watches at RESUME, we do not immediately hand over the watch to you upon receiving your order. Instead, we ask a professional craftsman to overhaul it (hereinafter referred to as OH) and deliver it to you after the OH is completed. (This takes about 1 to 2 months.)
A professional craftsman with first-class watch repair technician qualifications will completely disassemble your watch, replace worn parts such as the internal gaskets, clean it, oil it, and perform a thorough overhaul, maintaining it to a daily accuracy of about ±1 minute.
When we deliver the machine, we will also send you our own overhaul certificate, which shows what kind of overhaul was performed, as well as photos of the machine being disassembled and maintained.
Of course, due to the nature of the product itself being a second-hand item, there is no guarantee that it will never break, but we ask for your understanding that we take this approach so that you can enjoy the original performance of the watch and use it with peace of mind in the future.
When you purchase a product, we offer a one-year warranty depending on the model. Even if the warranty period has expired, we will properly repair the product, but there will be a fee. If there is no repair shop near you, please feel free to contact us.
