Introducing the Rado Balboa V from the 1970s .

In the 1960s and 1970s , Rado established a unique position thanks to its "material innovation."

The "Balboa" series, which was born in response to this trend, is known as a line that pursues bolder, more fashionable designs while taking advantage of the scratch resistance and texture of a hard metal case.

The Balboa V features a striking deep bronze-colored case and a dial with a vertical stripe pattern.
The angle of the light creates different shades, creating soft shadows within the gorgeous luster.
The three-dimensional bar indexes have beautifully cut surfaces, giving them a sense of depth whenever they catch the light.

The iconic Rado rotating anchor is placed at the 12 o'clock position, asserting Rado's unique individuality.
