- Is this watch automatic or quartz?
- This Centrix configuration uses an automatic movement, so it winds from wrist motion and needs no battery. Rado also sells quartz Centrix models, which are cheaper to maintain but lack the sweeping seconds hand.
- How does the 30.5mm size compare with the 38mm Centrix?
- The 30.5mm case is the smaller women's size and wears close to the wrist. The 38mm automatic is a unisex size and looks considerably larger on most wrists.
- Does it have a date?
- This brown-dial configuration is listed without a date window. Check the specific reference if a date matters to you, since some Centrix models include one.
- Is the strap stainless steel?
- The case is stainless steel, but this version is fitted with a brown strap and a clasp. Rado also offers Centrix models on full steel bracelets.
- Do the diamonds need special care?
- No. The diamond markers are set into the dial and need only normal care. Avoid harsh chemicals and have the watch serviced periodically as with any automatic.
- Is it suitable for swimming?
- Treat it as a dress watch. Rado does not market this Centrix as a dive watch, so avoid swimming and prolonged water contact.
- Where is the Rado Centrix Automatic Watch, 30.5mm Brown cheapest?
- At Nordstrom, for $3,000.00, as of our latest check.
