Gallery Rado Sinatra Homage<\/p>\n

\"Gallery_Dial\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I received this watch as a gift from my father in law. It is a Gallery all ceramic watch, which is an homage to a Rado Sinatra watch.\u00a0 The entire watch is ceramic with a sapphire crystal.\u00a0 The dial of the watch is a simple black, with gold rectangular hour markers.\u00a0 The hour and minute hands are gold plated tapered stick design, and the seconds hand is a simple stick as well.\u00a0 The rectangular case limits the length of the hands.\u00a0 The case is 32.5 x 31mm.\u00a0 There is a small date window at 6 o\u2019clock, with a white date wheel.\u00a0 The crystal is thick, lightly domed sapphire and flows into the integrated bracelet of the watch.\u00a0 The dial is framed with a black bezel, there is no minute chapter ring.\u00a0 There is no luminous material.\u00a0 The dial is simply marked Gallery and Ceramic.\u00a0 Overall the dial is clean and the time is easy to read in most lighting.
\n\"Gallery_Case_Back\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The case is all ceramic, including the case back.\u00a0 The back in held in place with screws, something which is unique in my collection.\u00a0 The back is laser marked, Gallery All Ceramic, Sapphire Crystal, 3ATM water resistant, Japan Movt.\u00a0 This homage to Rado does them proud, since they used similar, scratch proof materials.\u00a0 Rado has always specialized in scratch proof watches, including using tungsten and all ceramic watches. The Japan movement indicates this watch has a Seiko or Miyota quartz movement, I will take a look when I do the first battery change and update the review then. So far, the accuracy is very good, gains about 10 seconds a month.<\/p>\n

\"Gallery_Crown\"<\/a>
\nThe crown is interesting, ceramic hexagonal shape and is easy to use. The date is quick-set when pulled to the first\u00a0 position.\u00a0 Unsigned, but I would not even know how you could sign this crown.
\n\"Gallery_Deployant\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The deployant is two button with no safety lock.\u00a0 It hides very well and is signed with Gallery.\u00a0 The entire bracelet exterior is ceramic.\u00a0 The inside has stainless steel links that hold it together.\u00a0 It was surprisingly easy to re-size and is pretty comfortable.\u00a0 A point to mention is that is has not shown any desk wear, which is typical of steel and gold watches.<\/p>\n

This is an interesting watch.\u00a0 I only have one other rectangular watch, so it is a good addition to the collection.\u00a0 The watch has a very good heft and feels well made.\u00a0 It is an homage to a classic watch, so you can\u2019t go wrong.\u00a0 It looks like an expensive bracelet when worn and still looks like brand new.<\/p>\n
