Rado · Family: True Square
The Rado True Square Automatic R27078172 is a 38mm watch with a black high-tech ceramic case and bracelet built via injected monobloc construction, with no steel core — the technology Rado introduced in 2011 with the True line. It runs the automatic R763 caliber with 80 hours of power reserve. It differs in material and construction philosophy from the Captain Cook already in the catalog, a steel dive watch.

Rado was founded in 1917 in Lengnau, Switzerland, and built its brand identity around materials research, with milestones such as the 1962 DiaStar, marketed as the first scratchproof watch thanks to its tungsten carbide case.
That same materials obsession led to the True line in 2011, starting with the True Thinline: Rado's first case built through injected high-tech ceramic monobloc construction, with no internal metal core, enabling thinner cases and fully ceramic integrated bracelets. The collection expanded in 2020 with the True Square variant, featuring a square case with softened corners.
The R27078172 is a True Square Automatic in black ceramic, with a monobloc case and bracelet and the automatic R763 caliber (25 jewels, 80 hours of power reserve). Unlike the Captain Cook — the other Rado reference already in Cazador's catalog, a steel dive watch with a vintage-inspired design — the True Square represents Rado's bet on ceramic as a case-and-bracelet material, not merely a bezel insert.
This is the second Rado reference we're adding to the catalog, and the first to illustrate the brand's advanced-materials line alongside its steel dive-watch line.

It means the case is built by injecting high-tech ceramic in a single piece, with no internal steel core — a technique Rado introduced in 2011 with the True line.
The Captain Cook is a steel dive watch with a vintage-inspired design; the True Square uses high-tech ceramic for both case and bracelet, with a completely different construction philosophy.
It offers 80 hours of power reserve, running at 21,600 vibrations per hour (3 Hz) with 25 jewels.
Its 5 bar (50 m) water resistance allows splashes and occasional swimming, but it is not a certified dive watch.
Since 1917, founded in Lengnau, Switzerland; the brand centers its identity on researching wear-resistant materials such as high-tech ceramic.
