(Lengnau, Switzerland – 2016) The Rado HyperChrome collection, known for its casual-chic, all-occasion style, is offering up a trio of fashion-forward timepieces that look just as good on court as they do off. Crafted from beautiful hard-wearing materials, these three Rado HyperChrome models will help you effortlessly combine style and athleticism.
For him: agile and futuristic
Two limited edition automatic timepieces from the HyperChrome Ultra Light collection are ready to make their sporty debut. The deep grey version features a leather strap and sporty dial design – a combination sure to delight any gentleman with a technical, masculine aesthetic. The NATO strap version, with its index-free dial and deep grey monochrome colour palette, would be well placed on the wish list of minimalists whose tastes tend towards the clean and modern.
Both timepieces are crafted from three incredibly light materials – silicon nitride ceramic, anodized aluminum and hardened titanium – which keep their wearers agile on court with a barely-there feel on the wrist. With weights of 64 grams for the leather version and 56 grams for the NATO strap version, the HyperChrome Ultra Light is a featherweight watch for men with heavyweight style.
For her: strong and feminine
Sixty-six diamonds and an otherworldly metallic shine combine on the latest ladies’ HyperChrome Diamonds for a look that radiates both strength and femininity. This quintessentially feminine timepiece is crafted from plasma high-tech ceramic, which gives off a metallic glow without containing any metal at all. The unique silvery shine of plasma ceramic is complemented by rose gold-coloured elements and a diamond-studded Roman numeral dial.
Powered by an automatic movement, the HyperChrome Diamonds is light, scratch resistant, hypoallergenic and incredibly comfortable to wear whether swinging a racket or sporting an evening bag. Stylish and versatile, it is the ideal timepiece to complement both athleticism and glamour.
