Your one-minute primer to the Rado HyperChrome 1616.

Inspired by the Cape Horn collection from the late-1960s, the HyperChrome 1616 looks old-school cool. A rounded boxy case frames its blue dial with heavy-set hands and indexes, as the watch’s nostalgic vibes are augmented by a brown vintage leather strap. However, its 46mm x 45.5mm dimensions reveal that it’s a modern creation. Crafted in hardened grade 5 titanium that scores 1,000 on the Vickers hardness scale (five times more than steel), one can be sure that it could take more than a licking. Limited to 1,616 pieces, it is equipped with an automatic movement boasting an 80-hour power reserve.
