A material match between Swiss watchmaking and the modern European game.
European Cricket and its Official Timing Partner, Rado, the Swiss watchmaker renowned as the “Master of Materials”, are proud to unveil the Captain Cook × European Cricket Special Edition, a timepiece designed specifically to celebrate the partnership and the shared values of precision, performance and sporting excellence.
Built on the Captain Cook’s renowned sporting pedigree, the special edition combines Rado’s expertise in innovative materials and Swiss watchmaking with playful design details inspired by cricket.
Look closely and the game is woven throughout the watch.
Three golden dots on the dial represent cricket stumps, while subtle red accents pay tribute to the sport’s iconic red leather ball. Even the minute track becomes part of the story, with detailing inspired by the distinctive stitching found on a cricket ball.
The blue dial and high-tech ceramic bezel connect the timepiece to the visual identity of European Cricket, bringing the two brands together in a design that feels unmistakably at home both on and beyond the boundary.
Built for Performance
The cricket-inspired details are matched by the performance and Swiss craftsmanship expected from Rado.
Robust hands featuring Super-LumiNova® inserts provide effortless readability across different conditions, while a scratch-resistant high-tech ceramic bezel insert and anti-reflective chevé-box shape sapphire crystal combine durability with clarity.
At its heart is the Rado calibre R763 automatic movement, delivering an impressive 80-hour power reserve and the reliability required from a modern performance timepiece.
The special edition is also supplied with three strap options, allowing the Captain Cook to transition from rugged and sporting to stylish or formal. Rado’s EasyClip System makes switching between them possible in seconds.
It is a combination of form, function and versatility that Rado and European Cricket describe as a true “material match.”
Celebrating European Cricket
The Captain Cook × European Cricket Special Edition timepiece represents another milestone in the partnership between Rado and European Cricket.
Across the continent, European Cricket Network (ECN) provides players, clubs, national federations and communities with a stage on which to compete, develop and tell their stories to a global audience.
Rado’s partnership supports that journey while connecting one of Switzerland’s most recognised watchmakers with a modern, diverse and rapidly developing European sporting community.
The new Rado Captain Cook brings that relationship to life in physical form. From the cricket-inspired details of the dial to its performance-focused materials and movement, it is a timepiece designed around the game and the partnership behind it.
Swiss precision meets cricket spirit. A Material Match.
