Rado Voyager Classic Day-Date

The Rado Voyager is the most wearable of Rado's 1970s automatics — Swiss made, day-date, and built around the ETA 2836 automatic calibre that Rado badged as its own. The Voyager's signature is on the dial: applied ruby jewels set at 12, 6 and 9 o'clock, a small piece of showmanship that is unmistakably Rado and completely absent from anything else at this price. This example carries the day-date version of the movement, with both windows at 3 o'clock.
