Why We Love This Watch

Classifying this from the Rado Seahorses collection. During the 70’-80’s era, Rado produced so many varieties of entry level automatic watches. The Seahorse family include the Green, Purple, Silver, and Golden. In our opinion, Rado some of the coolest names for their watches. Who wouldn’t want to say “I’m wearing the Purple Horse today, what’s on your wrist?”
