Description
The Rado Florence Open Heart is a unisex dress watch for those who prefer a refined, understated look on the wrist. It pairs a white embossed dial with a brown leather strap for a classic, easy to wear appearance.
The 39mm stainless steel case has a brushed and polished finish and is topped with a curved sapphire crystal. Inside is a Swiss automatic movement, and the case is rated water resistant to 5 bar, or 50 m, which covers splashes and everyday handwashing.
The standout detail is the 80 hour power reserve, paired with an antimagnetic Nivachron hairspring. That means the watch keeps running over a weekend off the wrist and is better protected against everyday magnetic fields. A rose gold coloured PVD coated pin buckle completes the strap.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I wear the Florence Open Heart in the shower or pool?
Not recommended. The Rado Florence Open Heart is rated to 5 bar (50 m), which covers splashes, rain and handwashing. Hot water, steam and swimming are best avoided, and a leather strap would also suffer from regular soaking.
How long does it run if I leave it off my wrist?
The automatic movement in the Rado Florence Open Heart has an 80 hour power reserve, so it typically keeps running for over three days. That is enough to leave it on a nightstand over a weekend and pick it up again on Monday.
Will it fit a smaller wrist?
At 39 mm in diameter and 11 mm thick, the Rado Florence Open Heart generally sits comfortably on small to medium wrists and works on both men and women. A slim dress profile helps it slide under a shirt cuff.
What does the Nivachron hairspring change in daily use?
Nivachron is an antimagnetic alloy, so the watch is better protected against phones, laptop bags and speakers that can disturb a standard hairspring. In the Rado Florence Open Heart it helps keep timekeeping steadier during daily life.
How does this compare with a quartz dress watch?
Compared with quartz, the Rado Florence Open Heart needs no battery and offers a mechanical movement with 80 hours of reserve, but it asks for periodic service. A quartz alternative is cheaper to maintain and more accurate, but less engaging.
How often should it be serviced?
Most automatic watches, including the Rado Florence Open Heart, benefit from service roughly every five years or so, depending on use. Checking the seals when the case is open is sensible, as water resistance is limited to 50 m.
Editor's take
Rado's Florence collection is built around slim, restrained dress watches, and this Open Heart version suits anyone who wants a Swiss automatic that reads as unisex at 39 mm. The white dial with its embossed guilloche pattern and rhodium coloured applied indexes keeps things quiet and formal.
The real substance sits inside. A Swiss automatic movement with an 80 hour power reserve means the watch can sit through a weekend and still be running on Monday, and the Nivachron hairspring adds resistance to magnetic fields that a standard hairspring lacks. Above the dial sits a curved sapphire crystal, which resists scratches well in daily wear.
The trade-off is water resistance. At 5 bar (50 m), the case copes with splashes and rain but is not meant for swimming or showering, so anyone wanting a pool-ready dress watch should look elsewhere. The leather strap with its pin buckle also needs more care in wet weather than a metal bracelet would.
It makes sense for office wear, formal occasions and as a first Swiss automatic. For a similar budget, a manual-wind dress watch or a quartz Swiss dress watch offers alternatives, but few at this price pair a long power reserve with antimagnetic protection.
