Description
The Rado True Square Open Heart is a square-cased Swiss automatic watch built around a black open heart dial. It suits wearers who like a distinctive, design-led piece with a mechanical movement that can be seen working.
The case measures 38 mm across and 9.7 mm thick, with a 20 mm lug width. A sapphire crystal with anti-reflective coating covers the dial, and the Swiss automatic movement is paired with water resistance to 50 m. The bracelet combines black high-tech ceramic and titanium links, closed by a push button deployment clasp.
The open heart aperture exposes part of the movement, and the 80-hour power reserve means the watch keeps running over a weekend off the wrist. At around 120 g it feels substantial, and the dark ceramic finish makes it an easy daily wear with both casual and smarter outfits.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I wear the True Square Open Heart for a swim?
It is rated to 50 m, which covers rain, hand washing and a quick splash, but a swim or shower is best avoided. Hot water and steam can stress the seals over time. For regular pool use, a diver with a higher rating suits better than this Rado.
How long will it keep running if I take it off for a weekend?
The Swiss automatic movement has an 80-hour power reserve, so after a full wind it should run for more than three days. A watch left off from Friday evening is usually still ticking on Monday morning, without needing to be reset.
Will a 38 mm square case fit my wrist?
The case is 38 mm across and 9.7 mm thick with a 20 mm lug width, and the square shape tends to wear a little larger than a round 38 mm. It generally suits average to slightly larger wrists, and the clasp has limited fine adjustment, so check the bracelet length.
Does the ceramic bracelet scratch easily compared with steel?
The bracelet combines black high-tech ceramic and titanium, which resists everyday scratches far better than stainless steel. The sapphire crystal also has an anti-reflective coating. Ceramic can chip on a hard knock, so avoid banging it against stone or metal edges.
How does this differ from a regular round automatic?
The Rado has a square case, an open heart dial showing part of the movement, and a ceramic and titanium bracelet. A round steel automatic usually offers more water resistance and easier strap changes, so choose by whether design or sport use matters more to you.
Is it suitable for daily office use and service needs?
Yes, at 9.7 mm thick it slips under most cuffs, and the dark finish suits office wear. As a mechanical watch it generally needs servicing every five years or so, and a service centre should also check the 50 m seals during that visit.
Editor's take
Rado's True Square line is built around a case shape few brands attempt in ceramic, and the Open Heart version adds a view of the movement through the dial. It is aimed at buyers who want a design-led square watch rather than another round three-hander, and the True Square silhouette is unmistakable on the wrist.
The headline spec is the 80-hour power reserve of the Swiss automatic movement, which means the watch survives a long weekend in a drawer and is still running on Monday. The dial is covered by anti-reflective sapphire crystal, so the open heart aperture stays readable in bright light, while the high-tech ceramic and titanium bracelet resists scratches far better than steel would.
The main trade-off is 50 m of water resistance. That covers splashes and hand washing but not swimming, so anyone who wants a pool-ready watch should look at a diver instead. The open heart dial also shows only a small part of the movement, and the push button deployment clasp limits fine length adjustment compared with a pin buckle.
This suits someone who wants a distinctive dress-leaning automatic for office and evenings, and who values scratch resistance. Buyers who want a fuller skeleton view or greater water resistance could compare other skeletonised Swiss automatics and sports models at similar prices.
