Description
The Rado True Square Open Heart brings a strict square silhouette to the brand's ceramic tradition. It is a unisex Swiss automatic watch with a skeleton style face, aimed at wearers who want a modern, architectural look without a conventional round case.
The case is 38mm wide and 9.7mm thick, made of ceramic and fitted with a sapphire crystal. Ceramic also forms the bracelet, which closes with a foldover clasp and fits 20mm lugs. The Swiss automatic movement is wound by wrist motion, and water resistance is rated at 50 metres.
The open heart skeleton face is the main talking point, with a two tone dial that lets the movement show through. Its compact 38mm size suits a wide range of wrists, and the all ceramic build gives it a sleek, uniform appearance for daily wear.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I wear the Rado True Square Open Heart for swimming?
Its 50 m water resistance handles splashes, hand washing and rain well. For swimming or a long shower, it is safer to take it off, because heat and pressure can stress the seals. A dedicated diver suits water sport better than this Rado.
Is it suitable for daily wear at the office and on weekends?
The True Square Open Heart works well as a daily watch thanks to its scratch resistant ceramic case and bracelet. At 9.7mm thick, it slides under most cuffs. It is dressy enough for work and relaxed enough for weekends.
Will a 38mm square case fit my wrist?
A 38mm case with 20mm lugs suits small to medium wrists comfortably, and the unisex sizing works for many wearers. Square cases can look larger than round ones of the same width, so larger wrists will still find it wearable, just more compact.
How does it differ from a standard round skeleton watch?
The Rado stands out with its strict square form, ceramic case and bracelet, and sapphire crystal. Many round skeleton watches use steel, which scratches more easily. Choose a round model if you prefer a traditional shape or want more water resistance.
Does it need a battery, and how should it be serviced?
The Swiss automatic movement is powered by wrist motion, so it needs no battery. Wearing it regularly keeps it running, and a periodic service at an authorised Rado centre keeps the movement lubricated and the seals checked.
Who is this watch best suited to?
It suits anyone, men or women, who wants a compact ceramic watch with a visible movement. If you need a rugged sports watch or deep water capability, a different Rado or a dedicated diver would be a better match.
Editor's take
Rado built its reputation on ceramic, and the True Square Open Heart applies that expertise to a strictly square 38mm case. It is a unisex piece for wearers who want a distinctive shape and a visible Swiss automatic movement rather than a standard round dress watch.
The materials are the real story here. The ceramic case and matching ceramic bracelet resist scratches far better than steel, and the sapphire crystal protects the open heart skeleton face. The foldover clasp keeps the bracelet tidy and secure on the wrist.
The main trade-off is 50 m water resistance. That covers splashes and rain, but it is not suited to swimming or serious water sport, so a diver is the better pick for that. The square form and 9.7mm thickness also give it a more fashion forward profile than a classic round watch.
It suits anyone who values design and ceramic durability and enjoys watching a movement at work. For a similar budget, a round skeleton watch from another Swiss brand is the alternative if a more traditional shape matters more.
