Description
The Rado Florence Open Heart is a unisex Swiss automatic dress watch with a restrained, polished look. It suits anyone who wants a slim, understated piece for office and evening wear.
The 39 mm stainless steel case combines brushed and polished surfaces under a curved sapphire crystal. Inside sits an automatic Swiss movement with an antimagnetic Nivachron hairspring. Water resistance is rated at 5 bar, or 50 m, which covers splashes and light rain.
The standout detail is the 80 hour power reserve, which lets the watch sit unworn over a weekend and still keep running. The gray dial carries an embossed pattern with rhodium colored applied indexes, and the polished steel bracelet closes with a 3-fold clasp for a clean, secure fit.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I wear the Rado Florence Open Heart in the shower?
It is rated to 5 bar, or 50 m, which handles splashes and rain. Hot showers and swimming are best avoided, because steam and heat can stress the gaskets over time. For regular water use, a dive-oriented model is the safer pick.
Is this suitable for daily office wear?
Yes, the Florence Open Heart works well as a daily dress watch. The 39 mm case is slim enough to slide under a cuff, and the polished steel bracelet with a gray dial suits both business and evening settings.
How long does it run when I take it off?
The automatic Swiss movement has an 80 hour power reserve, so it typically keeps running for over three days after being set down. That means a Friday evening removal still leaves it ticking on Monday morning.
Will a phone or laptop affect its accuracy?
The antimagnetic Nivachron hairspring in this Rado resists everyday magnetic fields from phones, laptops and speakers. Strong industrial magnets can still cause problems, but ordinary office use is generally fine.
Will it fit my wrist, and is it unisex?
The 39 mm case with an 11 mm thickness is sized to suit a wide range of wrists, men or women. Wrist fit also depends on lug length, so trying it on is helpful if your wrist is very small.
How does it compare with a quartz dress watch?
Compared with a quartz model, this Rado is a mechanical automatic that needs periodic service rather than battery changes. Service is generally advised every several years, and you gain the 80 hour reserve and a sapphire crystal.
Editor's take
Florence is Rado's quietly elegant dress line, and the Open Heart version suits people who want a slim unisex watch that does not shout. Its 39 mm size works on a wide range of wrists, and the gray dial keeps things understated.
The key technical story is the 80 hour power reserve paired with an antimagnetic Nivachron hairspring. Together they mean the watch keeps running through a weekend off the wrist and resists everyday magnetic fields from phones and laptops. The curved sapphire crystal and stainless steel case add scratch resistance and a polished finish.
The trade-off is water resistance. At 5 bar, or 50 m, it handles splashes and rain but is not meant for swimming or showering, so a diver or sport watch is a better pick for the water. The 3-fold clasp on the polished bracelet is neat, though polished links will show fine scratches over time.
It suits anyone who wants a refined Swiss automatic for office and dinners, men or women. Alternatives in the same dress category include other Swiss automatics with date windows or leather straps if a softer look is preferred over this embossed gray dial.
