Description
The Rado True Square Automatic Open Heart is a unisex Swiss automatic watch built around a distinctive square case. Its blue open heart dial exposes part of the movement, which suits wearers who like a modern, design-led piece with a mechanical character.
The case measures 38 mm across and 9.7 mm thick, and is made of plasma high-tech ceramic. A sapphire crystal with anti-reflective coating protects the dial, while the Swiss automatic movement is water resistant to 50 m. The gray bracelet combines ceramic and titanium and closes with a 3-clasp closure.
The standout feature is the 80 hour power reserve, which means the watch keeps running over a long weekend without being worn. At 120 g it has a reassuring weight on the wrist, and the lug width of 20 mm makes the proportions easy to judge before you buy.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I wear the Rado True Square in the shower or pool?
The Rado True Square is rated to 50 m, which covers rain, handwashing and a quick splash. For regular showers, swimming or hot water, a diver with a higher rating suits you better, since steam and temperature changes stress the gaskets over time.
Is it tough enough for daily wear around the office?
The case and bracelet are plasma high-tech ceramic with titanium, and the dial sits under sapphire crystal, so everyday scratches are far less of a worry than on steel. It is still ceramic, so a hard knock against a corner can chip it.
How long does it run if I leave it off my wrist?
The Swiss automatic movement has an 80 hour power reserve, which usually means it keeps running for more than three days off the wrist. That is enough to get through a long weekend and still be ticking when you pick it up on Monday.
Will a 38 mm square case suit my wrist?
At 38 mm across, 9.7 mm thick and with a 20 mm lug width, it sits modestly on most wrists. The square shape can look larger than a round 38 mm watch, so check the proportions against your wrist width if yours is on the narrow side.
How does it compare with a round Swiss dress automatic?
The True Square differs through its ceramic case, titanium and ceramic bracelet and open heart dial that shows the movement. A round dress automatic is usually thinner and more traditional, so it suits formal wear better, while this one suits those wanting a modern look.
What service does an automatic like this need?
Mechanical automatics generally benefit from a service every five years or so, covering cleaning, lubrication and a water resistance test. With a 50 m rating, have the gaskets checked at that time, particularly if you wear it often in damp conditions.
Editor's take
Rado has long been the brand that treats ceramic as a design material rather than a novelty, and the True Square line is where that approach is most visible. This open heart version is aimed at unisex wear, with a 38 mm case that stays modest on most wrists and a blue dial that adds color without shouting. The Swiss automatic movement is the point of the open dial.
The technical story is the 80 hour power reserve, which is generous for a watch of this kind and means it will not stop overnight on the dresser. The case is plasma high-tech ceramic, which resists scratches far better than steel, and the dial is covered by sapphire crystal with anti-reflective coating. The bracelet pairs ceramic with titanium, keeping weight at 120 g.
The main trade-off is 50 m water resistance. That covers rain and handwashing, but it is not a watch for swimming or any serious water use, and a diver or sports watch is the better choice there. The square shape and 9.7 mm thickness also sit differently under a tight cuff than a round dress watch would.
This suits someone who wants a design-led automatic that is tough against daily scratches and likes seeing the movement work. If you prefer a more conventional round case at a similar price, look at Swiss dress automatics, though few will match the ceramic build or the open heart dial.
