FAQs

Is the Rado Hyper Chrome R32502153 an automatic watch?

No, this model is powered by a precise Quartz movement, which means it runs on a battery and does not require manual winding or movement for power.

What is the water resistance rating of this watch?

The watch is water resistant up to 100 meters (10 ATM). This makes it suitable for everyday wear, showering, swimming, and snorkeling, but not for deep-sea diving.

Can I wear this watch while swimming?

Yes, with its 100-meter water resistance, you can confidently wear your Rado Hyper Chrome R32502153 while swimming or taking a shower. Always ensure the crown is fully pushed in before water exposure.

How do I adjust the time and date on the watch?

To set the time, pull the crown out to the farthest position and rotate it. To set the date, pull the crown out to the middle position and rotate it. Push the crown back in completely after adjustments.

Is the watch crystal scratch-proof?

The watch features a highly scratch-resistant sapphire crystal with double anti-reflective coating, offering excellent protection against most everyday scratches and maintaining clear visibility.

What material is the bezel made from?

The bezel of the Rado Hyper Chrome R32502153 is crafted from high-tech ceramic, known for its exceptional hardness and scratch resistance, contributing to the watch's overall durability and sleek aesthetic.

What type of battery does this watch use?

As it's a Quartz movement, it uses a standard watch battery. The exact model number for the battery should be determined by a professional watchmaker during replacement to ensure compatibility and performance.

Troubleshooting

Watch has stopped working or is losing time.

This often indicates a low or depleted battery. Take your watch to a qualified watchmaker or authorized service center for battery replacement and a water resistance check.

Date is not changing correctly at midnight.

Ensure the time is set correctly for AM/PM (e.g., if it's 1 PM, set it past 12 PM). Avoid adjusting the date between 9 PM and 3 AM, as this can interfere with the date change mechanism. If the issue persists, a service may be required.

Condensation appears under the sapphire crystal.

This suggests a breach in the watch's water resistance seals. Immediately take the watch to an authorized service center to prevent further damage from moisture.

Bracelet feels too tight or too loose.

The stainless steel and titanium bracelet is adjustable. Visit a jeweler or watchmaker to have links added or removed for a comfortable and secure fit.

Scratches appear on the black ceramic bezel.

While high-tech ceramic is highly scratch-resistant, extreme impacts can still cause damage. Minor surface marks might be difficult to remove, and significant damage would require professional bezel replacement.
