The 2nd most interesting dial in the world?

Most overlooked dress watch out there IMO - and it's size, just manufique!! And def looks best on beads of rice. Not sure why the red dial doesn't come with that option, with a leather strap instead.

Thank you! I didn’t know the red version didn’t come with the bracelet? Bummer!

love the blue face

Thank you!

Really cool watch, I like the green one the most

Here is a 1970s 41 jewel Green Horse model

I love that color!

That is magnificent! How does it run?

Oh it's not mine, screen shot from Chrono24. It is good condition asking around US$500 - often see green horse come up for sale from Japan - and they tend to be in good condition and working order

I agree. It looks amazing.

I have seen some listings where it has one.

My only qualm is that the microadjustment is lacking. I know we often gripe about watches not having tricked out clasps, but even Teddy Baldassarre said Rado could have just drilled some holes in the sides of the clasp.

I looove vintage Golden Horses

So we have golden horse, green horse, silver horse , purple and sapphire horse.

Some additional info below on a very intriguing model from Rado .

Part of an article below written by Bruce Shawkey about Rado's History

"For the first five years, from 1957 to 1962, Rado enjoyed a modest success in South America and the Far East. It appears from historical literature provided by Rado that Luthi, in fact, developed quite a fondness for the various countries of Asia and an affinity with their culture. Photos show him being carted around Beijing on a bicycle-drawn rickshaw and so forth. That perhaps led Luthi to come up with Rado's next series of watches with the name "horse" in the model name. The horse is a sign of good luck in many Asian countries. Thus, the legendary "Horse" series of Rado watches was born. The Green Horse was first in 1958, was eventually followed by the Golden, the Silver, the Purple, and possibly others that I am missing. These early Rado "Horse" series had a pressure rating of 12 atmospheres, or 120 meters in depth. Pretty good in its day--good for shallow submersion, diving (non-tank) and most water sports. They also did not feature a conventional screw back, but rather a pressure-fitted back where notches in the back line up with notches in the case. It requires a mere quarter-turn to "unlock" these cases. This is a feature that many collectors and watch technicians do not understand and, as a result, they damage these cases by trying to twist off the back as if it were threaded."

and from another watch forum a mike184 gives additional information and perspectives on the horse range:

"Green Horse is the name of a model line, as you will already know meanwhile. ;-)And Bruce Shawkey is maybe right with his assumption that the name is based on the fact that (sea-)horses are a sign for good luck in Fareast. Also possible that it just has to do with the fact that Rado used the seahorses as symbol and brandmark for their waterresistant watches. The "seahorses-logo", first with two, later with three seahorses, was used up to the 1980s on the backs and today again on some DiaStar models.

There are Green, Siver, Gold, Purple and Sapphire Horses, these are just different model lines and haven´t anything to do with a range of quality. The Golden Horse line is more elegant, the Green Horse more sporty. The specific models have very different designs, dependant from the time(and it´s prevailing taste) they were made and have only the name common.The movements are excellent. As inhouse subsidiary of Schlup & Co, an ebauches manufacturer, Rado bought raw ebauches in parts and did the finishing, mounting and adjusting in house. In 1968, Rado became part of the ASUAG-trust, but AFAIK they went on this way for years. So you can´t compare e.g. a Rado AS movement with a "normal" AS movement, which had been delivered completely mounted to another watch company.BTW, many other informations in the Shawkey-article are just wrong. Rado exists much longer than 1957, the company was founded in 1937 and the name was already used before as a brandname.But in 1957, Schlup & Co concentrated it´s activity on the Rado brand and gave up the sister brand Exacto. The most successful Exacto models became Rados.The first Rado Green Horse originally had been an Exacto Oceanmaster."
