He was the earliest to cross the Antarctic Circle, and on the opposite end of the world, charted the majority of the North American northwest coastline, determined the extent of Alaska, and closed the gaps in Russian (from the west) and Spanish (from the south) exploration of the northern limits of the Pacific. He achieved the first recorded European contact with both the eastern coastline of Australia and the Hawaiian Islands as well as being the first to sail around New Zealand.

Water-resistance is not guaranteed so please do not use it near water.Captain James Cook (1728-1779) was one of the most prolific explorers, cartographers, and navigators the world has ever known. The watch comes without the original box, but a gift box will accompany the watch. The bracelet has been replaced with a regular leather bracelet/buckle and will fit a wrist of about 7” or 17.5cm approximately. The model number is 636.4002.4 and the serial number is 33473996. The watch is powered by an automatic movement with 17 jewels and keeps good time. The crown bears the logo and is gold plated. It’s worth mentioning that the calendar can be in both English and Spanish. The dial is a gold colour, with gold/black markers, date/day at 3 o’ clock, and the iconic ‘hanging’ anchor below the noon position, all under an acrylic crystal. The stainless steel case is in great shape, the steel back screws in and exhibits the ‘Rado’ logo. It’s a good size, suitable for today’s man, measuring 36mm in diameter and 42mm from lug to lug. This great example of the classic 1980s Voyager came out in many different styles over the years, but this was definitely one of the more popular ones. Rado is a well known Swiss brand worldwide, and although a relatively young, its craftsmanship is impeccable.
