True Square Automatic Open Heart || قلب مفتوح تلقائي مربع حقيقي

back to the future with a groundbreaking watch that is light years ahead of the industry.” This is how confidently Rado announces the new Rado True Square Automatic Open Heart with reference number R27086152 in March 2021, which, according to the traditional Swiss brand, will be nothing less than the manufacturer’s new style icon. Rado has distinguished itself over the past decades as a brand that likes to take unusual paths when it comes to issues of material selection and design. And that’s exactly what’s supposed to make the new True Square so special. Well, the name says it all. We already know the square design with the rounded corners from other True Square models. For the first time, however, Rado is now showing its new flagship made of high-tech ceramics with a skeletonized dial.

This fact alone certifies that the Rado True Square Automatic Open Heart is expected to be comfortable to wear. Of scratch resistance, lightness and an exciting, tactile feel. And if that weren’t enough expectation, I must confess before testing that I think the skeletonized dial looks radical, distinctive and outrageously good! 

Because there’s hardly any time to rewind a wristwatch in tomorrow’s world, the tech-savvy Rado True Square Open Heart is also equipped with a power reserve of an enduring 80 hours. So, I guess only the all-important question remains. Is the Rado True Square Open Heart really the promised watch of the future or just a fancy, experimental product about which you could say “well, this something different“…? A test should provide clarification…

The first impression

Yeah, Rado’s latest True Square as an Open Heart Skeleton version is quite stylish, you really can’t deny it. The square, dark ceramic case with the excitingly presented inner workings has a high recognition value and wears beautifully on the wrist. Some people might even recognize a certain smartwatch when they take a cursory glance. However, the Rado True Square Open Heart has enough independence. The dial with its silver- and gold-colored accents almost looks like an abstract work of art. I have never seen a skeleton watch like this before. The Open Heart also lives up to its name on the back. A circular viewing window provides a view of the enduring automatic movement. 

Just like the case, the bracelet of the True Square Open Heart is made of high-tech ceramic and fits perfectly into the design of the Open Heart.
