Introducing The Rado True Thinline Leaf

In the wake of the C5 595, this is very interesting. The ceramic cased watch is only 5mm, admittedly due to the quartz movement, but look at that gorgeous dial...

The True Thinline Leaf's main talking point (aside from the ceramic case itself) is the dial, which is green mother of pearl. A leaf pattern has been printed on the underside of the dial, and thanks to the translucency of mother-of-pearl, you get a very interesting effect; as the light plays on the dial, the leaf pattern becomes visible...

...The shifting colors, combined with the touch of gold on the hands and markers (which are vapor deposited on the underside of the dial) give the watch a surprising depth, without causing it to lose its character as a very thin watch.

... and only approx. 3 x the cost of the Air ....

Maybe shows that CW could have been a bit more adventurous with their dial colours - I like the colour but not the pattern particularly.
