The Rado Over-Pole Türler is one of the iconic models produced by the brand in the late 1960s and early 1970s, combining bold design and technical prowess. Serial number 4351287 indicates the watch's production date as 1970. The Over-Pole series is a strong representative of the period when Rado moved away from classic lines towards more modern and assertive case forms.
The brushed stainless steel case features the characteristic cushion (tonneau) form of the era. This structure, with its subtle yet clear lines, ensures the watch sits firmly and balanced on the wrist. The case form clearly reflects the Swiss watch design philosophy of the early 1970s.
The blue sunburst dial, with its deep structure that changes tone depending on the light, is one of the model's most striking elements. The applied indices and block-shaped hour and minute hands offer a sporty yet refined balance. The anchor stone at the 12 o'clock position is Rado's signature from this period. The red date disc at the 3 o'clock position adds a strong character and visual dynamism to the model.
At the heart of the watch is the Swiss-made AS 1858 automatic movement. This 25-jewel movement is one of the most reliable and widely used automatic calibers of its time. Its robust construction, stable timekeeping performance, and service accessibility form the technical foundation of the Over-Pole series. The movement is in clean condition and functioning properly.
The Rado Over-Pole is a collector's item not only for its aesthetics but also for its mechanical foundation and period design language. With its blue dial, cushion case form, and robust movement, it clearly reflects the character of 1970s Swiss watchmaking.
The inscription "Türler" on the dial indicates that the watch is a special double-signed version produced for the prestigious Swiss retailer Türler Watch Co. (Zurich). The brand, which has worked with leading brands such as Patek Philippe, Rolex, Omega, and Rado throughout the 20th century, holds a respected position in the collector's world. This signature confirms that the watch is a factory-original, period-specific variant with high collector's value.
