Rado Conway, Ref. 625.3156.4, Cal. 3985, Men’s Automatic

The light-to-dark fumé gradient and red rotating anchor give this Rado Conway watch from 1978 its dial character. Reference 625.3156.4 combines a beige-champagne face with a polished, stepped cushion case measuring 37 mm. Automatic caliber 3985 supplies central seconds and a bilingual day-date display, while a light-brown leather strap picks up the dial's warmer tones.

Fumé gradient and rotating anchor

Vertical brushing runs through the champagne-beige dial, whose light centre shades toward a darker perimeter. Applied baton hour markers and crisp printing remain clear within the gradient. The red rotating anchor and RADO signature sit beneath 12, with Conway above 6.

The framed day-date window at 3 has a bilingual day display. Polished baton hour and minute hands echo the markers, with the minute hand meeting the track and the shorter hour hand remaining distinct. A fine central seconds hand completes the layout. Attractive dial ageing remains part of the watch's appearance.

Stepped cushion case and warm leather

The rounded stainless steel cushion case has a high-polish finish and a stepped bezel that gives the dial a defined border. Its 37 mm size and softly contoured body provide presence while keeping the profile discreet.

The clean, domed acrylic crystal introduces gentle edge distortion and can be polished as part of its care. A small, finely knurled crown at 3 allows hand setting and calendar correction, following the case's softer outline.

The light-brown leather strap complements the dial and polished head. The cushion shape and measured proportions give the dress watch a balanced fit for tailoring or less formal clothing.

Rado caliber 3985

The automatic watch uses Swiss-made caliber 3985, which is rotor wound and drives hours, minutes, central seconds and the day-date complication. Following service, winding is smooth, the calendar indexes positively and timekeeping is stable.

Rado watches from the 1970s combined soft-edged case geometry with practical calendar displays. The Conway's cushion body, baton furniture and day-date arrangement bring those period choices together in this example.

The watch is used and carefully preserved, with crisp dial print, attractive gradient tonality, clean acrylic and a correctly operating calendar. Its visible watch components are original; the light-brown strap's provenance is unspecified. It is fully serviced and fully operational, with a 12-month warranty. Worldwide shipping is available.
