The New "Rado HyperChrome Court Collection" Worn by the Champions



Rado has been building a deeper relationship with tennis since last season, serving as the official timekeeper for 11 tennis tournaments worldwide. This year, Rado appointed Andy Murray, ranked second in the world, as an ambassador, and also welcomed Shingo Kunieda, the undisputed world number one in wheelchair tennis, as a new Rado Friend.

At Wimbledon, Andy Murray achieved his long-held dream of winning Wimbledon, the first British man to do so in 77 years, defeating Novak Djokovic after a grueling 4-hour and 43-minute battle. Meanwhile, Shingo Kunieda, paired with Stéphane Houdet, won the men's wheelchair doubles final, securing his second title after a seven-year interval.

Both Murray and Kunieda, holding their championship trophies, wore the new "Rado HyperChrome Court Collection," distinguished by an impressive green line evoking the Wimbledon grass, sharing their joy with Rado's timepieces.

Tickets to the "Rakuten Japan Open" to be Given Away by Lottery to Purchasers



To commemorate the double victory of ambassadors Murray and Kunieda at Wimbledon, Rado will hold a fair from Wednesday, July 24th, to Tuesday, August 6th, at ten locations nationwide.

The featured new watch is the "HyperChrome UTC," the first model from Rado to incorporate UTC (Coordinated Universal Time). Equipped with a 24-hour hand to display a second time zone, it supports the endeavors of those who travel across continents for business or leisure.

During the fair, customers who purchase the "Rado HyperChrome UTC" will be entered into a lottery for a chance to win tickets to the "Rakuten Japan Open," which begins on Monday, September 30th, and for which Rado serves as the official watch.

This watch, created by Rado to support the achievements of these two remarkable athletes, is designed to enhance the lives of men who seek fulfillment both in their professional and personal lives. It is certainly worth experiencing firsthand.
