After captivating us for years and winning over the nation with his stunning triumph at Wimbledon, Andy Murray now officially has the Midas touch. When it comes to picking the brands he wishes to patronise, Murray has the world in the palm of his hand, which is why it comes as no surprise to hear that he backs a personal favourite of his – watch brand Rado. While his touch is limited to making some of tennis’ most memorable moments golden, Rado has designed a special tennis-inspired watch collection to give you the opportunity to sport the same ticker that got our celebrated winner through the toughest match of his life.
We present the Rado HyperChrome, the latest stand-out fixture on centre court. Designed specifically to represent the game’s different playing surfaces, with electric blue, gleaming green and bright orange strap and dial colour variations, each model contains Super-LumiNova, Rado’s glow in the dark technology. Perfect for play, each chronograph is scratch-resistant and made from lightweight black matt high-tech ceramic, sandblasted to perfection for a winning look. While brand ambassador Murray likes his in blue, we’d opt for green. You can’t go wrong with any of these designs.
