The Rado caliber R763 is an automatic movement with 3 hands and a date. This Swiss made calibre is basically an ETA C07.611 with a Rado branded rotor. Rado and ETA are both owned by the Swatch Group conglomerate of watch brands.

In Rado’s own words:

“Inside, the Rado R763 automatic movement exceeds standard accuracy test requirements by a full five points and offers 80 hours of power reserve.” –Source

And also this:

“The polished stainless steel case back has a sapphire crystal that offers a clear view of the Rado R763 automatic calibre at the heart of the watch. The superb mechanical movement, with its antimagnetic Nivachron™ hairspring adjusted in five positions, offers a power reserve of 80 hours” –Rado press-release: A Sporty New Captain Cook For This Summer (May 10, 2024)
