I have the 42mm Oris diver 65 black dial on a rubber strap and it's fantastic. I believe if you plan on going into water a rubber strap is the way to go. Also I may look into purchasing the bracelet to swap out since changing straps seems to be pretty simple.
Ceramic bezel, thinner, cheaper, better water resistance. I own neither but it seems like the Rado is a clear winner here if you like the styling of both equally!
Having owned both at different times, imo, Rado is just better engineered overall with an exception of micro adjustments on the clasp. If I had the money to keep both, I would but if I have to choose one, I'd go with Captain Cook and this is coming from an Oris fan
This is good info. For me, the Rado CC is a bit like the Seiko Sumo: highly unique case design. Still I would probably go for the Oris, but it's a toss up.
The RADO with the oyster bracelet has micro adjustments plus it’s rated to 300 meters. It’s cheaper than the lower spec watch with the beads of rice bracelet rated at 200 meters.
Oris Divers 65 all day long. More prominent domed crystal, thinner bezel, wears closer to classic case size and narrower crown, which all speaks the vintage language, at least to me. Nice job on the review Teddy.
I would go for the Rado! But now I’m looking for the Mido Ocean Star GMT, I wrote to you about this watch and Gabe responded that soon you will be a Mido AD so I’m waiting for you to get it from your store. Nice video, keep the good work my friend!
So more of these please! You were born for this! I have an aquis but I still pick Rado here and mostly because your vid shows how it pops so nicely. Thanks!
I was into the oris but in person for some reason it didn't click with me. Rado on the other hand when I saw it in person it was even better than I anticipated. I feel there's more care for details, the domed dial, the sloping bezel all these thing intrigued me. Also I think due to the design oris felt big and Rado didn't feel 42mm at all. Both great but I chose captain cook.
I looked at both. Ended up with the Captain Cook and so happy I did. The watch is amazing! Bezel on the Oris felt cheap and flimsy. Otherwise I liked it too. The silver dial version of the Oris is beautiful. But the back is just engraved. Had a hard time with that too. Rado was just a better watch for me. Great job Teddy!
I'd Like to add that most people will only use these watches for swimming and maybe a bit of snorkelling, so unless you are doing Serious Scuba diving on a regular basis, I think the water resistance on both watches is not an issue. I've worn my Oris in the ocean swimming many times, and it still works fine.
Dive watches back in the day were only 100m and people went deep with them just fine. I always get hung up with, its only 100m! But I dont even have a diving certification lol. I am snorkeling and jumping off docs, 50m is probably fine for me lol.
Two interesting watches for sure. My favorite is by far the Rado. I like more the beads of rice bracelet, the ceramic bezel and most important the power reserve of its movement.
I've never had the Captain Cook on wrist, but i did see it in a Jewellers window and it looked fantastic from that point of view. It actually really surprised me how much I liked it. I may one day try it on to make a true decision on a Rado. Also I already own an Oris Aquis, that's why I would lean towards the Rado.

I have both the exact same Rado in green and the original Oris Carl Brashear. You are absolutely right saying they are probably the best choices for this style at this price range. I love them both equaly for different reasons. Nothing more to add you cover everything. Great job as always!
Hey Teddy. Both watches are awesome, but definitely the Rado is a more complete diver watch. The size I think is perfect for the purpose, lug to lug makes it more wearable for different type of wrists, ceramic bezel, etc. Only thing I don’t like about captain Cook is the 21 mm bracelet width. Would love to see it on a 20 to make it more versatile.
Hey Teddy... Great work as usual. Superb information density and so well articulated. As a late blooming 58 year old enthusiast here in Alberta, Canada, working my way up the horological food chain, I had a close look at these two pieces not long ago. I agree that a person could not go far wrong with either of these. Nevertheless, I ended up choosing the Tag Heuer Autavia, blue on stainless steel. It was a few dollars more, but I’m very pleased. I still want the Captain Cook though. I think it really pops, especially in green. I wonder if you might feature some Breitling product in the near-ish future. I would consume your thoughts voraciously. Thanks, and keep on rocking.
Certina does a retro diver with the same caliber as the 2k Rado. It also has sapphire, 200m, ceramic bezel. It has an open back, too and a richer history. At half the price.
Great review Teddy. I just bought a pre-owned Oris 65 from Bob's Watches, so thanks for connecting me with them. Now I'm mulling over the Rado in ss or bronze, but I like the beads of rice bracelet, so I'll probably go with the ss. Will definitely purchase from your online shop.
Teddy Baldassare should be the next ambassador for Rado watches, as a vlogger/model, I really think it suits your style. Anyone who agrees please hit the LIKE button. 👍
What are your views on the tudor black bay chrono? Willing to buy the skeleton capt cook rado hitech ceramic as well as a watch with a chrono. Found tudor really good. Oris didn’t appeal much.
It’s interesting to read through the comments and also follow Teddy’s comments about water resistance. Actually no one seams to understand that’s the water-pressure which is setting the limits.... meaning, if you jump into a swimming pool with either of those and hit the water with your arms in a strange angle, slamming the watch onto the surface - there is a certain likelihood of water getting into it already, even if your are swimming in a pool being just about 3 meters deep..... just physics....
Love the aesthetic of the diver 65, but the Caption Cook's movement is just a no brainer. And also Captain Cook's design is different compared to modern divers, more personalities.
Both are good watches but if I had to put my money on one, I'd go with the Rado due to the value you get. One thing that Teddy kind of glossed over in this video is how much more scratch resistance you'll get on the Rado. It's just a better quality watch that will look good for an entire lifetime for the same price. Not to take away from the Oris, it's still a great looking watch.
I enjoy the vintage style of these watches however I decided to save the extra money and purchased the Tudor black bay 58. I'm very pleased with my choice and believe it was the right option for me.
Both so beautiful! I’m looking to purchase a Swiss made $500-$2000 mens watch . I have done so much research there are so many brands to choose from but I need a bit of help because I am new to this .. should I go with Hamilton , Oris, rado, tissot, longines, tag huer , Tudor , mido ,etc Needs some help lol
Have the Captain Cook in Bronze. Great watch but after having it for Eight months I have to say the steel is the better option you can play around with more straps and bracelets.
Have never personally owned a bronze watch but am wearing a Tudor black bag bronze as I type this comment to you. Starting to come around to them more but I think your concerns are valid. Thanks for sharing the experience Robert!
Actually my debate was between the Rado Captain Cook and the Longines Legend Diver, however on that comparison the winner was the Rado, now that you bring Oris to the table, I still prefer the Rado, I hope to buy it soon
Personally, I would prefer a higher beat movement over a higher power reserve but if that would be my priority I would probably go for a Seiko with a 6R15 instead, still decent 50h pr but easier to regulate.
Love the 'Captain Cook'. But, The Lug Width of 21mm, and more so, the lack of Micro Adjustments, (Grrrrrrr !) is a real disappointment. Have I mentioned, just how beautiful the Captain Cook, is ??? ( damn it !)
Hey Teddy, love the content. So much talk about case size and wearability but I am faced with abnormally sized wrists. needing something 50-55mm lug to lug. Anything in this same demographic that would be a good option?
Just bought the green Rado can't wait for it to arrive got it for $1200 from someone who bought it at Macy's in may of 2023.They wanted something else .Watch comes with all paper and warranty as well as all box and other papers can't wait too get it by this Wednesday ,its been a long time coming. I own 30 or so watches my favorite is my Tudor Black bay 58 burgundy with the smiley face and Tudor Rose ETA 2824 and I think it will be highly collectable, its not going anywhere. Mint all papers cards and box love this watch but can't wait for the Captain Cook in Green.Nice job on your review. I may buy an Oris in the future but for money the Rado is Richer and more bang for your buck Regards Franklin Adams Hallock
The overall look of the Captain Cook is so much more unique than the 65… I would say neither of these scream “take me diving”, so not having any lume on the bezel of the Captain is not an issue.
I own the green rado on the bor bracelet. It's a stunning watch, the steel is so bright . I purchased a rado leather strap to make it more casual for everyday wear. The quick release pins are great on all their straps .on the leather the rado is extremely light, you would think it's a quartz, But it's so comfy. I love mine. As for the oris , I think if it's a great design , and a good all rounder really. Side by side though, the rado really pops.
Hi Teddy, I wanted to order the new Tissot PRX Blue dial on your site, however it looks like you don't ship to Mexico. Is it coming to your list anytime soon? Also, I am interested in the automatic version of this model. I know they will launch it during the last quartile of 2021, however do you have an estimate price tag for that one?
I just bought the green dial Rado this last weekend and must say love this piece. I do wish it had the microadjustments on the bracelet but for the money the Rado is best bang for the buck IMHO.
Oh "Producer Michael" look how much money I have got, I'll buy some watches (probably amongst all sorts of other expensive consumer items he aquires) and then look a total dick as I'm clueless about watches (see his choices). The very worst type of watch collector!!
Love this! I have a Rado Black Ceramic watch that's given to me by my dad 13 years ago 😊👍 After watching this, I believe the Rado Captain Cook will be my next watch though I recently got myself a Rolex Black Submariner 😊 Probably next comparison will be Omega Seamaster and the new Zenith Chronograph watch. 👍
I went with the Green dialed 300m Rado. I considered the Green dialed Aquis, as well as a Green dialed Mido Multifort TV Big Date. Obviously I was in the market for a Green dialed watch. The Rado just looks superior on wrist. I know people bicker about the lack of micro-adjust on the bracelet but unless it's tool-less it looks cheap. I have a 7.25" wrist and didn't have an issue at all fitting the watch. And so you know I prefer a snug fit. There's a reason so many dress watches come with a tool-less butterfly clasp. It looks more luxurious and premium. Rado obviously knows that considering a large amount of their catalog are considered dress pieces.
Very interesting comparison. I've always had a soft spot for the Captain Cook. However, I wasnt aware that it contains zero micro-adjustment. My Mido Multifort doesnt either but it's a buttery clasp and has half links, so that is fine as it gives you some adjustment. The Rado doesnt have a butterfly clasp, so why would they not include any, even if they just half assed it and drilled two holes for us, it would help. Getting a perfect fit isnt always easy especially with a bracelet.
I never understand arguing water resistance numbers. It's unnecessary since there would only be a handful of actual divers in the world that would ever go to such depths and they wouldn't taking these sorts of watches any way. So for us normal folk 100m, 200m or 300m is more than enough.
About time a HQ vid on this particular Oris 65 variant- it’s the one I want! Might hold off and see if they put the new cal 400 in the regular production divers 65, that would make it a really tough decision if they also put it in their Aquis in 41.5mm..
Rado is the clear choice for me. I have experienced both watches. You get more for your money with the captain cook. Ceramic bezel, more than double the power reserve of the Oris at 80hrs, bracelet needs no tools to change it and is very easy, double box sapphire crystal which makes a huge difference to visibility under water as opposed to the huge dome of the Oris. The Rado does wear smaller than what a 42mm would suggest, however the watch definitely looks like a 42mm and has more wrist presence than the Oris.
Yeah but... 21mm strap width, no micro adjust, that's going to be super aggravating to fit and/or find an aftermarket solution. Also: 3hz movement. I get that a lot of manufacturers are "realizing" that they can nearly double the reserve by slowing the beat rate but (to me, at least) that higher beat rate is part of what makes the higher quality movement. There's so much I want to love about the CC but those are some real polarizing design decisions.
Make the Oris Divers 65 in 39mm and add the 401cal and you have a winner. Had the 40mm one but sold it as it felt too wide for my taste. Keep in mind that this is not a rugged watch by design so wearing it under the shirt sleeve is a must imho.
If you go to 101M with the Oris just remember to hold your arm up.
And when you reach 201m with the Rado...you know what to do!🤣
Good one 😂
I have the 42mm Oris diver 65 black dial on a rubber strap and it's fantastic. I believe if you plan on going into water a rubber strap is the way to go. Also I may look into purchasing the bracelet to swap out since changing straps seems to be pretty simple.
My money with go to the Rado, personally. I think that concaved bezel just looks so unique.
@Jaxx Braylen Good for you.
@Jaxx Braylen yeah we dont give a shit

Ceramic bezel, thinner, cheaper, better water resistance. I own neither but it seems like the Rado is a clear winner here if you like the styling of both equally!
Went with the green dial Rado, couldn't be happier. Stunning in person.
But you see the space between "a" and in hahah it's capta in
I’ve really been wanting one lately.

This is good info. For me, the Rado CC is a bit like the Seiko Sumo: highly unique case design. Still I would probably go for the Oris, but it's a toss up.
I would go for the Oris, totally love it. The Rado looks too funky to me. The Oris is quite classy.
The RADO with the oyster bracelet has micro adjustments plus it’s rated to 300 meters. It’s cheaper than the lower spec watch with the beads of rice bracelet rated at 200 meters.
What exactly does the lack of micro-adjustments mean for the Rado? If I get a Rado with the beads of rice bracelet is it not possible to resize it?
Rado definitely seems like a better option. Looks unique and that 80hr power reserve sounds amazing.
Interesting idea, would love to see more versus episodes in the future.
He did one for the Seiko DressKX and Orient Maestro, and it was also excellent!
The Rado is just a flat out beauty!
Mvmt: We cut out the middle man
Teddy Baldassaree: I am the middle man
And that is also BS. Macy’s sells mvmt so they’re full of shit

Oris Divers 65 all day long. More prominent domed crystal, thinner bezel, wears closer to classic case size and narrower crown, which all speaks the vintage language, at least to me. Nice job on the review Teddy.
Could always go with the smaller Rado Captain Cook
Teddy, I wish you had the capability to mark favorites. And again, you are soooo good at this.
Thank you, Eric! You’re too kind!
Still in love and love my Oris Divers 65 36mm in deep blue dial. I like the aesthetics more than the Rado.
I would go for the Rado! But now I’m looking for the Mido Ocean Star GMT, I wrote to you about this watch and Gabe responded that soon you will be a Mido AD so I’m waiting for you to get it from your store. Nice video, keep the good work my friend!
In England I couldn't get hold of the Mido
I have the Oris, So comfortable on the wrist.
So more of these please! You were born for this! I have an aquis but I still pick Rado here and mostly because your vid shows how it pops so nicely. Thanks!
I'm half Swiss and half Australian. I would have to go with the Rado.
Wow, the Rado has all kinds of style. Very cool retro styling.
Captain Cook 37mm all the way!!! Gorgeous, full of soul, and virtually indistinguishable from the original. A beautiful, sublime recreation.
That Oris 65 is such a beauty. I prefer the green dialed one without the date.
I was into the oris but in person for some reason it didn't click with me. Rado on the other hand when I saw it in person it was even better than I anticipated. I feel there's more care for details, the domed dial, the sloping bezel all these thing intrigued me.

For me, the micro-adjustment is a must for a SS bracelet.
It is very useful. I think it is one of the nicest features to have on a metal bracelet
I can't wear my old Seamaster due to lack of micro adjustment. Why such basic feature is missing from a 2k usd watch is pure non sense.
Two interesting watches for sure. My favorite is by far the Rado. I like more the beads of rice bracelet, the ceramic bezel and most important the power reserve of its movement.

I prefer the Rado, though the lack of micro adjustments is disappointing. What were they thinking?
Their rice bean bracelet segments are small enough to be able to adjust it reasonably well.
people bashing 100M ''DIVE watch'' literally never dive more deep than 7M !!! love the Oris, the rivet bracelet is a win for me !!!
100m does NOT mean it can go 100mtr deep !

The Rado Captain Cook is Bauhaus to me. Very simple and beautiful. It's the winner.
Great video Teddy. Would you consider the Certina DS PH 200M? It’s retro ish but about half the price of these (which I love). Is it half the watch ?
The Oris would look a lot better with the Rado beads of rice bracelet on it 😀
Both so beautiful!

Teddy!! Should I get Captain Cook or save a bit more for preowned Omega Seamaster (Planet Ocean 2500)?
like someone said in a forum, buy them both and be happy!
Ok, so if I had the money, I'd buy Rado. I find the bezel amazing and, come on, the anchor is just fun!
Captain Cook for me, it's just beautiful.
Have the Captain Cook in Bronze. Great watch but after having it for Eight months I have to say the steel is the better option you can play around with more straps and bracelets.

A Tudor "Black Bag" Teddy? Not come across that one yet, lol!
They are both great sport/ everyday type watches but the Rado can also be worn as a dress dress watch,it is very elegant.
Exactly the reason I chose the Captain Cook. The fact it can be worn as a dress type watch, and of course that gorgeous beads of rice bracelet.
If only the Oris came with the Rados bracelet . Totally fed up with the same old 3 link bracelet that’s on everything
Hey I just saw these in Producer Michael's budget watch round up!

I know what you are saying, but the Seiko 6 series movements are not of the same quality as those in the Oris and Rado.
Beautiful timepieces. I like how you compare the same price range. Love your videos
Oris pulls off that "looking out of an old submarine bubble window" look. So cool
Love the 'Captain Cook'. But, The Lug Width of 21mm, and more so, the lack of Micro Adjustments, (Grrrrrrr !) is a real disappointment. Have I mentioned, just how beautiful the Captain Cook, is ??? ( damn it !)
The oyster bracelet has micro adjustments. The watch with the oyster bracelet is rated at 300 meters.
I have the Oris Aquis Hangang, but the next one will be the Oris 65 in 42mm blue dial.
Used to be the Oris, but now that Rado is a clear winner, i think day after day I would enjoy that one more.
Hey Teddy, love the content. So much talk about case size and wearability but I am faced with abnormally sized wrists. needing something 50-55mm lug to lug. Anything in this same demographic that would be a good option?

So many choices out there but that Rado looks Unique and not too bulky.
SPB053 vs Tudor BB 58 Navy. Different price points but very similar watches. Thanks for the content!!

Hi Teddy, I wanted to order the new Tissot PRX Blue dial on your site, however it looks like you don't ship to Mexico. Is it coming to your list anytime soon? Also, I am interested in the automatic version of this model. I know they will launch it during the last quartile of 2021, however do you have an estimate price tag for that one?
Well I’m late, but I’m here. The intro was a real dose of reality
Was the $5,000 watch collection giveaway winner announced already?
Good question
Not yet!
I just bought the green dial Rado this last weekend and must say love this piece. I do wish it had the microadjustments on the bracelet but for the money the Rado is best bang for the buck IMHO.
Could you do a best below **insert price range** for specific brands? Would love to see best tissot watches under 1000 for example
Also would go with Rado. However, just can’t wrap my mind around why a 2k watch won’t have micro adjustments.
It is because of the thin clasp and bracelet. Which gives it a unique look ...The profile of this case is also very slim which is something unique...
The two watch brands Producer Michael had never heard of! This is good public service, Teddy :D

Very interesting comparison. I've always had a soft spot for the Captain Cook. However, I wasnt aware that it contains zero micro-adjustment. My Mido Multifort doesnt either but it's a buttery clasp and has half links, so that is fine as it gives you some adjustment. The Rado doesnt have a butterfly clasp, so why would they not include any, even if they just half assed it and drilled two holes for us, it would help. Getting a perfect fit isnt always easy especially with a bracelet.
I have this watch and I can tell this is an issue , I was unable to get perfect fit
That Rado is one beautiful piece.
80 hr power reserve is nice, but am I the only one who really notices the sweep smoothness (and strongly prefers the smoother sweep?)
I just bought the Oris Aquas, and seriously considering a 65, probably with the leather band
I never understand arguing water resistance numbers. It's unnecessary since there would only be a handful of actual divers in the world that would ever go to such depths and they wouldn't taking these sorts of watches any way. So for us normal folk 100m, 200m or 300m is more than enough.
About time a HQ vid on this particular Oris 65 variant- it’s the one I want! Might hold off and see if they put the new cal 400 in the regular production divers 65, that would make it a really tough decision if they also put it in their Aquis in 41.5mm..
That green Rado is sweet!
Rado Captain Cook has an enchanting design that you can't stop looking at. It's my choice.
Rado is the clear choice for me. I have experienced both watches. You get more for your money with the captain cook. Ceramic bezel, more than double the power reserve of the Oris at 80hrs, bracelet needs no tools to change it and is very easy, double box sapphire crystal which makes a huge difference to visibility under water as opposed to the huge dome of the Oris. The Rado does wear smaller than what a 42mm would suggest, however the watch definitely looks like a 42mm and has more wrist presence than the Oris.
Yeah but... 21mm strap width, no micro adjust, that's going to be super aggravating to fit and/or find an aftermarket solution. Also: 3hz movement. I get that a lot of manufacturers are "realizing" that they can nearly double the reserve by slowing the beat rate but (to me, at least) that higher beat rate is part of what makes the higher quality movement. There's so much I want to love about the CC but those are some real polarizing design decisions.
went for the green Captain Cook but in 300m one, very nice!
Oris nice , but prefer the Rado. Very disinct look. Great video
Make the Oris Divers 65 in 39mm and add the 401cal and you have a winner. Had the 40mm one but sold it as it felt too wide for my taste. Keep in mind that this is not a rugged watch by design so wearing it under the shirt sleeve is a must imho.
I'd take the blue Rado Captain Cook on the beads of rice bracelet over any Oris Sixty-Five
*killing* the turtleneck Teddy. Super fitting the retro theme.
