To Boldy Go Where No Watch Has Gone Before, The Rado NCCs

[Henry Krinkle]

Early version NCC 202 on three row stepped NSA. The 202 is the rarest and biggest of the NCCs. 5,000 of the steel version and 5,000 gold were made of this 41mm+ monster.

Early version, stepped three row NSA. ETA 2788, slow day/ quick date. These movements are a bother to set properly, requiring back winding to advance the date. They are quite durable however.

The shirttail relative of the NCCs, the Diastar 515 is the tungsten carbide/ sapphire crystal version of the NCC 505. Strangely this watch has a narrower bracelet than the NCC 505s.
