[Rado](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/true-square-thinline-les-couleurs-le-corbusier) has had an illustrious history of crafting durable watches and the brand has now decided to implement this durability in a new openworked dial watch. Known as the True Openheart Automatic, this stunning timepiece comes in three different ceramic colors: black, brown and a metallic expression Rado calls Plasma. The use of an openworked dial keeps the movement front and center on the watch and shows off the impressive [automatic movement](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/classivo-43) powering the timepiece.

The True Openheart maintains a fairly minimalist face, in the sense that it only displays the time. Aside from that, the face beautifully showcases the intricate movements of the watch and features a single logo indicating the watch is a Rado automatic.
