Rado Florence (Classic) Battery Replacement

[Jiggz]

Hi there,

I have this old Rado Florence Leather Band Dress Watch that I would like to replace the battery on. I used to have this done by Watch Repair people but now it seems to be outrageously expensive. Can somebody give me instructions on how to do it. I've replaced batteries on press in back caps and screw in caps but not really sure with this one. Thank you and sure would appreciate the help. Here's a pic.

Looks like a snap back, look for the place to pry on the back.

One thing about this watch.... The whole front is the crystal and I would be very worried about cracking it when closing it up.

Thanks for the response and help. I closely looked at the silver round back and there seems to be an indentation for prying. I'll try and update. Thanks again, Anil.

Anil, 

 

Thanks. It was a snapped back and was able to pry it without any issue at all. Thanks again.

Hello, I had this watch but the battery was lost? Can you tell me the type of battery needed?

[Jiggz]

Sure can. It takes a 315 Energizer type cell battery. You can always use cross reference for different battery makers.
