Rado Watches: What’s New?
DiaStar Watches
RADO DiaStar Original Automatic (38mm) Gold Dial / Gold PVD Stainless Steel Bracelet R12161643
If you thought the DiaStar Original couldn’t get any more unique, you’ve thought wrong! This watch exhibits eleven light blue cubic zirconia on a rhodium-coloured harmonic pattern on a diamond powder decoration. The dial also features rhodium-coloured hands with white Super-LumiNova, a white day display and a black date display. Measuring 38mm in diameter, a yellow gold-coloured PVD-coated stainless steel case frames the dial and an ultra-shiny yellow gold-coloured Ceramos™ coiffe with polished angles and details is set over the case. A vertical faceted sapphire crystal, with an anti-reflective coating, protects the dial. Not only does this crystal ensure great clarity but also durability. A yellow gold PVD-coated stainless steel bracelet, with both polished and brushed finishes, secures the watch on the wrist.
Powered by a Rado R764 automatic movement, with an 80-hour power reserve, an anti-magnetic Nivachron™ balance spring, and up to 100 metres of water resistance, this new Rado is more than suitable for everyday wear. Vibrant and versatile, it is sure to make a statement on the wrist.
RADO DiaStar Original Open Heart (35mm) Black Dial / Stainless Steel Bracelet R12063103
Incorporating the bold and ageless appeal of the first DiaStar, the Original bears the features and functions Rado enthusiasts know and the distinctive look they love. The vertical faceted sapphire crystal shows the black open heart dial with six cubic zirconia stones. In addition to this, the dial features rhodium-coloured hour, minute and second hands. Measuring 35mm in diameter, and maintaining the iconic DiaStar shape, a stainless steel case frames the dial. Through the open heart dial, the wearer gets a sneak peek of the movement that lies within. Said movement is an automatic R764 calibre with an 80-hour power reserve and a sunray guilloche pattern decoration. The wearer can also view this movement through the exhibition case back. A stainless steel bracelet concludes the design of this sleek timepiece.
Stylish and durable, this DiaStar is ready for daily wear! However, it’s important to keep in mind that it is only splash-resistant, so be careful when wearing it near water. After all, you wouldn’t want to risk damaging a watch as beautiful as this DiaStar Original Open Heart.
Florence Watches
RADO Florence Automatic (39mm) Embossed Gold Dial / Two-Tone Stainless Steel Bracelet R48903253
Rado’s Florence watches offer a timeless blend of Swiss precision and elegance, and this new addition makes no exceptions. Serving as a theatre scene, the yellow gold dial showcases extreme attention to detail with its sophisticated embossed pattern. The dial also features applied yellow gold-coloured baton indices with yellow gold-coloured hour, minute and second hands. For increased functionality, a date aperture features at the 6 o’clock position. Acting as the protective front and as a bezel, an edge-to-edge sapphire crystal protects the dial. Its metallised edge perfectly matches the yellow gold colour of the dial. Measuring 39mm in diameter, a yellow gold-coloured PVD-coated stainless steel case frames the dial. Within its case lies the soul of the Florence; the automatic R763 calibre. Finely regulated in five positions, and featuring a Nivachron™ hairspring, this movement delivers a high level of accuracy alongside a robust 80-hour power reserve.
Securing on the wrist with a bi-tone polished yellow gold-coloured PVD-coated stainless steel and brushed stainless steel bracelet, this Florence oozes luxurious flair. Perfect for timelessly elegant ladies, it has a distinct romantic aesthetic just like its namesake city.
