RADO DiaStar Original Automatic (38mm) Gold Dial / Gold PVD Stainless Steel Bracelet

Breathing new life into a bold classic style, Rado has revived the DiaStar collection. The line is inspired by the first DiaStar watches. Although inspired by history Rado has still managed to integrate modern technology and techniques into the watches’ design. The DiaStar is a rightfully created iconic timepiece which fans of the brand adore. 

The Six Core Features of a Rado Watch: 

• Rado’s design features high-tech materials that will stand the test of time. Swiss watch brand Rado is famous for the use of revolutionary materials to create some of the world’s most stylish and durable watches. The brand philosophy “if we can imagine it, we can make it” still holds true today. 
• Rado has won numerous prestigious design awards and is regarded as the most progressive design player in watchmaking today. Specialising in high-tech ceramic watches, Rado is considered the Master of Materials. 
• Rado watches feature a pioneering process to create plasma high-tech ceramic. Gases activated at 20,000℃ transform the ceramic into a unique material with an otherworldly shine. 
• Rado watches use cutting-edge nanotechnology, the Rado dream became a reality with the unveiling of the Rado V10K watch. With its uniquely resistant high-tech diamond surface, the Rado V10K achieves a hardness of 10,000 Vickers. 
• Rado, in 1962, created the iconic DiaStar 1, a scratch-resistant watch at a time when this was far from the norm. The secret behind this creation? Hardmetal. Still used by Rado, it is a robust material - far more durable than steel and capable of withstanding the stresses of everyday life. 
• Rado timepieces only use fine white Top Wesselton diamonds. Rado only buys diamonds that meet the requirements of the Kimberly Process, which prevents the use of blood diamonds.
