RADO Integral Diamonds High-Tech Ceramic Square Dial Watch

The Integral collection embodies the innovative spirit of Rado. The line was the first one to be made of the brand’s now well-known high-tech ceramic material. The collection, first launched in 1986, has been recently redesigned to suit a more modern aesthetic. The new design, however, keeps true to the iconic shape and dual colour look. Simple and classic, the Rado Integral collection remains synonymous with elegance.
