Product Description

The DiaStar Original Skeleton features another variant of the high-quality R808 automatic calibre, anthracite-grey coated and complemented by various elements in its workings, for a lovely visual dance of contrasts. Thanks to sapphire crystal windows on both front and back, the automatic movement can be appreciated in full technical elegance, providing 80 hours of power reserve. An anti-magnetic Nivachron™ hairspring ensures that everything stays extremely precise and reliable, in a movement that has been tested in a full five positions. Its open structure, and the impressive R808 skeleton movement give a lighter, airier note to the new DiaStar Original, a perfect design counterpoint inside the visual frame created by the polished yellow gold coloured Ceramos™ bezel. The darker tone is further set off by floating yellow gold coloured indexes and hands with white Super-LumiNova®, for great readability even in low-light conditions.

Brand History

Rado, founded in 1917 in Lengnau, Switzerland, began as the Schlup & Co. clockwork factory. The brand launched its first collection of watches in 1957 under the name Rado. Renowned for its pioneering use of materials, Rado introduced the DiaStar in 1962, the world’s first scratch-resistant watch. The company continues to innovate with high-tech ceramics, sapphire crystal, and plasma treatments. Known for its sleek, modern designs, Rado has earned the nickname “The Master of Materials.” Today, it’s celebrated globally for its fusion of cutting-edge technology and timeless elegance.
