Rado DiaStar Original | Scratch-Proof Watch | Ceramos | R12160213

The Promise of Enduring Beauty

When Rado introduced the DiaStar in 1962, it challenged the very notion of wear and tear, proving that a watch could be both beautiful and genuinely resistant to the rigours of daily life. This modern DiaStar Original continues that promise, marrying the brand’s pioneering scratch-resistant materials with thoughtful engineering to ensure it looks as striking decades from now as it does today.

The Foundations of a Lifelong Timepiece
