Rado DiaStar Skeleton sports a shiny Ceramos case

Показать описание

Rado’s watchmaking journey is a curious one, and it’s surprising that their achievements aren’t cause for more popularity. Between creating the first scratch-resistant watch in 1962 and the world’s hardest watch possible in 2005, their quest for blemish-free watches is simultaneously an artistic and technological endeavour. While that 1962 release was only made of tungsten carbide common in tooling, it kickstarted the genre which has led to the development of ceramics and even sapphire watch cases that are now everywhere. Among the latest developments is the Rado DiaStar Original Skeleton, blending the retro flair of the ‘60s with modern technology.

I got mine eight years ago, and it is just like a brand-new watch! It never gets rusted or scratched, which I think is pretty amazing! I always remind myself in hard times to be like Rado strong and never get rusted or scratched by bad people.

I received this watch as a wedding anniversary gift. At first, I thought it was a tad gaudy - but to make my wife happy, I wore it basically everyday to work and other places. Fast forward a month, I've gained more compliments on this watch when wearing this everyday in public than I ever have on any other watches in my 13-strong collection (Tudor, Mido, Hamilton, Certina, Tissot, Seiko, Citizen, Bulova, etc.) It astounds me how many people notice this watch because of the unique DiaStar pattern, skeletonized body, and prism crystal face that shines and reflects. It REALLY stands out. The only other watch that comes close to standing out like this is my Hamilton Ventura but I never got the kind of chatter this piece seems to bring about in non-watch hobbyists. The watch has grown on me and is now my favorite watch in my collection....yes, beating out my Tudor Black Bay 58....

Absolutely stunning. I bought one of the new Diastar Originals recently (the recent 2022 releases) and this one is seriously tempting. Love it.

This is an amazing watch . I have a diaStar from my Grandad and it’s almost 40 years old .. I really like the take on this one as it feels like a polish titanium watch and the have really done a good job with the skeleton movement as you can also see the almost everything in that watch

Late to the conversation but want Time & Tide to know how great this video is. Great production values! Really creates a sense of intrigue for this unusual piece. Makes me want it!

Recibí el mío hoy. Recuerdo hace 35 años cuando mi papá compró el suyo. Para mí, tradición. Feliz con la compra.

With a Rado on you don't really need any other accessories it's the center piece ❤

Nothing can beat rado use of materials, not even 50 times expensive watches like pattek philips

Master of Materials, a perfect innovation and technology from other brands 👍

As a rule, I don’t like Rados. I started the video sticking to my rule but, as it went on, I couldn’t help but appreciate the modernist styling. And that crystal! It definitely doesn’t look like anything else. Has to go in the “considering” pile.

And a beautifully shot piece, as always.
