Rado DiaStar Quartz — reference 108.0120.3 — er en definerende artefakt fra 1970’ernes schweiziske urfremstilling og vidner om Rados revolutionære engagement i ridsebestandig horologi. Introduceret i 1962 som verdens første ridsefaste ur, brød DiaStar ny jord ved at inddrage urets bevægelse i ultra-hård wolframkarbid — et materiale så modstandsdygtigt, at det kun kan ridses af en diamant. Dette kvartsdrevne eksempel har den ikoniske kapselkasket formede hårdmetalkasse, hvis kantede afløb kanter fanger lyset med en karakteristisk metallisk glans, suppleret af skærens dybe anthracite-indre med sin karakteristiske graduelle prik-udskrifts ur-tavle.

The Rado DiaStar Quartz — reference 108.0120.3 — is a defining artefact of 1970s Swiss watchmaking, representing Rado's revolutionary commitment to scratch-resistant horology. Introduced in 1962 as the world's first scratchproof watch, the DiaStar broke new ground by encasing its movement in ultra-hard tungsten carbide — a material so resilient it can only be scratched by diamond. This quartz-driven example features the iconic cushion-shaped hardmetal case, its angular chamfered edges catching light with a distinctive metallic lustre, complemented by the deep anthracite dial with its characteristic graduated dot hour track. The day-date display at 3 o'clock and the understated "RADO QUARTZ DiaStar" typography complete a timepiece that remains strikingly contemporary.
