--- Introduction --- Rado pioneered the use of high-tech ceramics in fine watchmaking, and this DiaStar is a pure expression of that philosophy. The rectangular case and integrated bracelet are executed entirely in polished grey high-tech ceramic, a material that resists scratching almost indefinitely and gives the watch a cool, dense presence on the wrist. Inside the ceramic frame sits a warm champagne dial with fine vertical striping, gold-tone baton markers and a date aperture at six. The case back is stamped SCRATCHPROOF and WATERSEALED. --- Specifications --- Brand: Rado Series: DiaStar High-Tech Ceramics Reference: 152.0332.3 Movement: Swiss quartz with date Case Material: Grey high-tech ceramic Crystal: Sapphire glass Dial: Champagne dial with fine vertical striping, gold-tone baton markers, gold-tone inner frame and date window at 6, signed RADO / SWISS 025 Case Back: Screwed case back engraved RADO, DIASTAR, SWISS, 152.0332.3, HIGH-TECH CERAMICS, SCRATCHPROOF, WATERSEALED, serial 39607024 / 01179736 Bracelet: Integrated grey high-tech ceramic bracelet with folding clasp signed RADO HIGH-TECH CERAMICS Period: 1990-1999 Country of Origin: Switzerland --- Condition Report --- Overall: Very good - only minor signs of wear.
