Rado - DiaStar - χωρίς τιμή ασφαλείας - 108.0120.3 - Άνδρες - 1970-1979

Το Rado DiaStar Quartz — αναφορά 108.0120.3 — αποτελεί ένα definining 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.
