--- Introduction --- The Rado DiaStar stands as one of the most recognisable designs in Swiss watchmaking history. Introduced as the world’s first scratchproof watch, the DiaStar collection is celebrated for its distinctive oval hardmetal case that retains its lustre for decades. This example pairs the iconic scratchproof case with a deep black dial and applied luminous indices, offering a sleek, timeless presence on the wrist. Powered by a reliable Swiss quartz movement with a date complication at six o’clock, it is an elegant dress watch that carries the unmistakable DiaStar heritage. --- Specifications --- Brand: Rado Series: DiaStar Reference: 152.0341.3 Movement: Swiss quartz with date Case Material: Scratchproof hardmetal / stainless steel Crystal: Sapphire-coated scratchproof crystal Dial: Black with applied luminous indices and date aperture at 6 o’clock Case Back: Stainless steel, engraved “Scratchproof / Watersealed” Bracelet: Stainless steel Rado bracelet with signed folding clasp Period: 2000s Country of Origin: Switzerland --- Condition Report --- Overall: A handsome example in very presentable pre-owned condition, showing only honest signs of wear consistent with careful use.
