Description:

The Rado DiaStar is one of the most recognizable names in Swiss watchmaking, launched in 1962 as the world's first scratch-resistant watch. This example features the collection's signature tonneau (barrel-shaped) case with a tungsten carbide "Hardmetal" bezel, paired with a gold-toned dial finished with radial baton indexes and concentric decorative lines. The dial and hands show brownish discoloration/staining consistent with age, which is disclosed here for full transparency.

The watch is fitted with an automatic movement and a date function displayed at 3 o'clock. The tonneau case shape and hard-metal bezel remain hallmarks of the DiaStar line, reflecting Rado's early focus on scratch-resistant materials and a distinctive case silhouette that set it apart from more conventional round watches of its era.

Vintage and pre-owned watches may show signs of age and prior use.
