With its balanced 32 mm case size, it wears equally well on smaller wrists or as a refined unisex piece. The Diastar line is one of Rado’s most recognizable designs, known for durability, distinctive geometry, and long-term collectability. Comparable examples are increasingly offered at high asking prices, especially in well-preserved, original configurations.
