DiaStar Original Skeleton
AUTUMN COLOURS REVEAL A GOLDEN HEARTBEAT
Inspired by the colours of autumn, the latest DiaStar Original Skeleton models reimagine Rado's iconic 1962 design with a contemporary, sporty character. Matching rubber straps and annular dials contribute to the harmonious aesthetic, while the EasyClip system ensures effortless versatility. At the heart of each watch beats the automatic Rado calibre R808, a yellow-gold-coloured skeletonised movement offering an 80-hour power reserve and enhanced accuracy through five-position regulation. Its openworked architecture reveals the beauty of mechanical watchmaking, complemented by a luminous rotating anchor that appears to float above the movement. Framed by a lightweight and durable radially brushed Ceramos™ bezel in a distinctive yellow gold colour or, for the first time, a warm rose gold colour, these striking timepieces bring innovative materials, visible mechanics and distinctive style to every occasion.
A TIMELESS ICON REIMAGINED FOR THE CONTEMPORARY WATCH ENTHOUSIAST
Since its debut in 1962, the DiaStar Original has embodied Rado's pioneering spirit and relentless pursuit of innovation. Today, the unmistakable icon continues its evolution with two DiaStar Original Skeleton models in autumn tones, combining advanced materials, contemporary styling and the fascination of visible mechanics.
Designed for modern lifestyles, these latest interpretations introduce a sportier aesthetic through highperformance rubber straps whose colours perfectly match the annular dial. The result is a harmonious and contemporary look that remains true to the DiaStar Original identity while seamlessly balancing sportiness and sophistication. Equipped with the practical EasyClip system, the straps can be changed quickly and effortlessly, enhancing both versatility and everyday comfort.
The beauty of a visible movement
At the heart of each watch beats the automatic Rado calibre R808, a three-hand skeletonised movement fully coated in yellow-gold colour. Its openworked construction reveals the intricate mechanics beneath the square faceted sapphire crystal, transforming technical precision into a living spectacle and creating a direct emotional connection between wearer and watch. Thanks to the skeletonised architecture, bridges and moving components become part of the design itself, allowing the wearer to experience the beating heart of the watch at every glance.
Engineered for reliability and precision, the calibre delivers an impressive power reserve of up to 80 hours. Being regulated in five positions, it exceeds standard testing requirements, ensuring enhanced accuracy throughout daily wear. Visible from multiple angles, the movement showcases the craftsmanship behind every component while creating a constantly changing visual experience.
A signature Rado symbol, the rotating anchor adds another layer of intrigue. Cleverly positioned above a black or brown background that appears to float over the movement, it creates a striking sense of depth within the dial. In low-light conditions, the hands and indexes glow, and the anchor itself illuminates as well, adding an unexpected visual dimension that further emphasises the unmistakable character of the DiaStar Original Skeleton.
Distinctive design meets advanced materials
The iconic shape of the DiaStar Original is defined by its radially brushed Ceramos™ bezel, a remarkable material that combines the hardness of high-tech ceramic with a radiant, almost magical metallic shine. Lightweight, comfortable and exceptionally durable, it is a perfect expression of Rado's renowned expertise as the Master of Materials.
The two DiaStar Original Skeleton models each bring their own personality to this signature feature. One is presented with a yellow gold-coloured PVD-coated Ceramos™ bezel, whose warm, luminous finish echoes the golden tones of the skeletonised movement beneath. The second introduces a first for the collection: a rose gold-coloured PVD-coated Ceramos™ bezel, offering a fresh and sophisticated interpretation of the emblematic design. Together, these contrasting metallic finishes add depth and character while preserving the bold identity that has defined the DiaStar Original for more than six decades.
With their seasonal colour palette, the DiaStar Original Skeleton models allow every wearer to find the expression that best suits their own unique style, while offering the versatility to transition effortlessly from everyday moments to special occasions.
