Rado - Diastar Original 60-Year Anniversary Edition

To mark the 60th anniversary of the Diastar, Rado launched the the DiaStar Original 60-Year Anniversary Edition. Price €2,100. Rado Diastar Original

To mark the sixtieth anniversary of the Diastar, Rado is revisiting its iconic model with subtle but notable changes that bring innovation while maintaining the original personality.

Created in collaboration with the Swiss designer Alfredo Häberli, the DiaStar Original 60-Year Anniversary Edition comes in a monochrome ceramic and stainless steel case measuring 38 mm x 12.3 mm that frames a grey dial protected by a sapphire crystal with hexagonal facets, six like the decades since the original watch. The hands and hour markers are coloured with a touch of Super-LumiNova. 

Behind the solid caseback, the Rado R764 automatic movement (base ETA 2824) beats at a frequency of 4Hz (28,800 vibrations per hour) and offers 80 hours of power reserve.

This edition is delivered in a stylish grey pouch with a woven stainless-steel mesh “Milanese” bracelet, as well as a mottled grey textile strap: the EasyClip system makes the change quick and simple.

Water resistant up to a pressure of 10 bar (100 metres / 330 feet), the Rado Diastar Original 60-Year Anniversary Edition ref. R12163118 has a price of Euro 2,100 / US$ 1,950. 

Together with this celebrative model, Rado also presented three Diastar Original models with gray (ref. R12160103), blue (ref. R12160213) and green (ref. R12160303) dials, all of them characterised by a brushed finish in two directions. 

Matched to a sporty bracelet made of polished and brushed stainless steel, the Rado Diastar Original retails at the price of Euro 1,580 / US$ 1,450. rado.com
