About the Rado DiaStar Original Collection
History
Rado was not a very well-known brand in the world of watchmaking during the 1960s. It was in 1962, the brand gained the recognition it deserved with the launch of the Rado DiaStar Original collection. This was the first scratch-resistant watch in the world and while the watchmakers were busy complicating the mechanical aspect of a timepiece, Rado solely concentrated on the aesthetical aspect of it.
Essence
The DiaStar Original fits the bill for the bold and ageless appeal of the first DiaStar. The off-beat, oval design of the watch is a reminder of the 60s DiaStar and holds a similar sleek avant-garde approach in the collection. This clean, polished set of timepieces is particularly an eye candy for some and a piece of heritage for others.
Features
Be it the baton-shaped hands or the diamond-studded index markers, the DiaStar Original is a simple yet suave on the dial. In terms of displaying matters apart from time, the DiaStar features a day/date feature window either at 6 or 3. The DiaStar Original also features a skeleton variant displaying the robust automatic movement on the dial.

I reside in China. While on my vacation, I have purchased this time piece from Ethos showroom in Surat, Gujarat, India. Shopping at Ethos is absolute delight because you get the replies for all your queries immediately and with satisfaction. Now regarding the watch, it has absolute masculine appeal with scratch resistance body and glass. Its blue and black dial with seven different hands add to its manliness. Its crown with RADO trademark fitted absolutely fine in the case. Its strap and case give us the feeling of absolute finishing. This time piece is suitable for both the formal as well as informal attire. I am enjoying this time piece.

One of the best time piece from Rado. It boastingly combines excellent craftsmanship and conspicuous muscularity.
