Rado R12161573 DiaStar Original Automatic Watch 38mm with Red Dial
The Rado R12161573 DiaStar Original automatic wristwatch pairs a red sunray dial with a polished, yellow gold-colored PVD-coated Ceramos bezel, an 80-hour power reserve and 100-meter water resistance. Its oval stainless steel case and vertically facetted sapphire crystal reinterpret a design heritage dating to 1962. Inside, the R764 automatic movement drives day and date displays at 6 o'clock. Eleven crystal stones in yellow gold-colored settings accent the sandblasted star motif, while white Super-LumiNova on the hands and markers helps you read the time.
Key Features
DiaStar Original Heritage With a Ceramos Bezel
The signature oval architecture carries forward the character of the collection introduced in 1962. A polished Ceramos bezel with yellow gold-colored PVD coating frames the stainless steel case, bringing the collection's heritage into a distinctive combination of shape and finish.
Red Sunray Dial With 11 Crystal Stones
A sunray finish and sandblasted star pattern give the red dial contrasting textures to appreciate up close. The 11 crystal stones sit in yellow gold-colored mounts, tying the dial decoration to the warm tone of the bezel and bracelet.
Facetted Sapphire and Luminescent Details
Vertical facets make the sapphire crystal part of the watch's visual identity. An anti-reflective coating on the inside helps reduce reflections, and white Super-LumiNova on the markers and hands supports legibility alongside the decorative dial details.
R764 Automatic Movement With an 80-Hour Reserve
The day and date sit together at 6 o'clock, so calendar information is easy to find alongside the time. Behind the dial, the 25-jewel R764 calibre has an antimagnetic Nivachron hairspring and is tested in five positions. Its 80-hour reserve provides stored running time between wears.
Yellow Gold-Colored Bracelet and 3-Fold Clasp
The yellow gold-colored bracelet continues the bezel's warm tone around the wrist for a coordinated look. A stainless steel/PVD 3-fold clasp fastens the bracelet to complete the design.
