Rado R12166309 DiaStar Original Skeleton Limited Edition Automatic Watch 38mm with Skeletonised Dial

The Rado R12166309 DiaStar Original Skeleton Limited Edition automatic skeleton wristwatch combines an R808 movement with an 80-hour power reserve, a gold-PVD Ceramos bezel and a production run limited to 555 pieces. A green ring-shaped dial frames yellow-gold-colored elements and red Super-Luminova detailing, bringing bold contrast to the recognizable DiaStar design. The square-faceted sapphire crystal and transparent sapphire case back reveal the mechanical construction from both sides. Finished with a soft green rubber strap, this Swiss Made watch pairs its openworked display with comfort and durability for everyday wear.

Key Features

A Fresh Take on Colour

Green dial and strap accents contrast with the yellow-gold bezel, drawing attention to the skeletonized center. Yellow-gold-colored markers and red Super-Luminova details on the markers, hour and minute hands, and moving anchor complete the distinctive palette. This limited edition takes a design with more than 60 years of history in a bold new direction.

Skeletonized R808 Automatic Movement

Rather than concealing the mechanism behind a solid dial, the skeletonized caliber makes its yellow-gold-colored architecture part of the watch's visual character. Turn the watch over to examine the movement through the transparent sapphire case back, extending the mechanical display beyond the dial.

An 80-hour power reserve gives the watch stored running time when it is off the wrist. The movement is also tested in five positions and uses an antimagnetic Nivachron hairspring.

Gold-PVD Ceramos Bezel and Faceted Sapphire

The radial brushing is more than a visual finish: it is intended to help resist smudges on the gold-PVD Ceramos bezel. Square facets distinguish the sapphire front crystal, adding another characteristic detail to the design's emphasis on durability. A stainless steel/PVD case complements these materials.

Flexible Green Rubber Strap

Soft, flexible technical rubber gives this expressive design an everyday-wear focus, pairing strap comfort with durability. The green strap carries the dial's color onto the wrist, while a stainless steel/PVD pin buckle completes the fastening.
