Rado DiaStar Original Skeleton Limited Edition Automatic Watch 38mm with Skeletonised Dial - R12169409

Rado R12169409 DiaStar Original Skeleton Limited Edition Automatic Watch 38mm with Skeletonised Dial

The Rado R12169409 DiaStar Original Skeleton Limited Edition automatic watch pairs an exposed R808 movement and an 80-hour power reserve with a production run limited to 555 pieces. A scratch-resistant Ceramos bezel and square-faceted sapphire crystal frame a red annular dial, with green Super-Luminova accents on the indices, hour and minute hands, and moving anchor emblem. This Swiss Made design brings the mechanism into view rather than hiding it behind a conventional dial, while a soft red rubber strap carries the color onto the wrist for comfortable everyday wear.

Key Features

A Bold Statement in Colour

Rather than a solid dial, a red annular surround leaves the mechanical construction on display. Green luminous details provide a contrasting set of visual cues across the hour markers, hour and minute hands, and moving anchor emblem against the red and rhodium palette.

R808 Skeleton Movement and 80-Hour Power Reserve

Rhodium coloring and horizontal brushing draw attention to the automatic movement's construction. Turn the watch over and its transparent sapphire caseback offers another view of the mechanism. An 80-hour reserve provides running time between wears, while an antimagnetic Nivachron hairspring and accuracy testing in five positions round out the movement's specification.

Ceramos and Square-Faceted Sapphire

The DiaStar's recognizable combination of a Ceramos bezel and faceted sapphire crystal puts scratch-resistant materials around the open dial. The bezel is also smudge-resistant, helping maintain a clean appearance through everyday handling. Stainless steel forms the case and crown.

Soft Red Rubber for Everyday Wear

Designed for daily comfort and durability, the flexible rubber strap makes this expressive design an everyday timepiece. Its red finish echoes the dial's annular surround, and a stainless steel pin buckle secures the strap at the wrist.

Limited to 555 Pieces

This 2026 interpretation brings bold color and visible mechanical construction to the established DiaStar Original design. Production consists of 555 watches, combining the collection's characteristic scratch-resistant elements with an expressive red-and-green palette.
