The Rado Original Automatic is where the 1962 DiaStar legacy meets Swiss automatic watchmaking. The oval case — one of the most recognisable silhouettes in watch history — is constructed from CVD-coated hardmetal, the scratch-resistant material that Rado made famous. Inside, the Calibre R764 delivers 80 hours of power reserve with an antimagnetic Nivachron™ hairspring. History, precision, and material innovation in a single piece.
Why This Watch Stands Out
- CVD-coated hardmetal case — virtually scratch-proof, a Rado technological hallmark
- Calibre R764 with 80-hour power reserve — keeps going through the whole weekend
- Antimagnetic Nivachron™ hairspring — precision safeguarded from everyday magnetic fields
- Diamond hour markers — genuine gemstones, set with Rado's watchmaking precision
- Iconic oval case — the original DiaStar shape, beloved since 1962
- Swiss Made automatic — a mechanical heart beneath a heritage exterior
