DiaStar Original
60-Year Anniversary

Rado is proud to present the next chapter in the DiaStar success story – the DiaStar Original 60-Year Anniversary Edition. This time in another of Rado’s preferred materials: Ceramos™. This unique piece has been created in collaboration with the Swiss designer Alfredo Häberli. The goal was to revisit the model, with subtle but notable changes to mark its sixtieth anniversary, to keep the strong personality of its predecessor, while also adding the best and latest innovations.

The DiaStar Original 60-Year Anniversary Edition has been created in collaboration with the Swiss designer Alfredo Häberli. Framed by a radial-brushed Ceramos™ coiffe with polished angles and detailing set over a matching, monochrome stainless steel case, the watch also features a sapphire crystal with hexagonal facets to mark six decades since the original watch. The case and dial are made in a monochromatic colour scheme, whereas the hands and hour markers are coloured with a touch of Super-LumiNova®. Inside, the Rado R764 automatic movement with 80 hours of power reserve ensures reliable and precise timekeeping. The watch has a diameter of 38 mm and is water resistant to 100 m. It stands for dependability, lasting beauty and endless wearing pleasure. This edition is delivered in a stylish grey pouch with a woven stainless-steel mesh “Milanese” bracelet, as well as a mottled grey textile strap: the EasyClip system makes interchanging for a different look effortlessly quick.

Challenging the limits

When the first DiaStar was presented in April 1962 at the watch fair in Basel, Switzerland, it created a sensation. But the journey of this icon started a lot earlier and with a simple idea: that of giving the world an accurate watch of lasting beauty. A watch with individual, unmistakable design and an ultra-brilliant luster. After years of research and development and with a lot of pioneering spirit as well as courage, an item of truly special form and charisma was born: the world’s first scratch-proof watch.

The successful journey continues with this new DiaStar Original 60-Year-Anniversary model, framed by a radial-brushed Ceramos™ coiffe with polished angles and detailing set over a matching, monochrome stainless steel case, a sapphire crystal with hexagonal facets marks six decades since the original watch. The Rado R764 automatic movement with 80 hours of power reserve ensures reliable and precise timekeeping. The watch stands today as it did in 1962 for dependability, lasting beauty and endless wearing pleasure.

About Alfredo Häberli

The designer Alfredo Häberli (*1964) describes himself as a blend of Swiss precision and Latin American emotionality and has thus achieved international renown. In his Zurich based studio «Alfredo Häberli Design Development», the Buenos Aires-born designer conceives the reduced and the inventive, combining functionality with soul and humour. Instead of following trends, he tries to find his own solutions. Today, more than thirty years after opening his own studio in 1991, he still realises his visions for brands such as Iittala, Baufritz or Andreu World with the same level of passion, discipline and élan as on day one.
