Specifications

The Diastar Original, a hallmark of Swiss craftsmanship and avant-garde innovation, is boldly remastered by the globally renowned industrial designer Tej Chauhan. The 38 mm case, crowned by a polished yellow gold-coloured PVD coated Ceramos™ bezel, merges effortlessly with a polished yellow gold-coloured PVD coated stainless-steel middle case, offering water resistance up to 10 bar (100 metres). The matt black concave dial is a pure demonstration of Rado's technical detail mastery, with printed silver and blue minute tracks intersected by applied indexes in relief at five-minute intervals. At 12 and 6 o’clock, the iconic sandblasted black gold-coloured moving anchor and the applied Rado logo stand proud, complemented by a day and date guichet at 3 o’clock, featuring Tej Chauhan’s proprietary font in a vibrant and colourful palette, including neon paint. Polished black and gold-coloured hour and minute hands with white Super-LumiNova® and a neon yellow-accented second hand ensure impeccable legibility in any light. The ultra-sophisticated display is safeguarded by a radial-faceted sapphire crystal, enhanced with an anti-reflective inner coating. Powering this time machine is the automatic R764 calibre. Finely regulated in five positions and equipped with a Nivachron™ hairspring, this movement delivers a high level of accuracy and 80-hour power reserve. Completing the ensemble, a radical grey, pillow-shaped rubber strap is secured by a dark grey PVD-coated stainless steel extendable folding clasp, topped with a yellow gold-coloured cover and pushers engraved with Rado x TC inscriptions.

A Vision of the Future, Inspired by the Past

A watch like no other, designed by the renowned Tej Chauhan and engineered with Rado’s unmatched mastery of materials. The DiaStar Original x Tej Chauhan is the future evolution of the iconic first DiaStar 1 from 1962, reimagined with Tej Chauhan's bold, modern aesthetics while staying true to its legendary design. Crafted with a radiant yellow gold-coloured PVD case and complemented by an avant-garde rubber strap, this timepiece is a striking fusion of industrial design and Rado's legacy of innovation.

Ceramos™ – Bold Design Meets Extreme Material

The yellow gold coloured PVD coated Ceramos™ bezel of the DiaStar Original x Tej Chauhan isn’t just a detail, it is pure innovation. This lightweight, scratch-resistant material is created through the fusion of ceramic and metal alloy, an ultra-advanced manufacturing technique that ensures the two materials bond seamlessly while preserving the exceptional hardness of high-tech ceramic and the structural resilience of metal.

The composition of materials is injected into a high-precision mold, before undergoing sintering at extremely high temperatures. This final stage fuses the alloy, resulting in a completely unique material that perfectly mirrors Tej Chauhan’s bold visionary design.

Design for Comfort, Built to Create Impact

A design statement on your wrist

A watch as bold as this deserves a strap to match. Tej Chauhan’s radical approach brings us a grey, pillow-shaped rubber strap that is as visually striking as it is comfortable. Secured by a polished dark grey PVD extendable folding clasp with yellow gold-coloured pushers and an engraved signature, it ensures seamless wearability. It is the perfect fusion of form and function.

A Dial That Speaks Beyond Time

Beneath the facetted sapphire crystal, the matt black dial sets the stage for precision and bold design. Silver and blue minute tracks align with applied indexes, while the sandblasted black gold coloured Rado logo stands as a testament to the brand’s relentless pursuit of innovation. A neon yellow seconds hand injects a flash of futurism, while Tej Chauhan’s signature proprietary font in the day date guichet pushes the boundaries of design. Adding an expressive touch, the day display showcases the days of the week, each in a different color, expressing Tej Chauhan’s shifting moods throughout the week.

Engineering Excellence at Its Core : Caliber R764

Inside this bold time machine beats the Rado calibre R764, a powerhouse of precision. Equipped with 25 jewels and delivering an 80-hour power reserve, it undergoes rigorous testing in five positions to ensure exceptional accuracy. The Nivachron™ hairspring provides outstanding antimagnetic properties, further enhancing the movement’s reliability. Together, these advanced features make the R764 calibre a pure demonstration of the Swiss legacy in high-precision engineering.
