The Rado DiaStar Original Automatic R12171573 brings the collection’s iconic 1962 hardmetal heritage into the modern era with innovative Ceramos™ technology and distinctive Swiss craftsmanship. Featuring a 30.0mm stainless steel case with a polished yellow gold-coloured PVD-coated Ceramos™ bezel, this elegant timepiece showcases the collection’s signature oval-shaped design. A vertically facetted sapphire crystal with an internal anti-reflective coating protects the dial while enhancing clarity and providing a refined finish.
The eye-catching red sunray dial is enhanced by a distinctive sandblasted star pattern, creating depth and texture beneath the crystal. Eleven crystal hour markers, set in yellow gold-coloured mounts, add a touch of refined sparkle, while white Super-LumiNova® markers and hands ensure excellent legibility in low-light conditions. With its compact 30.0mm case and 11.0mm thickness, the watch offers a stylish and comfortable fit, complemented by a practical date display positioned at 6 o’clock.
At its heart, the Rado DiaStar Original Automatic R12171573 is powered by the 24-jewel automatic calibre R586, delivering a reliable 48-hour power reserve and enhanced precision through five-position movement adjustment. An antimagnetic Nivachron™ hairspring supports long-term performance, while 100-metre water resistance adds everyday versatility. Combining a striking red dial, gold-coloured detailing and innovative movement technology, this Rado timepiece is a distinctive expression of heritage, durability and contemporary elegance.
