Men's DiaStar Original Automatic 38mm Gold Plated Watch

The Rado DiaStar Original Automatic R12161263 is a contemporary take on one of Rado's most celebrated timepieces, combining iconic design with innovative materials and Swiss precision. Featuring a 38mm case, this striking model is distinguished by its yellow gold PVD-coated Ceramos™ bezel, delivering exceptional scratch resistance while remaining remarkably lightweight. A faceted sapphire crystal with an anti-reflective coating protects the distinctive dial, ensuring outstanding clarity and durability for everyday wear.

Powered by the renowned Rado calibre R764 automatic movement, the R12161263 offers an impressive 80-hour power reserve and is equipped with an antimagnetic Nivachron™ hairspring for enhanced reliability and accuracy. The movement is rigorously tested and adjusted in five positions, exceeding standard performance requirements. A convenient day and date display further enhances the practicality of this luxury Swiss automatic watch, making it ideal for both everyday use and special occasions.

The standout feature of the Rado DiaStar Original Automatic R12161263 is its captivating mosaic-pattern dial, where multiple geometric shapes are finished with contrasting textures and layered at varying heights to create remarkable depth and visual interest. Eleven clear crystal hour markers add an elegant finishing touch, perfectly complementing the watch's sophisticated aesthetic. Blending heritage, innovation, and timeless style, this iconic Rado timepiece is an exceptional choice for collectors and anyone seeking a luxury automatic watch built to last.
