- In 1962, Rado released the world's first scratchproof watch - the futuristic DiaStar, encased in hard yet sleek metal. Later in 1986 they became the industry-first in utilizing scratch-resistant high-tech ceramic normally reserved for supersonic aircraft.
- As evident in the present example, this elegant lady’s model is exceptionally well-preserved with barely any signs of wear. For over a century, Rado has shaped the industry by their enduring avant-garde spirit manifested in timepieces crafted ahead of its time.
