Rado Diastar Original Tej Chauhan Special Edition R12165155

An award-winning designer collaboration

The Rado Diastar Original, a hallmark of Swiss craftsmanship and avant-garde innovation, is boldly remastered by the globally renowned British industrial designer Tej Chauhan. 

Here, the 38mm case, crowned by a polished yellow gold-colored PVD coated Ceramos™ bezel, merges effortlessly with a polished yellow gold-colored PVD coated stainless-steel middle case, offering water resistance up to 10 bar (100 meters). The matte 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-colored 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 colorful palette, including neon paint. Polished black and gold-colored 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-colored cover and pushers engraved with Rado x TC inscriptions.
