About the Rado DiaStar Original Collection
History
Rado was not a very well-known brand in the world of watchmaking during the 1960s. It was in 1962, the brand gained the recognition it deserved with the launch of the Rado DiaStar Original collection. This was the first scratch-resistant watch in the world and while the watchmakers were busy complicating the mechanical aspect of a timepiece, Rado solely concentrated on the aesthetical aspect of it.
Essence
The DiaStar Original fits the bill for the bold and ageless appeal of the first DiaStar. The off-beat, oval design of the watch is a reminder of the 60s DiaStar and holds a similar sleek avant-garde approach in the collection. This clean, polished set of timepieces is particularly an eye candy for some and a piece of heritage for others.
Features
Be it the baton-shaped hands or the diamond-studded index markers, the DiaStar Original is a simple yet suave on the dial. In terms of displaying matters apart from time, the DiaStar features a day/date feature window either at 6 or 3. The DiaStar Original also features a skeleton variant displaying the robust automatic movement on the dial.

Rado is the master metallurgist of Swiss watchmaking, incorporating almost every element and materials possible into their watches. High tech ceramics, gold, platinum, tungsten carbide and many more.The models are fairly priced compared to the competition with a good service support and excellent network of boutiques.
Lets talk about this particular model. Rado original with a convex bezel(tungsten ) and sapphire crystal dial has been in the market since the past 40 years or so. The design is similar but alterations are done by incorporating top notch materials with precise machining techniques. The two tone dial is eye catching and elevates the watch to a party cum formal wear category. Additionally the jewels on the markers dazzle under good lighting conditions(can replace a disco ball sometimes). The list is endless ,you get a premium Swiss quartz movement with day date feature,scratch proof sapphire crystal&to top it all the incredible piece of workmanship is competitively priced. Truly remarkable.
To sum it up
Pros: Great design lined with a two tone design,reputed Swiss brand,excellent customer support and network,high quality materials.
Cons: Be careful with the bezel (cracks can be expensive to mend).I had a vintage model with a crack ,had to spend 15k to repair.
I am waiting to get a good offer on this watch(don't have a Swiss dress watch yet). I would recommend this model as a initial investment to venture into the watch collectors club. -

It design and look seems very startling and attractive and anyone will see it will try out and pick it up despite some financial constraint. I already have one Rado brand watch although it is expensive but it works perfectly fine. I would be happy to have another sometimes as I wish to use them alternatively. It gives satisfaction of wearing them.

The round shape royal dial with gold and silver colour captures everybody's eyes, and it has the easiest method of strap lock. The best watch from Ethos. I will buy a couple of more from Ethos.
