Rado DiaStar Original Automatic 38mm Mosaic Dial Steel Men's Watch R12161263

The Rado DiaStar Original 38mm Yellow Gold Mosaic Dial Men's Watch R12161263 is a Rado DiaStar Original — the world's first scratch-proof watch from 1962, in a 38mm gold-tone case. A mosaic dial paired with a Rado Swiss automatic movement (typically 80-hour power reserve) makes this an authentic, brand-new piece in our INCMAXX collection. The DiaStar Original launched in 1962 as the world's first scratch-proof watch — using hardmetal (tungsten carbide) cases and sapphire crystal. It pioneered the use of advanced materials in watchmaking that's defined Rado ever since.
