Pre Own Rado DiaStar R12637013

History
Rado attributes a major portion of its success to its initial models, such as the Diastar and Integral, for it was these models that helped Rado establish itself as a splendid face in the watch making industry, in the 1900’s. Initially established in 1917, the company started as a small clockwork factory, that later reinvented itself as Rado. The first scratch resistant watch in the world was the Rado DiaStar, introduced in 1962. This marked a revolution in the field of watch making. It used two never used before materials- hard metal and sapphire crystal. The extreme hardness of these two materials was supported by an unusual design, which is incorporated in their watches even today.

Design
The unique R12637013-.0637.3.001 is an addition to the legendary DiaStar family. Incorporating a contemporary spirit, yet reviving its heritage, the piece consists of a stainless steel case measuring 35mm, and is attached to a polished steel bracelet. The unique oval shaped case encloses a simple white dial, which features bold vintage Arabic numeral markers, which pave the way for the super luminova hands. Adding a dash of red, the second hand is of a bold red colour, and a red anchor symbol is placed amidst the piece. Crafted of the finest materials, the piece exudes a masculine edge, which speaks for the man wearing it.

Features
A date display is placed at for 4 o’ clock, hence, the watch functions date, hour, minute and second. Equipped with automatic mechanical movement, we can say that the piece is not only futuristic in its appearance, but also in its function. An excellent blend of past and future, the piece is also water resistant up to 100m, and is also scratch resistant, as it is enclosed in a scratch resistant sapphire crystal, making it a timepiece that can be handed down from generation to generation.
