Pre-owned Price 950 AED

✨ A TRUE RADO ICON

A distinctive vintage Rado DiaStar Automatic, representing one of the most important designs in Rado’s history. Rado introduced the original DiaStar in 1962, pioneering the use of exceptionally hard, scratch-resistant case materials and sapphire crystal in wristwatches.

This example features a striking black dial, jewel-style hour markers, date display at 6 o’clock, integrated stainless-steel bracelet and the unmistakable architectural DiaStar case design.

At its heart is the respected Rado-signed Calibre 2783 automatic movement, from the ETA 2783 family introduced around the mid-1970s. Period Rado examples using this calibre are documented with 25 jewels.

⚙️ RADO CAL. 2783 AUTOMATIC MOVEMENT

The ETA 2783 family dates to approximately 1974 and operates at 21,600 vibrations per hour. Its automatic winding system winds through rotor motion in both directions.

The Cal. 2783 is a well-known vintage Swiss automatic movement and can be found in collectible 1970s Rado DiaStar models.

🛡️ LEGENDARY DIASTAR CONSTRUCTION

The DiaStar is historically significant because Rado launched the original model in 1962 as a highly scratch-resistant watch. Rado confirms that the original DiaStar helped introduce hardmetal and sapphire crystal into watchmaking at a time when these materials were highly unusual.

🔎 CONDITION

This is a genuine vintage pre-owned watch, so normal age-related signs of use may be present.

✨ Case professionally cleaned and polished where appropriate
✨ Dial retains its attractive vintage character
✨ Crystal presents the distinctive DiaStar profile

Important: Because this is a vintage watch, the original historical “Watersealed” marking should not be treated as a guarantee of present-day water resistance. Avoid water exposure unless the watch has been specifically pressure-tested.

💎 COLLECTOR’S NOTE

The combination of the dramatic black dial, jewel-style markers, integrated bracelet and Cal. 2783 automatic movement gives this DiaStar strong vintage character. The DiaStar remains one of Rado’s defining collections and an important part of the brand’s history of material innovation.
