Rado DiaStar x Tej Chauhan: A Vision of the Future, Inspired by the Past
In an exclusive pre-launch on rivolishop.com, Rado unveiled a bold new chapter in its design legacy with the DiaStar Original x Tej Chauhan, a timepiece that reimagined the iconic DiaStar 1 from 1962 through the lens of contemporary industrial design. This collaboration with renowned designer Tej Chauhan merged futuristic aesthetics with Rado’s pioneering expertise in materials engineering, resulting in a watch that is as visually striking as it is technically refined.
Crafted with a radiant yellow gold-coloured PVD case, the watch is paired with an avant-garde rubber strap, giving it a distinctive silhouette that stands out from convention. It embodies a perfect harmony between past and future, form and function.
Innovation in Every Element
At the heart of the watch is a yellow gold-coloured PVD-coated Ceramos™ bezel, a material that exemplifies Rado’s trailblazing spirit. Ceramos™ fuses ceramic and metal alloy into a single ultra-lightweight, scratch-resistant compound. This hybrid material is created by injecting the composite into a precision mold, followed by sintering at extremely high temperatures, resulting in a bezel that combines the hardness of ceramic with the strength and resilience of metal.
This seamless fusion of innovation and design pays tribute to Rado’s avant-garde heritage while pushing the boundaries of modern watchmaking, just as Tej Chauhan envisioned.
