Swiss watchmaker Rado has revealed a new version of its iconic DiaStar, which first arrived back in 1962 and was reissued for its 60th anniversary last year. Now for 2023, a new model features a skeletonised dial for extra visual flare.

The quirky timepiece uses a 38mm stainless steel case with a bezel made from the company’s own polished Ceramos, which looks similar to titanium. Water resistant to 100 metres, the case has sapphire crystal on both its front and back, revealing a skeletonised dial that lets light flow right through the automatic movement within.

The watch comes with a polished and brushed stainless steel bracelet with a three-fold clasp and Rado’s EasyClip mechanism. Instead of fixing its brand logo to the dial or movement, the ‘Rado’ and ‘DiaStar’ inscriptions appear on the outside of the front sapphire crystal, sat within a square motif that Rado says is reminiscent of earlier models of DiaStar.
