Rado DiaMaster

The Rado DiaMaster RHW1 (Ref. 510.0586.3.115) was launched in 2013 and was limited to a circulation of 2000 pieces. On the one hand, this version of the Rado DiaMaster collection is memorable in many ways, but on the other hand, the timepieces of the series surprise with a delicate weight of just 70 grams.

The robust yet ultra-light 44-millimeter monobloc case is celebrated for its distinctive “old-bronze” tone. The exterior of the watch exudes a unique charm while the interior is characterised by ultra-modern technical features. At the heart of the watch is a lightweight aluminium hand-wound movement. The hands and the small seconds are finished with a gold colour, which perfectly harmonises with the black dial and ceramic case. The case of the watch is comprised of a high-tech ceramic Si3N4 TiN, which is twice as light as a standard ceramic material. The lightweight concept of the watch is further supported by components of the watch movement, such as the plates and the bridge that are traditionally made from brass, being replaced with a lightweight aluminium material. Furthermore, the black watch bracelet is comprised of high-grade leather, which completes the style of the sophisticated Rado DiaMaster RHW1 and further ensures superior comfort on the wrist.

In November 2014, a new model from the DiaMaster Collection was presented to the watch market – the unique DiaMaster Skeleton Automatic. The model relies on the popular skeletonization technique and is created with a characteristic Rado style. The DiaMaster Skeleton Automatic is, as the name implies, skeletonised. This means that large parts of the watch case are transparent. The dial of the watch is comprised of metallic lustrous plasma-treated high tech ceramics and is protected by a curved sapphire crystal with an anti-reflective coating. The sapphire crystal further provides excellent scratch resistance and allows for deeper insight into the complex watch movement. The case of the watch is provided in characteristic monobloc construction while the case back of the watch is presented with a special engraving that reads “LIMITED EDITION N° XXX/499”.
