What Distinguishes Rado as the "Master of Materials"?

Established in Lengnau, Switzerland in 1917, Rado transformed modern horology by moving beyond traditional gold and brass to pioneer advanced, scratch-resistant materials. The brand's foundational philosophy remains central to every case and bracelet they forge:

"If we can imagine it, we can make it. And if we can make it, we will."

Why Is High-Tech Ceramic Crucial to Modern Watchmaking?

Pioneered by Rado in 1986, high-tech ceramic is sintered at temperatures exceeding 1,450°C. The resulting composite achieves a hardness rating of up to 1,900 Vickers—nearly five times harder than standard surgical stainless steel. Beyond extreme scratch resistance, high-tech ceramic is exceptionally lightweight, hypoallergenic for sensitive skin, and thermally adaptive to body temperature.

How Does Ceramos™ Merge Metal and Ceramic?

Developed through extensive metallurgical research, Ceramos™ is Rado’s patented composite combining 90% high-tech ceramic with 10% metal alloy. It retains the platinum-steel brilliance and density of fine metals while ensuring the lifelong scratch immunity of sintered ceramics.

What Makes the Rado DiaStar Original a Horological Legend?

Introduced over six decades ago as the world’s very first scratch-proof watch, the DiaStar Original maintains its avant-garde oval silhouette. Crafted with an ultra-hard Ceramos™ coiffe and faceted sapphire crystal, it is regulated under the rigorous standards of the Federation of the Swiss Watch Industry (FH).

Frequently Asked Questions About Rado Watches

What is the price range of authentic Rado watches in India?

At Zimson Watches, genuine Rado timepieces typically range from ₹75,000 for classic quartz models (such as the Florence and Coupole Classic) up to ₹3,50,000+ for flagship high-tech ceramic skeleton models in the True Square and Captain Cook collections.

Can Rado high-tech ceramic watches crack or break?

High-tech ceramic is virtually impossible to scratch under normal everyday wear. However, because it is an ultra-hard crystalline material rather than a soft metal, a direct, violent impact against hard stone surfaces (such as granite or tile) could cause chipping.

How often should a mechanical Rado watch be serviced?

Swiss mechanical and automatic calibres should receive professional maintenance every 3 to 5 years to renew synthetic lubricants and replace water-resistant seals and gaskets.
