Rado diastar original L (Translated automatically with Google™ View original text)
Verified Purchase


The Rado Original DiaStar L is a true style icon, a watchmaking masterpiece that perfectly combines timeless elegance with bold innovation. Its design, both classic and avant-garde, still captivates the eye with its clean lines and impeccable finishes, even though it was first launched in 1962. The watch case, with its faceted sapphire crystal, can remind us of a drop of water or a diamond reflecting the light. It takes on its full brilliance with the light. One of Rado's many signatures in search of bold and perpetual innovation. Sometimes misunderstood in the world of watchmaking purists who will undoubtedly find a more conventional Rado model at the jeweler and watchmaker Christian AG, the DiaStar Original L stands out for its audacity. The jeweler and watchmaker Christian AG also offers a very large selection of Rado models. The original Rado DiaStar was designed by industrial designer Hans Wildorf. He is also known for creating prestigious Swiss watch brands, certainly less atypical, but whose timepieces have marked the history of Swiss watchmaking. The Rado brand has adapted and sublimated the original DiaStar model in 2024, and it is a total success with a large choice of variants. The Rado case offers exceptional resistance to scratches while guaranteeing optimal comfort on the wrist. Some models have an open dial, revealing the movement, both from the front and the back, thus highlighting Rado's watchmaking expertise. This watch is a true jewel of technology and a design success that will appeal to lovers of beautiful watches in search of an exceptional timepiece. The Rado DiaStar Original L is a modern version of the original Rado DiaStar. The "L" version is part of Rado's current collection and has been continuously produced and updated by Rado for six decades, without aging a day. The original Rado DiaStar, which inspired the “L” version, was launched in 1962 and remains an avant-garde object even in 2024. It is a true legend on the wrist that never ceases to fascinate.

Great watch with 2 big “buts” (Translated automatically with Google™ View original text)
Verified Purchase
According to the customer descriptions for the model, I was really looking forward to receiving the item. Very prompt delivery as always and cut to my size, top service. The watch, however, disappointed me - I find the praised steel strap to be "rickety" and not of the same quality as the watch. Although it is comfortable to wear, the feel is just not there. The watch head is top-notch, there is nothing to complain about, the crown for setting the time or winding the watch is far too complicated for men's hands (mine anyway), i.e. too small. I could hardly manage this - a no go for me. Review by tch (Posted on 04.12.2023) for Rado Original DiaStar L Skeleton Automatic, R12063013 0 | Report abuse
Everything is great, very satisfied. (Translated automatically with Google™ View original text)

The watch is perfect, the size, the weight and the bracelet are all great. Apart from the watches and other items, I think that the items are ordered here almost solely because of Christian's top service:) I ordered the watch at 3:16 p.m. in the afternoon and the next morning I had it in my hands! This is not the first item I have ordered here, I have ordered it countless times and always top service, ultra-fast delivery. Hats off and always happy to order again.

A lovely watch and impeccable service from you, as always. (Translated automatically with Google™ View original text)

Very original watch and very attractive price for a Rado. A downside, the color of the hands, same color as the back of the watch, so difficult to see the hours and minutes. Radio offers other colors for the hands? Review by Cherpilolo (Posted on 11.04.2024) for Rado Original DiaStar L Skeleton Automatic, R12064253 0 | Report abuse

FAQ

Questions about warranty

How long is my warranty?

You will find details of the item's warranty on the relevant product page under additional information. We provide the official international manufacturer's warranty for branded watches and branded jewellery. This is at least 24 months. Individual brands or products sometimes have a significantly longer warranty. CHRISTIAN brand jewellery is guaranteed for 24 months.

What does the warranty cover?

A watch's warranty generally covers manufacturing and material defects, including the movement, hands, dial, crown and sometimes the case. However, it does not cover damage resulting from incorrect use, lack of care (see our maintenance tips), accidents or normal wear and tear (e.g. straps, batteries, etc.).

Questions about the products

Are your watches original?

Yes, all the products we sell are original and 100% new. They are purchased directly from the respective manufacturer.

Is the watch water-resistant?

Information on water resistance is indicated for each watch in the product information. Here you can find the detailed meaning of the various specifications and the water activities you can do with your watch: www.uhrenschmuck24.ch/wasserdichtigkeit

What is the difference in colour between 14-carat and 18-carat gold?

18 carat gold contains 75% pure gold, which gives it an intense, warm yellow colour that radiates elegance. In comparison, 14 carat gold, with 58.5% pure gold, has a slightly lighter, more restrained yellow colour. In white gold, 14 carat appears brighter and more radiant, while 18 carat has a softer, subtle lustre. In rose gold, 14 carat stands out with a more intense shade of pink, while 18 carat is characterised by a softer, more restrained shade of red.

Does the jewellery come with a certificate of authenticity?

All CHRISTIAN diamond jewellery is sent with a certificate of authenticity indicating that our diamonds are natural and extracted from conflict-free sources.
CHRISTIAN gold jewellery and silver jewellery do not come with a certificate. The responsibility label (CGZ stamp) on the piece of jewellery is sufficient to indicate that it was produced by CHRISTIAN AG. The gold quality is indicated by the symbol 750 or 585. The silver quality is indicated by the symbol 925.

Are your diamonds and gemstones natural?

CHRISTIAN diamonds and gemstones are natural. They come from conflict-free sources and meet the strictest international standards.
