RADO the new DiaMaster collection

 

The new face of a Rado legend

DiaMaster is a name that has long been associated with Rado, having graced several super scratch-resistant collections over the years.

In 2013 Rado presents a DiaMaster collection in high-tech ceramic for the first time ever. This is a complete redesign, with only the name remaining from the collections that went before. But the new DiaMaster promises to appeal to DiaMaster diehards and new enthusiasts alike.

Subtle, minimalistic and chic are the key words when it comes to the design of these simple, pared-down ceramic beauties. The new face of Rado has a new face of its own: large open dials for easy readability and an unobscured view.

The ladies collection comprises eight classy quartz models. The collection offers something for every lady – regardless of style. For those who like to look white hotthere is an all white model with white ceramic case and white satin strap. Black ceramic features on two models and there is a glittering metallic-look model in plasma high-tech ceramic – which is exclusive to Rado – with 93 Top Wesselton diamonds on the dial. Brilliant.

For gents there is a full range of quartz and automatic models to choose from, each offering clean lines and large, open dials. The plasma high-tech ceramic case on leather strap offers a daring mix of modernity and old school chic.

There is also a set of five manly, supersized chronographs presented in polished black, or plasma high-tech ceramic, as well as a bold and breathtaking full matt black model. With one of these on your wrist time will always be on your side.

Plasma treatment – 21st century alchemy

Plasma high-tech ceramic creates a striking and mysterious metallic brilliance, in a warm grey colour, without the use of any metal. The plasma carburising process is patented and exclusive to Rado and is a form of modern alchemy. Gases activated at 20,000˚C alter the composition of high-tech ceramic without affecting its essential properties. Although only the surface colour of the ceramic is changed as the metallic finish emerges from each piece, it will not fade over time, instead retaining its naturally scratch-resistant shine for years to come.

The DiaMaster may look very different from previous collections but the name alone stands for guaranteed Rado quality and outstanding Rado design. Facing the future with a brand new look.
