Rado & Chauhan: A Creative Partnership Reignited
Back after a successful first outing, designer Tej Chauhan teams up again with Rado to bring a fresh twist to the Diastar Original. This new special edition breathes vibrant, vintage energy into the iconic line, delivering a timepiece that doubles as wearable art. With a nod to ‘70s sci-fi aesthetics and a focus on fun, this watch pushes boundaries with flair.
Materials That Shine Beyond Time
Crafted from Rado’s proprietary Ceramos material and coated in gold PVD, the case exudes a bold, brass-toned finish. This dual-material construction not only enhances scratch resistance but also amplifies the watch’s dazzling gold hue—an aesthetic that feels plucked straight from a futuristic film set.
Expressive Dial with a Purpose
The colorful minute track and applied indexes create a high-impact display. A standout feature is the cyan quarter-hour section—Chauhan’s “party time” tribute—representing productivity and celebration. Day and date indicators are color-coded and font-diverse, enhancing the piece’s playful character. A curved, bowl-shaped dial adds depth and dimension, reinforced by a sapphire crystal designed to reflect light dramatically.
Engineered for Longevity
Behind the art lies technical credibility. The R764 automatic movement offers 80 hours of power, operates at 21,600 bph, and includes an antimagnetic Nivachron hairspring. While the movement finishing is minimal, it’s robust and dependable.
Strap Style That Matches the Mood
The custom gray rubber strap, with its pillowy structure, recalls retro-futuristic furniture. It may not be versatile for every occasion, but it’s supremely comfortable and reinforces the watch’s avant-garde identity.
Conclusion
The Rado Diastar x Tej Chauhan Special Edition isn’t just a watch—it’s a personality. For fans of bold design and unconventional flair, it’s a modern icon of retro imagination.
