Swiss watch producer Rado is renowned for its innovative use of ceramic and various metals in creating rugged—yet lightweight and fashionable—timepieces that regularly capture international design awards.

This dashing Rado Diaster Original Split Second Chronograph is a COSC-certified chronometer and it is in new, showroom condition.

The self-winding automatic movement is driven by the 663 caliber and has 29 jewels. The uniquely shaped stainless steel case measures 39 x 46 mm, is 13 mm in height, and rests upon a stainless steel bracelet with a titanium deployant clasp.

Other case features include a screw-down sapphire crystal case back, a screw-down winding crown, a 100 m / 10 atm water resistance, and a scratch-resistant sapphire crystal. Against the cool black-colored dial one encounters luminous hands and indices and minute markers along the outer rim. There is a small seconds subdial at 9 and Rado’s trademark rotating anchor at 4.

The chronograph functions include a 30-minute counter at 12, a 12-hour counter at 6, a central seconds hand, and a central split seconds hand, which allows for timing multiple simultaneous events.

Standout feature(s):Split seconds chronograph hand, which allows one to time multiple simultaneous events; impressive 100 m / 10 atm water resistance; COSC-certified chronometer.
