Rado RADO DIASTAR

Discover the ca. 1963 Rado Captain Cook ref. 11683 with an AS 1701 movement and Jubilee bracelet. Limited production between 1963-1968. A vintage delight for watch collectors.

Visited local Rado boutique to see DiaStar Skeleton, intrigued by unique look. Unexpectedly liked it, became happy owner. Square faceted crystal adds personality. Fans of Rado or DiaStar?

Finally got it after 6 months of waiting. Currently the smallest and "worldtimer" (more on that later) at 37 mm diameter and 9.8 mm thickness (10.3 mm with box sapphirre crystal). Manually wound Rado Caliber R862, which is modified ETA with 80 hours power reserve and anti magnetic Nivachron balance

A watch that I like to wear a lot : the Rado "True Square". Full ceramic case and bracelet and so well executed : everything is soft and touches like a pebble . Rado certainly knows how to do ceramics! And one of the most comfortable watches I own !! Best, Gerard

For me my rado ghost captain. Changed over to NATO style strap. -Kevin
