Hard to Scratch... Hard to Photograph... Hard to Find... Easy to Own...

 

For 20+ years I have had this RADO DiaMaster Diver.  It has proven to be a pretty good companion in a few areas...


First of all, the Tungsten Carbide Bezel and Bracelet have gone all this distance without a scratch!  The material is really incredible.  

The one time I thought I did scratch it, I was in error.  It ended up taking a layer of aluminum off the small boat I was in and having it stick to the edge of the bracelet.  I got home and worked on it with my fingernail for a while and it all came off without a trace.  WOW!  I only wish my RO could repel scratches like this one.  

Next, while I am no real fan of Quartz movements, the ETA in this one goes for well over 7 years between battery changes.  

And lastly, this thing shines like the mirror ball in a disco.  If you want to attract attention at a distance, this one does it.  

One big downside is the weight.  Hard Metal weighs a lot.  While Ceramics are lighter, I have not seen them provide a chrome-like finish the way T-C can.

In all, I have 3 RADO's and they are great daily-wearer / tool watches.  

All the best...  HEO.
