Description: RARE Scratchproof Chronograph Rado Diastar 35mm Tungsten Carbide Red Black 538.0470.3 Watch Important disclaimer about watch gender: Is this a Men or Women watch? Well! It depends on personal taste, colour, style & on how big you find the watch case for yourself (34mm wide) and on the wrist size/circumference (fits up to 18.5cm). Tastes differ. For example, a small (allegedly ladies) watch may fit a man with a small wrist while not fitting a woman with a large wrist. Always check size, dimensions, photos & measure against your wrist before buying. It's more of a Ladies watch, though. No gender obligations here. Extremely rare model and colour. Well looked after. Reference number: 538.0470.3 Case size: 35mm with crown, 34mm without crown Crystal: Sapphire crystal, scratchproof Case: Tungsten carbide, scratchproof. That's why this watch will always look brand new Dial: Matte black with luminous hands. Subdials for chronograph and small seconds. Genuine leather strap made by MARUMAN. This is a replacement strap cut to fit. Original RADO clasp with push button for easy release. Movement: Swiss Made ETA 251.471, 23 jewels. Chronograph function. Calibration function possible using pushers. This is a robust ETA chronograph movement from 1990s, unlike the cheaper modern variants (also made by ETA) used in current Swatches and CKs etc... Condition Description: Rare find. Scratchproof bezel and scratchproof sapphire crystal will keep the watch always look brand new. Clean dial and hands. Genuine leather strap in excellent condition. Runs accurately and date changes. Chronograph functions as it should. All hands reset to zero and can be calibrated if needed. Well sealed with an original hard red gasket. New battery fitted in June 2024. Will fit up to 18.5cm wrist. (See photos for details) Watch size: Check watch size against your wrist and existing watches before buying please. A measuring tape is always a good idea to check and compare. Extra links may be available at time of purchase, subject to availability and price. Also, extra links can be bought separately from other sources or sellers. Bracelet can be adjusted prior to shipping if buyer wants. I just ask you to imagine the amount of frustration I get from return requests due to watch sizes while the size is clearly mentioned in description and shown in photos. Authenticity Guaranteed: I only sell authentic watches. Some watches listed here come without box or papers, but they are guaranteed authentic. Seller Warranty: While I'm not an authorised dealer, I do provide warranty for my items up to 3 months. Contact me anytime if you have any question or concern.

I guarantee you will receive an authentic watch that's exactly as described and at a very competitive price. So, buy with confidence. Please refer to description, condition description and photos. I do a great effort showing the actual condition and exact dimensions/length. Even the tiniest imperfections I try hard to show them clearly. Photos are an essential part of the description and they are of the actual watch that you will get. So, check photos carefully. I believe no other seller would provide such detailed photos. Battery information: If there's no mention of a new battery replacement, the battery in the watch will be of an unknown history. I will make sure the watch is running properly before shipping. In many occasions, I will fit a fresh battery prior to shipping for more peace of mind. If you'd like to have the battery replaced, please confirm with a message after payment and before shipping. I would replace the battery free of charge if you ask for this before shipping, providing a photo confirmation of the battery change as well.
