The DiaStar Original x Tej Chauhan features a striking yellow-gold PVD-coated Ceramos™ bezel—a testament to Rado’s commitment to material innovation. This is paired with a unique grey, pillow-shaped rubber strap, enhancing both comfort and visual distinction. The matt black dial, enriched with silver and blue minute markers, serves as a canvas of modern artistry, further accentuated by Chauhan’s proprietary typography for the day-date display.
