Lavish diamonds meet scratch-resistant plasma high-tech ceramic

Those who appreciate the lustre of diamonds need look no further: the Rado HyperChrome Diamonds collection now offers a new, limited edition model featuring the unparalleled high-tech shine of plasma ceramic. 

The Rado HyperChrome is well known for its sporty sophisticated look, seen on the wrist of movie and tennis stars alike. No model is more refined than this new addition with 56 glittering diamonds on the rose gold coloured bezel, encircling the dial and making it a pleasure to check the time. 

The perfect watch for a stroll in the city, down the red carpet or simply relaxing while watching a tournament, a masterful monobloc case houses an automatic movement which brings the watch to life with every move you make. The cool metallic shine of the plasma high-tech ceramic sets the rose gold colour of the bezel, side inserts and crown ablaze. With its cool and warm tones this timepiece is the ideal finishing touch for any outfit. 

Optimum comfort and a streamlined, fluid case construction with specially developed, sleek side inserts, combine to bring a flash of brilliance to even the most discerning of wrists. Streamlined and subtle but still elegantly eye-catching, the Rado HyperChrome family is the ultimate all-day, all-occasion timepiece. Whether you usually wear a tracksuit or a business suit, if you’re into haute couture or high-street style, there is an ideal Rado HyperChrome for you. 

For a shine that never fades

Eye-catching plasma high-tech ceramic begins its life white. The plasma carburising process, first used by Rado, consists in loading finished white ceramic pieces into an oven, where the ceramic heats up to a temperature of 900ºC and gasses activate at 20,000ºC changing the molecular structure of the pieces and producing a cool grey metallic colour. Remarkably, this colour is achieved without the use of any metal, and though it changes only on the surface of the piece, it will not fade over time. 

As the benefits of the ceramic do not change through this process, it retains its scratch-resistance, adding depth to the metallic shine of this ceramic. However cool plasma ceramic may be, it adapts to skin temperature, making this timepiece undeniably luxurious and unconditionally comfortable.
