Rado's new D-Star 200 Diver

Have you seen this nice new diver from Rado yet everyone? It's the D-Star 200, and it really
seems to mix the classic Diastar theme, with cool modern dive watch look. The watch comes in
two variations, one an automatic chronograph, and the other an automatic 3-hand. The Chrono
version uses the 27 jewel ETA A05.H31 movement which has a 54 hour power reserve. It also
has a sunbrushed black dial, with steel indexes, and even a luminous anchor too. The stainless
steel polished case measures in at 44mm, and has a steel turning bezel, and high-tech ceramic
insert also. Even the numerals, along with hands are steel-colour metallised, while the bracelet
mixes both solid steel, and ceramic links together with a titanium buckle.

The 3-Hand has all of the same great bells, and whistles as the chronograph, but replaces the
black sunbrushed dial with a blue one. It also has a high-tech blue ceramic bezel insert intead
of the black. The case size measures in slightly less at 42mm, and the ETA 2824-2 automatic
movement is used as well. You can see, and learn much more over at Oceanictime.com where
this information was found right here at this link everybody...

I like this one Tom. Finally, a Rado I would consider (depending on price). Don't really know much about the company. But I like it for the retro case, color choices, and bracelet not offered by the similar Hamilton Pan Europ (shown below old/new). Curious why they didn't use Tungsten - Now that would have been cool.

I like this one as well Jeffery. It has that retro case just like you mentioned, and the overall look is pretty
outstanding. Also think the size is interesting because many of the Rados are usually smaller. By the way,
it's funny how I was thinking about that same retro Hamilton you are showing here when I saw this one as
well. ..Great idea with the tungsten too. Maybe they will do that at some point.
