INSPIRED BY TIMELESS ARCHITECTURE, DEFINED BY RADO

Rado DiaStar Original Oman Edition


The skyline of Muscat embodies a vision of cultural pride, precision, and lasting craftsmanship – values deeply rooted in Omani identity expressed exquisitely in the new Rado DiaStar Original Oman Edition watches.

 

Purity, Balance and Timelessness

These new timepieces are inspired by timeless architecture that distinguishes Oman’s capital city. At the heart of their design is a refined balance between classical Middle Eastern geometry and the Sultanate’s contemporary sense of elegance and harmony. Clean lines, symmetry, and carefully measured surfaces create an atmosphere of calm confidence.

 

 

Watches worthy of a unique landscape

The Rado DiaStar Original Oman Edition watches take their design inspiration from Oman’s architectural heritage. Produced in four distinct models, the collection is available in silver or golden tones, each offered in two sizes: 30mm designed for slimmer wrists, and 38mm, expressing a bolder character.

 

The dial continues the celebration of Oman’s artistry, cultural heritage and topography. Curves, proportions and refined detailing translate architectural grandeur into a wearable expression. The warm sandstone tone reflects the overall aesthetic of local architecture, while the subtle copper-to-gold gradient adds depth to the design.

 

From a technical perspective, the DiaStar Original Oman Edition is driven by the same discipline and precision that define its design. The larger models are powered by the Rado calibre R764, and the smaller sizes are equipped with the Rado calibre R586.

 

The case construction balances robustness with refinement. Framed by a polished Ceramos™ bezel – declined in platinum or yellow gold-coloured finishes – the design is paired with a polished stainless steel middle case and topped by a vertically facetted sapphire crystal with anti-reflective coating on the inside.

 

Turning the watch reveals a stainless steel case back adorned with a special laser engraving reading “OMAN EDITION”, enriched by architectural inspiration and a play of multiple brushed effects that add texture and depth.

 

Rado x Oman

 Oman’s history is a rich and fascinating one. Rado’s own meaningful connection with the Sultanate dates back to 1970, a pivotal year that marked the beginning of Oman’s modern era.  

In recent years, Rado has continued to strengthen its presence across the Middle East and looks ahead with confidence to deepening its long-standing relationship with Oman. Reconnecting with long-time Rado enthusiasts while welcoming new audiences, the Swiss watchmaker is proud to share its spirit of innovation, design excellence, and material mastery with a new generation.
