DiaStar Original Automatic R12171663

This DiaStar Original offers a brand new, smaller size that completes an already iconic family. Its 30 mm diameter is larger than the 27 mm of its hard-metal counterpart, but strikes the perfect balance for the modern tastes of watch lovers. Its Ceramos™ bezel provides lightness and one of the highest levels of scratch resistance, a characteristic further enhanced by the sapphire crystal glass covering the dial. The latter, a yellow gold sunray featuring a sandblasted star pattern, is enriched by 11 crystal stones and a date window at six o’clock. The bracelet, middle links, and 3-fold clasp are made of PVD-coated stainless steel and feature a mix of polished and brushed gold colours. A 48-hour power reserve, antimagnetic Nivachron™ hairspring and testing and adjustment in five positions complete what is a true crown jewel.
