This Rado HyperChrome Automatic Diamonds watch is designed for individuals seeking a sophisticated and durable timepiece that blends sporty aesthetics with timeless elegance. Its key benefit is the full plasma high-tech ceramic construction, offering exceptional scratch-resistance, lightness, and hypoallergenic properties. A potential caveat for some users might be the 42mm dial size, which could be larger than preferred for slimmer wrists, and the 50-meter water resistance, suitable for splashes but not for deep-water activities. Key features include a striking dark turquoise dial, rose-gold coloured hands, 12 diamond hour markers, and a reliable R763 automatic movement with a Nivachron™ hairspring for enhanced accuracy and antimagnetic properties.

The watch has a water resistance rating of 50 meters, which is suitable for accidental splashes and brief immersion but not for swimming, diving, or prolonged water activities.
Clean the ceramic with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals. The material is highly scratch-resistant, but avoid sharp impacts.
The Nivachron™ hairspring enhances the watch's accuracy and provides superior resistance to magnetic fields, ensuring more reliable timekeeping.
As an automatic watch, it is powered by the motion of your wrist. If worn daily, it should remain wound. If left unworn for an extended period, it will stop and require manual winding before wearing again.
Rado's high-tech ceramic is significantly more scratch-resistant than stainless steel, meaning it is less likely to develop fine scratches from everyday wear. However, it can be more brittle and susceptible to chipping or cracking under sharp impact.
Rado adheres to strict industry standards and the Kimberley Process Certification Scheme to ensure that the diamonds used in their watches are conflict-free and ethically sourced.
Rado typically offers an international warranty on their timepieces, often for a period of two years from the date of purchase, covering manufacturing defects. Please refer to the warranty card provided with your watch for specific details.
If the watch has stopped, manually wind the crown by turning it clockwise about 30-40 times. If the issue persists, ensure you are wearing the watch regularly to allow the automatic rotor to wind the movement.
Automatic watches can have a daily variation. If the inaccuracy is significant, ensure the watch is sufficiently wound. Strong magnetic fields can also affect accuracy; try demagnetizing the watch at an authorized service center. Significant deviations may require a service check.
While highly scratch-resistant, ceramic can chip or crack under sharp impact. Minor surface scuffs can sometimes be buffed out by a professional. For significant damage, professional repair or replacement of the ceramic component may be necessary.
This indicates a potential breach in water resistance. Do not use the watch and take it immediately to an authorized Rado service center for inspection and seal replacement.
Setup: As an automatic watch, the Rado HyperChrome requires winding to start if it has stopped. You can wind it by gently turning the crown (located at the 3 o'clock position) clockwise about 30-40 times. Alternatively, wearing the watch will allow the automatic rotor to wind the movement through the motion of your wrist.
Compatibility: This timepiece is designed as a standalone accessory. Its primary function is timekeeping and displaying the date (if applicable, though not explicitly stated for this model). It is compatible with any attire, from formal to casual.
