Chronograph ‘DiaMaster’ (mini)
You have acquired a chronograph that unites ageless design and ultramodern technology in an exceptional timepiece – reliable, scratchproof
and water-resistant to a depth of 30 metres (98 ft), just as one is accustomed to from Rado watches. The chronograph functions are easy to
operate and enable time measurements accurate to 1⁄10th of a second.

Approximate battery life: 2 years.
