DiaStar Original Skeleton 38mm
R12162153
How it wears
Wears true to its 38 mm case size
Rado DiaStar Original Skeleton 38mm measures 45 mm lug-to-lug on a 38 mm case, a lug-to-lug ratio of 1.18 against a database median of 1.18. That span is shorter than 70% of the 7,421 watches in this database and shorter than 48% of the 29 Rado watches listed.
A flat wrist width of 50 mm (1.97 in) or more keeps it in the balanced range, and from 60 mm (2.36 in) it starts to look compact. Below 45 mm (1.77 in) the lugs are likely to overhang the wrist. Flat wrist width is measured straight across the top of the wrist, not around it.
At 11.9 mm thick it sits within the typical range, thicker than 42% of the watches with a listed thickness.
