Rado D-Star Plasma Watch Review
Rado has a long history of materials innovation in their watches, most famously with super-hard ceramics that hold a mirror finish. Here for review is something entirely new to me, a plasma-infused ceramic watch that looks like stainless steel. Let’s take a look. This watch’s name is the Rado D-Star Gents L, Plasma Ceramic.

Rado Captain Cook 37mm & 45mm Watches For 2017 Hands-On
