The Rado Anatom Gets a Style Upgrade with High-tech Ceramic Bracelets

It’s in the name: Anatom, from the word “anatomical”, which relates to the physical structure of living things. This is a watch designed with pure ergonomics in mind, its sleek case and integrated strap embracing the natural contours of the wrist. Even the sapphire crystal is curved, seamlessly sitting edge to edge atop the case. Introduced in 1983, the Rado Anatom (then prefixed with “DiaStar” for familiarity) impressed with its futuristic design, its stylish sci-fi look and feel pushing the boundaries of novel watch formats that was trendy at the time. Four decades on, the Anatom leaps into the 21st century with a high-tech ceramic case, textured rubber band and new automatic movement.

This modern evolution continues in 2025 with high-tech ceramic bracelets, going back to the Anatom’s original appearance as a single band of fluid metal. Crafted in polished black or plasma high-tech ceramic, the flowing links are juxtaposed with steel or gold-coloured inserts that echo the striped architecture of the earliest models, complemented by horizontal lines on the dial. Furthermore, the metallic surface of plasma ceramic (achieved by superheating the material in a plasma oven) means that this latest edition looks closer to the 1983 icon than ever. We’re almost at a true revival — funny how progress brings us back to the past. 

Nevertheless, technological upgrades keep the Anatom firmly planted in the future. The use of high-tech ceramic bestows magnificent durability and scratch-resistance while being elegantly light and smooth to touch. The hypoallergenic material even adapts to body temperatures, becoming a natural extension of the wearer’s anatomy. Inside, the automatic R766 calibre is equipped with an antimagnetic Nivachron hairspring and provides a robust 72-hours of power reserve.
