The precision of "authority in ceramics" cultivated through 27 years of pursuit

The bezel of the D-Star released in 2011 (above) and the finished watch (below). The material is Ceramos, which is 90% high-tech ceramic and 10% metal. The bezel above is made by injection molding the Ceramos and then simply sintering it. Because it is now possible to precisely mold complex shapes, the finishing cutout only requires about 1/10 mm. Looking at the cutout where the case and bracelet connect, the finished product has a slightly larger surface area, which indicates that the surface was slightly cut out for finishing purposes.

The reason why Rado is called the "authority in ceramics" is because of the "precision" of its ceramics.
So what exactly does the precision of ceramics refer to? One thing is the quality of the ceramic itself.
Unless the particles of the raw materials are uniform and highly pure, the ceramics will not be able to achieve high hardness after sintering.
However, what is even more difficult is the know-how to realize the complex case shape using only injection molding and sintering, without relying on cutting.
This is where Rado's true strength lies, having spent 27 years developing high-tech ceramics.
