True Square

The square shape Rado made its own, today made from a single block of high-tech ceramic

Model History

The square shape has a long history at Rado, which starting with the 1986 Integral began offering high-tech ceramic watches with squared geometric cases, far removed from the round shapes then dominant in Swiss watchmaking. That aesthetic choice, together with the material research accompanying it, became over the years a second defining trait of the brand, alongside the DiaStar's scratchproof legacy.

The True collection, introduced with the True Thinline and its declared debt to the geometric proportions favored by architect Le Corbusier, picks up this legacy and develops it around a particular construction principle: the case and bracelet made as a single block of injection-molded high-tech ceramic. The True Square applies this same principle to the brand's historic square shape, becoming Rado's first square watch built with this monobloc technique.

The result is a watch lighter and more comfortable on the wrist than its compact appearance would suggest, available in numerous variants — skeletonized, with an "open heart" visible movement, with diamond indices — and in diameters ranging from smaller versions aimed at a female audience up to larger automatic sizes, often enriched by collaborations with designers from outside the brand.

Fun Fact

The high-tech ceramic used for the True Square is not just an aesthetic flourish — it is also hypoallergenic and naturally scratch-resistant, the same combination of lightness and hardness that, in a different material, had already made the DiaStar famous six decades earlier.
