Description
Certina-Rado Diamaster with rarer ‘Tiger’ dial. Fully serviced with 12m warranty.
The watch is in superb original condition, as can be seen from the photos provided. The Certina 25-651 movement has just been serviced by Simon Freese Watchmakers, and 12 months mechanical warranty is included from September 2023. (Accidental and water damage is not covered). There are some tiny marks from wear, but the watch is in overall very good condition. The rarer tiger dial is superb. The case is tungsten and titanium and then diamond polished. This is where Rado came in.
The bracelet is a fair size and will fit a wrist up to circa 7.5 inches. The clasp is original and Certina signed.
An interesting fact is that Muhammad Ali wore a Tiger dial Diamaster. In May 1976 during his visit to Munich for a fight, Muhammad Ali was chosen to be a Certina Ambassador. He received a Diamaster from Mr Herr, commercial director at the time. He was gifted the watch at the Bayerischer Hof Hotel, one of the most legendary hotels in Munich.
