knowledge at the feet of the many experts here:P Why would Rado choose to use titanium for the fold over portion of the clasp on new to me Diastar? :?The rest of the watch appears to be all SS. |

Thanks:) I'm thinking the use of Ti is for strength because of the way it snaps shut...Ti might retain the shape better and keep things snug:) |

My Diastar has solid links and a Titanium clasp also. Diff. style links but similar build. The case is the hard metal that is Tungsten or Titanium-Carbide. Hope it helps any, I would say it is due to the strength and flexibility of titanium is the reason to use it. |
