Stepping up in the same colour and case shape
The Vert sits firmly in Diesel's oversized, all-black idiom — a case built for visual weight, finished in matte PVD so the steel disappears beneath the coating rather than announcing itself. At 44mm it reads large, but 11mm of thickness is genuinely restrained for a watch in this mould, and that slimness is what makes it wearable rather than purely decorative. The sunray black dial catches directional light in a way a flat-painted surface would not, giving the all-black palette some movement without breaking its mood. The integrated leather strap is the detail worth knowing about before purchase: it runs directly into the lug design rather than accepting standard spring bars, so replacement straps need to come from Diesel directly. The single-prong buckle matches the case hardware exactly, which keeps the stealth effect intact around the wrist.

Learn more about Diesel
Renzo Rosso founded Diesel in Molvena in 1978, building a denim brand on deliberate irreverence. The watches, produced under licence by Fossil Group, carry that attitude directly.
Where most fashion watches aim for restraint, Diesel does the opposite: oversized cases frequently past 50mm, blacked-out finishes, exposed screws, multiple crowns, and dials that prioritise visual impact over legibility. The Mr Daddy models stack four time zones onto a single dial.
Whether that appeals is a matter of taste, but the design intent is consistent and unmistakable, which is more than can be said for much of the category.

Frequently asked questions, and things you should know about this watch
Can I swim with it?
Showering yes, swimming no. 50m covers splashes and brief immersion, but a swimming stroke generates well above the pressure that figure describes.
Water resistance explainedWill the glass scratch?
It can, over time. Mineral glass handles daily wear but will pick up fine scratches that sapphire would not.
Sapphire, mineral and acrylic comparedDoes it need a battery?
Yes. It is quartz, so expect a battery change every two to three years at a jeweller.
Quartz, automatic and solar comparedWhat size strap does it take?
22mm. Any strap of that width will fit, and on most modern watches quick-release bars make the swap a two-minute job with no tools.
