Stepping up in the same colour and case shape
Diesel's Stinger collection has always leaned into the industrial — oversized proportions, hard edges, hardware borrowed as much from machinery as from watchmaking. This reference keeps that character but pulls back slightly in thickness: at 10mm, the case sits flatter than most watches of 44mm breadth, which prevents it from stacking awkwardly at the wrist despite the wide lug span. The black dial reads clearly against the matte and polished steel surround, and the red seconds hand gives the piece its tension — that single accent against monochrome is a considered choice, not decoration for its own sake. The multi-link bracelet adjusts via integrated push-pins, so sizing is done without tools, and the dual-push deployment clasp keeps things flush when it is on.

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?
24mm. 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.
Will it fit my wrist?
Lug-to-lug is 52mm, which suits wrists from roughly 17.5cm (7 inches) upward.
Lug-to-lug decides fit more than case diameter does.
How to size a watch to your wristIs it a men's or women's watch?
Listed as men's.
