Stepping up in the same colour and case shape

Price range £119 to £399 across 75 Diesel watches in stock.

At 48mm across and 13mm thick, the Griffed sits large on the wrist — a round black ion-plated steel case with the industrial bezel clips that give the model its name. The black sunray dial carries a red and blue iridescent spectrum effect, white stick indexes, and luminous coating on both hands and markers. Three sub-dials cover 60 seconds, 30 minutes, and a 24-hour display, with the date window sitting at nine o'clock. A matte black calfskin strap, 22mm wide, fastens with a steel pin buckle.

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 explained

Will 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 compared

Does 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 compared

What 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.

Is it a men's or women's watch?

Listed as men's.
