Diesel DZ4629 Spiked Two Tone Chronograph Bracelet Watch - W11273
Ref. DZ4629
Sits in Diesel’s upper tier here — more premium than three quarters of the Diesel watches we list, which start at £105.
Price range £105 to £399 across 91 Diesel watches in stock.Diesel's Spiked collection is built around an industrial design language that borrows from architecture and streetwear in roughly equal measure, and the DZ4629 makes no attempt to be subtle about it. Structural steel claws reach over the edges of the silver sunray dial, giving the case an almost mechanical, cage-like presence that reads as deliberate provocation rather than decoration. At 49mm and 205 grams, this is a watch that announces itself, and anyone who puts it on should know that going in. The bracelet reinforces the point: a chain inlay runs down the centre links, and the alternating silver and gold-tone elements carry the two-tone finish through from case to clasp in a way that holds together as a considered whole. The push-button deployant fastens securely and adjusts by removing friction pins — straightforward once you have done it once.

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.
