Diesel DZ4665 Spiked Chronograph Brown Strap Watch - W11298
Ref. DZ4665
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 £489 across 110 Diesel watches in stock.The Spiked collection is Diesel doing what Diesel has always done with particular conviction — taking the proportions and attitude of industrial hardware and building a watch around them. The defining element here is the structural casing pieces that overlap the dial perimeter, part bezel, part sculptural frame, giving the case a presence that reads closer to jewellery than engineering even as it borrows the vocabulary of both. At 49mm and 100 grams on the wrist, this is unambiguously a large watch, and it is designed for exactly that experience. The two-tone treatment — silver-tone steel with gold-tone plating on the spiked components, repeated through the baton indices and hands — gives the dial a cohesion that stops it reading as busy despite everything competing for attention. The brown leather strap softens the industrial character slightly, and the tang buckle keeps the wrist feel honest. The luminescent coating on the hands and indices does its job, and the chronograph layout is legible enough for practical use, though the watch's real function is aesthetic. This is worn because of the way it looks arriving in a room.

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.
Will the glass scratch?
It can, over time. Mineral glass handles daily wear but will pick up fine scratches that sapphire would not.
Does it need a battery?
Yes. It is quartz, so expect a battery change every two to three years at a jeweller.
What 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.
Is it a men's or women's watch?
Listed as men's.
