The Mega Chief Slim exists as a direct answer to the criticism most often levelled at the original Mega Chief: that it was too thick to live with daily. At 48mm across it makes no concession on presence, yet the 10mm case profile is genuinely unusual at this footprint, and the result slides under a shirt cuff in a way the original line simply could not manage. The grey sunray dial uses blue accenting on the seconds hand to give the chronograph function a visual anchor without cluttering the layout, and the luminous indices mean it remains readable when the light drops. Crown guards and structural dial elements carry enough of the Mega Chief character that the family resemblance is immediate, while the deployant clasp on the bracelet makes it faster to put on and take off than the size might suggest.

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 comparedWill it fit my wrist?
Lug-to-lug is 55mm, which suits wrists from roughly 18.5cm (7¼ inches) upward.
Lug-to-lug decides fit more than case diameter does.
