Diesel DZ4689 Mega Chief Slim Chronograph Black IP Bracelet Watch - W11339
Ref. DZ4689
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.The Mega Chief Slim exists as a direct answer to the obvious problem with Diesel's Mega Chief line: at 48mm across, the standard models wore as thick as they were wide. Scaling the case to 10mm keeps the footprint large and confrontational while letting it lie flat enough against the wrist to be practical rather than theatrical. The dial is the more interesting surface here — an iridescent sunray finish that shifts under moving light, framed by the characteristic crown guard bars that jut over the dial edge and make the case feel structural rather than simply large. All of it in black on black, so the sunray effect reads as texture rather than colour. The deployant clasp with its double push-button release is worth noting on a bracelet this substantial, since it actually stays put.

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