Diesel DZ4692 Mega Chief Slim Chronograph Brown Leather Strap Watch - W11341
Ref. DZ4692
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 88 Diesel watches in stock.The Mega Chief Slim exists because Diesel's original Mega Chief, for all its presence, was thick enough to catch on a cuff edge. The Slim variant keeps the full 48mm width — unambiguously large on any wrist — but brings the case down to 10mm, which is a meaningful reduction for a chronograph at this scale. The result wears more like an oversized dress watch than the tool-adjacent piece the diameter might suggest. The brown sunray dial has enough layering to shift between warm amber and deep tobacco depending on where the light falls, and the structural guards framing the crown give the case some visual architecture beyond a plain round profile. On the wrist, 55mm lug-to-lug will span most wrists completely, so this is genuinely a watch for someone who wants to be noticed rather than someone who has simply forgotten to check case dimensions. The 24mm leather strap is proportionally matched and adjusts by conventional holes, with a black-finished tang buckle that sits flush rather than adding height.

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.
