Diesel DZ4709 Spiked Chronograph Bracelet Watch - W11372
Ref. DZ4709
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 a single unapologetic idea: scale as identity. The 49mm case is not incidentally large — it is the point of departure, and the architectural steel claws that reach across the crystal frame make it read wider still. This is a watch that announces itself before anyone asks. The black sunray dial runs three sub-registers for the chronograph, with the date set at a slant near four o'clock rather than dropped into the conventional upright window — a small detail that suits the surrounding aggression well. The movement inside is a Japanese quartz calibre supplied by Seiko Instruments, which at this kind of watch is the sensible choice: accurate, low-maintenance, and indifferent to neglect. The heavy link bracelet carries the case without feeling mismatched, and the folding clasp with push-button release takes removable links for sizing — worth knowing given the wrist presence involved.

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.
Is it a men's or women's watch?
Listed as men's.
