Diesel DZ4721 Mega Chief Slim Bracelet Watch - W11381
Ref. DZ4721
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 103 Diesel watches in stock.The Mega Chief has always been built around a certain kind of confrontational bulk, and the Slim sits apart from that lineage by asking what happens when you keep the diameter and strip back the depth. At 48mm, the stance stays unambiguously large, but the reduced case thickness — well below what the standard Mega Chief carries — means it lies noticeably flatter against the wrist and will pass under a shirt cuff in a way earlier models simply will not. The deep sunray blue dial rewards angled light, shifting against the raw brushed steel of the case and bracelet. Diesel's signature industrial dial furniture, the guards framing the date window and the chronograph pushers, remains intact: the watch looks like it belongs to the family without carrying its weight. The Miyota movement underneath is chosen for exactly this application — unfussy, accurate, and built to run without attention for years inside a watch worn as much for its appearance as its function.

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.
