Diesel DZ4736 Mega Chief Slim Chronograph Bracelet Watch - W11389
Ref. DZ4736
Sits in Diesel’s upper tier here — more premium than three quarters of the Diesel watches we list, which start at £125.
Price range £125 to £399 across 86 Diesel watches in stock.The Mega Chief line built its reputation on oversized industrial design — the kind of watch that makes no apology for its footprint. The Slim variant trims the profile without shrinking the diameter, so the 48mm case sits a little closer to the wrist than the standard Mega Chief chronograph, which is the one real concession to wearability. The antique gold PVD finish across the case and three-link bracelet is paired with a navy sunray dial and a red chronograph seconds hand — a combination that reads as deliberate rather than incidental. The bolted crown-guard plate stamped with the Diesel logo is the kind of industrial detail the brand has always used to separate these watches from dressed-up fashion pieces. The bracelet adjusts by removing individual links via friction pins, so getting the fit right is a quick job at any jeweller, and the double push-button clasp keeps it secure once sized. At this diameter, the watch announces itself on the wrist, and the navy dial shifts noticeably under different light — deeper indoors, more vivid in daylight.

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