Stepping up in the same colour and case shape
At 57mm across and 14mm thick, this is an unambiguously large watch built around an all-black aesthetic. The case is stainless steel finished in black PVD, and the matte black dial carries gunmetal and luminous accents across its crowded face, which displays up to four time zones simultaneously alongside three chronograph subdials tracking 60-second, 30-minute, and 24-hour intervals. The bracelet combines stainless steel links with silicone-wrapped centre links at a 28mm lug width, fastened by a push-button deployant clasp. Hands and indices carry luminous treatment for low-light legibility. A mineral crystal sits over the dial.

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?
No. At 30m it will survive rain and handwashing, but not submersion of any kind.
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?
28mm. 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.
