Diesel DZ7492 Mr Daddy Slim Black IP Brown Leather Strap Watch - W11344
Ref. DZ7492
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.The Mr Daddy Slim exists because Diesel's original Daddy case, for all its presence, sits thick enough on the wrist to catch on cuffs and resist a jacket sleeve. The Slim line addresses that directly: at 12mm the case is meaningfully flatter than the standard Daddy, and at 54mm across it remains an unambiguously large watch, so the trade-off is comfort rather than scale. The dial is genuinely busy in the way Diesel intends — a full chronograph, two jump-hour disc displays for independent time zones, and a sub-seconds register occupy the brown face in layers that reward a second look without being immediately legible at a glance. It is a watch worn for its architecture as much as its function. The black PVD case holds the brown dial and brown leather strap in a palette that reads as cohesive rather than contrasting, and the tang buckle closure is straightforward to adjust through the standard hole spacing.

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?
26mm. 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.
