Diesel DZ7498 Mr. Daddy Slim Chronograph Bracelet Watch - W11390
Ref. DZ7498
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 Mr. Daddy line made its name on sheer scale — an industrial design language of exposed screws, multiple crowns and stacked time zones that wore its excess openly. The Slim takes that same brief and strips back the case depth to 8mm, which is a genuine achievement at 54mm across: most watches running four independent time zones at this diameter sit considerably thicker, and this one disappears under a cuff in a way its predecessors do not. The black textured dial is busy by design, with red accents, a date window at three and a steel bar running a fourth time zone beside the brand's "Only the Brave" motto. Four crowns along the case flank drive each zone independently via Miyota quartz — the same battery-powered movements Fossil Group fits across its fashion houses, accurate and built for years without attention. The 26mm bracelet is proportionally correct for the case and adjusts by removing individual links in the conventional way.

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