Big is Beautiful – Diesel Timepieces

Bold, chunky, in-the-face designs of Diesel brand of watches don’t fail to impress even the most fastidious of perfectionists out there. The Diesel brand has carved a niche for itself way up there in the hallowed halls of fashion. Cutting edge design concepts combined with classic themes of the past to create watches of the future – this is what would aptly describe the brand’s philosophy.

In 1978, Italian designer Renzo Rosso founded the Diesel brand. The brand name was chosen as an analogy to the fact that during the oil crisis in the late seventies, diesel proved to be an alternative fuel source. With the Diesel name, Rosso wanted to make a statement that the brand was an alternative to the other popular clothing brands of those times.

Today, Diesel has created a watch collection that is distinctive in its bold and unique designs that are recognisable all over the world. In fact, you don’t need to see the logo to recognise its a Diesel timepiece. Take for instance the Diesel Mega Chief DZ4495 Chronograph Quartz Men’s Watch. At 53mm case diameter, this is a truly colossal timepiece. Meant for the large wristed gents who love the bold and chunky look that the Mega Chief presents, this is a robust and rugged timepiece. Although it does not offer too many complicated features, it packs a punch in terms of looks.

The black stainless-steel case provides a good contrast to the green dial. The dial is clear and readable although it houses three sub dials denoting the chronograph function. The hands and stick indices are filled with luminous paint for easy readability in the dark.

Like most of the Diesel watches, the Mega Chief has a quartz movement and a scratch resistant mineral crystal. The date window on the Mega Chief appears obscured by the Diesel logo, making it difficult to read. A good quality black leather band with buckle closure completes the picture.     

Diesel being a fashion brand does not have its own manufacturing facility. Instead, the brand has partnered with the Fossil Group for the production of their timepieces. Although Diesel watches are more about making a fashion statement rather than the mechanics of it, the brand has managed to combine good quality with affordability and blended it with style. With a Diesel watch you can be assured of a reliable and durable watch that will last for a few years.   The Diesel brand has been marketing its products in shopping malls and stores, however online shopping has allowed it to reach customers worldwide. Zeta Watches, the American online watch store offers an array of Diesel watches for men with heavy discounts.
