Diesel DZ7333 Mr Daddy 2.0: Test, Review and Complete Manual in 2026

Is the Diesel DZ7333 Mr Daddy 2.0 gold XXL worth it in 2026? With its oversized 57 mm gold steel case, its 4 time zones and its 1/10 sec chronograph, this imposing Diesel watch divides opinion. I spent a full day wearing it to test its readability, measure its weight on the wrist, and find out whether this fashion watch with ostentatious style is too large for most people, or whether it is precisely this massive and unsubtle presence that makes it a success.

My impressions after a day on the wrist

First impression out of the box: it is truly imposing. When you take the DZ7333 out of its box, you immediately perceive the density of the object. The 240 grammes measured on a scale give a reassuring, almost industrial sensation of mass. This is very different from a standard 42 mm quartz watch at around 130 grammes.

After several hours on the wrist, the DZ7333 is clearly felt through its significant weight on the wrist, but this is precisely what gives this massive watch impression typical of the Mr Daddy range. After a full day, here are the honest observations I can share:

If you are hesitant because you have a wrist between 16.5 and 17.5 cm, my advice is to try it in a shop before purchasing. At 18.5 cm wrist circumference (mine), it aligns almost perfectly between the lugs; at 17 cm, it overhangs laterally by 5 to 7 millimetres on each side, which becomes visible.

57 mm vs standard watches: size comparison

The DZ7333 is part of the very restricted club of watches beyond 55 mm, where you find almost exclusively Diesel Mr Daddy statement watches and certain Invicta models. This is 15 millimetres more than a Submariner and 17 mm more than a standard dress Tissot: a difference you feel immediately on the wrist.

Complete specifications (the table we would have liked to see everywhere)

The manual decoded: 18 functions, 6 crowns, 4 time zones

The 4 time zones (TIME 1 to TIME 4)

1. TIME 1: Central main dial. Hour, minutes and date at 3 o'clock. Adjustment via the main crown (at 3 o'clock). Only dial with date function.
2. TIME 2: Sub-dial at top left. 2nd time zone, 24-hour scale. Crown at 10 o'clock. Ideal for New York.
3. TIME 3: Sub-dial at bottom left. 3rd time zone, 24-hour scale. Crown at 8 o'clock. Tokyo or Sydney.
4. TIME 4: Sub-dial in the middle left. 4th time zone, standard 12-hour scale. Crown at 9 o'clock.

The chronograph (counters 1/10 sec, 60 min, 45 sec)

Right side: main crown in the centre + two pushers. Upper pusher = chronograph start/stop. Lower pusher = reset of the three counters (1/10 sec, 60 min, 45 sec). The 1/10 sec counter only appears when paused after stop.

Honest weaknesses of the DZ7333

Many e-commerce reviews look like disguised sales pages. Here is an honest critique, based on actual wear and customer service feedback observed on this reference since its launch in 2014:

For which wrist: size chart

Who is the Diesel DZ7333 really for?

Alternatives: Invicta Bolt, Mega Chief and other options in 2026

The DZ7333 remains the credible alternative to Invicta Bolt at equivalent outlet pricing, with a more identifiable design and a more recognised fashion brand. If water resistance matters (swimming, pool), go for Invicta Pro Diver Gold (200 m); if you want all-gold statement with a genuine multi time zone complication, the DZ7333 wins out.

Final verdict: should you buy the Diesel DZ7333 in 2026?

Our verdict after a week on the wrist is nuanced but clear: the Diesel DZ7333 Mr Daddy 2.0 gold XXL is probably the most accomplished urban statement watch in its segment in 2026, and one of the best references for apparent oversize chronographs at outlet price. Its defining quality comes down to two words: visual presence. It is the watch you put on to exist, not to go unnoticed.

Its limitation comes down to one word: nature. It is not a Swiss watchmaking watch, it is a premium fashion accessory that has the visual grammar of one. If this distinction matters to you, look instead at a Tissot, Hamilton or Frédérique Constant. Otherwise, the DZ7333 does the job better than most of its direct rivals in the segment.
