Diesel Watches

Diesel's signature oversized style, at outlet prices: the Mega Chief and the Mr Daddy 2.0 , the two ranges our customers choose most, plus rarer designs such as the Griffed or the Uber Chief. Our Diesel watches are new, authentic and covered by a 2-year warranty. For a men's model, see our men's Diesel watch collection .

Our Diesel expertise

History & brand DNA

Diesel was founded in 1978 in Molvena, in the Veneto, around Renzo Rosso. The brand now has its headquarters in Breganze and belongs to the OTB group, short for Only The Brave, the motto engraved on the small plate on the dial of our Mega Chief and Mr Daddy. Diesel does not make its watches itself. Since 1999 and the Diesel Time Frames collection, they have been manufactured and distributed under licence by the American company Fossil Group. According to Fossil's latest annual report, this watch licence runs until 31 December 2027. The style comes from denim and the workshop: oversized cases, exposed screws, steel plates and quartz movements.

Iconic models

Two ranges account for most of our Diesel sales, almost equally. The Mr Daddy 2.0 (57 mm) shows four time zones and a chronograph on the same dial, beneath a ring of eight exposed screws: it is the largest watch in our Diesel selection. The Mega Chief (51 mm) is a chronograph with a tenth-of-a-second subdial, recognisable by the DIESEL plate that protects its crown. Behind them, the Griffed (48 mm), with its case held by claws, and the Uber Chief (55 mm), crossed by a solid steel bridge, appeal to those looking for a rarer design. More compact lines, such as the Stinger or the D-Sruptor, sell noticeably more slowly with us.

What we check before dispatch

Size: on a Diesel, check the length as well as the diameter. A Mega Chief is 51 mm wide and about 59 mm long including the lugs, while a Mr Daddy 2.0 is 57 mm by 66 mm. On a slim wrist, the Griffed or the Spiked is the better choice. Colour: all-black is our best-selling finish. Gold, which is less common in stock, also sells quickly for each model and is the Diesel colour most in demand in France. Polished silver sells more slowly. Use: all our Diesel watches are quartz. The water resistance listed on our product pages depends on the range: 10 ATM (100 m) on most Mega Chiefs, and 3 ATM (30 m) on the Mr Daddy, which should not be worn for swimming. Authenticity: the Diesel reference starts with DZ followed by four digits. On the Mr Daddy, it is repeated on the small plate on the dial at 6 o'clock, and the motto Only The Brave appears on the plate at 12 o'clock.

Why buy at outlet prices?

Because our Diesel watches are new, authentic, covered by a 2-year warranty and returnable within 14 days, and because this page is based on what our customers actually buy. The ranges, sizes and colours highlighted here are the ones that sell, not a copied catalogue.

Frequently asked questions: Diesel

+Who makes Diesel watches?

Fossil Group, under licence: the American company has manufactured and distributed Diesel watches since 1999, and its latest annual report states that the licence is valid until 31 December 2027. Diesel, owned by the Italian OTB group, provides the design style.

+What does 'Only The Brave' on the dial mean?

It is the name of the OTB group (Only The Brave), Diesel's parent company, chaired by its founder Renzo Rosso. The motto is engraved on the small plate at 12 o'clock on the Mega Chief and Mr Daddy.

+Are Diesel watches automatic?

No, all our Diesel watches have quartz movements: there is no winding, only a battery to replace from time to time, including on multi-time-zone models such as the Mr Daddy 2.0.

+Can I swim with a Diesel watch?

It depends on the range. Our product pages list 10 ATM (100 m) for most Mega Chiefs, which is suitable for swimming, but 3 ATM (30 m) for the Mr Daddy, which only withstands rain and splashes. Check the water resistance on each model's page.

+What is the largest Diesel watch?

In our selection, the Mr Daddy 2.0: 57 mm in diameter and 66 mm long including the lugs. The Mega Chief, at 51 mm in diameter, is still imposing but is easier to wear day to day.
