Black Diesel Men's Watch

What sets a black men's Diesel watch apart, measured across our catalogue

We compared the black dials with our full range of men's Diesel watches. The first difference is the total look: the strap is black on six watches in ten, roughly twice as often as across the rest of the brand, and the case is black on one watch in two, compared with fewer than one in three. A black men's Diesel watch is therefore happily worn entirely black.

The second difference is size: the median diameter reaches 54 mm, compared with 51 mm for our men's Diesel watches, with a 13 mm thickness and a 26 mm strap width. Little else changes. The chronograph features on about one watch in four, as elsewhere at Diesel, and water resistance follows the brand's pattern: nearly two watches in five are rated to 3 ATM.

Leather, steel or silicone: which black men's Diesel watch to choose

Steel features on about half of the selection, leather on a little over a third, with silicone, nylon and leather combined with fabric making up a minority. A black leather men's Diesel watch remains the most dressed-up version: black leather, dark case, black dial. The black steel men's Diesel watch makes a statement with metal, featuring a steel bracelet either treated black or left silver.

For sport, a black silicone strap men's Diesel watch can be cleaned with soapy water and copes better with perspiration. As for the black leather strap men's Diesel watch, keep it dry: leather marks quickly when wet. The full range remains visible on our men's Diesel watch page.

Black and gold, red and black: the variants

Black does not always appear alone. The black and gold men's Diesel watch pairs the dark dial with a gold case or strap, on a minority of models. If gold appeals to you more, the gold men's Diesel watch selection goes further. The red and black men's Diesel watch features a red strap, a touch found on a few sport models.

Wearing a dial over 50 mm

At a median of 54 mm, a black Diesel clearly exceeds the 44 mm of a classic men's watch. On an average wrist, it wears like a substantial piece, with the strap well adjusted so it does not slide to the side. Black helps: it visually slims a large case, far more than polished steel or gold would. To compare large diameters across all brands, see our large men's watch selection.
