Badass yet Gentlemanly Watches by Diesel
Scroll through the range of Diesel watches as I have done and one thing will be clear...these watches are some of the boldest, badass watches around. There are some great bold designs, in true Diesel style, they are not holding anything back however Diesel have also used some classic, timeless touches in their collection. Their collection of watches are truly industrial, robust, durable and stylish - the kind of watch that Robocop would wear! The biggest badass of all robots...(discuss!).
Every single watch that Diesel has designed has something uniquely bold on it, from the watch face, the numbering, the colour scheme or the watch strap and you are guaranteed not to find these type of watches anywhere else. It's a chance for all gentlemen out there to look at their fun side and own something truly different.
The Diesel watches range from around £150 upwards (although you can find a few for cheaper) so they are firmly in the mid-range of watch prices where there is a lot of competition. Luckily for Diesel, they have got a collection of watches where you can find true value at every angle. Whilst other brands keep things simple and classic, Diesel put themselves out there and demand to be different. If I compare like for like priced watches, Diesel tend to be for the more rugged gent someone who dares to be different and doesn't just follow the crowd.
Only the brave which is synonymous Diesel quote has never been so prevalent than when etched on the back of these watches. These watches are designed to showcase the mechanical functions in a super cool design but don't just take my word for it; head down to your nearest Diesel store and check them out for yourself.
I've chosen this vibrant blue watch face design as I haven't got anything like it in my personal watch collection and what is the point in always choosing the same styles. Looking closer into this particular watch and there are lots of tiny Diesel branded touches, a signature of their quality. If you would like to get a realistic representation of the size of the watch it is 49x54mm with a thickness of 13mm. The casing and watch strap are stainless steel in a brushed metal finish and the movement of the all important dials are quartz/chrono. Finally this watch is also water resistant up to 10 ATM and comes with a two year guarantee.
