Black Dice Watches for urban devotees
A roll call of Black Dice watches makes us think of a Guy Ritchie film or an episode of the great Baltimore drama, The Wire. The names of the watches are similar to the language used in either, words like; Rookie, Grind, Contraband, Roller, The Showman, Holster, Flow, Hustle, Heist, Player. Black Dice may or may not have taken inspiration from gangster films and gritty dramas, but one thing’s for sure, the label know their market and have a firm idea of who they are targeting!
Black Dice watches appeal to big hitters, party people, design lovers and those involved in urban music. This list is not exclusive, but it is true to say the aesthetics of Black Dice wristwear do attract people with a distinct urban sense of style. We’ve mentioned before that recent BRIT Award winners, the JLS boys, are fans of Black Dice watches, as are a host of other well-known celebrities including Tinchy Stryder and Alesha Dixon.
Since the brand launched, in 2006, their watches have been featured regularly in a wide range of media publications, from The Daily Telegraph to Maxim and FHM. The Independent newspaper even included Black Dice in a list of its 50 best watches – not bad for a relatively new urban watch label!
Black Dice pride themselves on using high quality materials and all wristwear has Swiss quartz movement. The designs are modern, chunky, flashy with an urban twist and very hip. These are stylish, impressive watches that are the perfect accessory for any urban conscious guy or gal.

The Hot Watch Brand of 2009: Black Dice
Black Dice is the one hot brand that has raced to the forefront of the fashion industry during 2009 and having been only launched in 2006, the brand’s rise to fame has been incredibly speedy. Black Dice watches are hugely popular with many celebrities including boy band JLS, Tinchy Stryder, Carrie & David Grant from Fame Academy, Jesse Metcalfe, Noel Clark and Alesha Dixon to name only a few. People love the fresh and innovative designs Black Dice watches have to offer and with the brand being noted for its use of only the most modern design methods and high tech functions, the watches have a timeless appeal that will still look stylish in years to come.
There are many Black Dice watches that look great according to a variety of style preferences, all of which are urban inspired with clean lines and strong dynamics but the aesthetic and functional features vary between either plastic or stainless steel cases with gold, silver leather, rubber or stainless steel straps. Many of the watches also include material and colour variations such as the new Grind watch which is available with either leather straps (black or bro
wn) or a carbon coated stainless steel strap. These features really allow you to be selective about your watch and choose according to your individual style. Black Dice is one brand that ensures it provides customers with as many variations of one design as possible. All Black Dice watches use quartz movements and Swiss in some designs, which vary from simple three hand movements through to chronographs and LED displays. In terms of function, all Black Dice digital watches including the famous Mix Tape, include an alarm, backlight and a date display.
At the forefront of innovative and cutting edge design, Black Dice watches are constantly challenging conventional design methods and never fail to impress with their ever evolving unique designs. The exclusive Entourage watch for example has a gold toned reverse multi functional digital display in addition to a dual time display directly underneath. The brown and gold colour of the watch gives it an almost antique finish but the modern technology completely contradicts this which makes for an incredibly original and dynamic watch. The exclusive Hustle watch is also one to look out for with its triangular shaped dial, large feature numbers and wide black leather
strap. The very aptly named Showman Black Dice watch is striking with its white ceramic bracelet strap and stunning gold and black dial which creates a fresh and versatile look with that strong hint of Black Dice urban sophistication.
Ultimately Black Dice watches with the use of only the finest materials and superior inner mechanisms and functions, combine unique and eye catching style with elite technology. This has made the brand one which is now regarded as extremely sought after and favoured by many celebs. A Black Dice watch allows you to express your own individual style and makes for the perfect investment watch that in 10 years time, will still ensure that you are leading the fash pack!

Colour up Your Winter with Black Dice Watches
So it may be cold, dark and rainy in typical winter style but the great thing about the cooler seasons is that they really allow you to make a style statement and experiment with a variety of trends. Colour is the perfect way to brighten up your winter blues and whilst we have seen a lot of autumnal colours on the catwalk clothing wise, the main accessory related trend is the use of bold and bright colours – and the more vibrant the better! Black Dice is one brand in particular which has incorporated this into some of its recent watch additions and even with a plain outfit, one of these watches will inject just the right amount of wow factor to grab attention and get your style noticed.
The new colourful Guru Black Dice watches are one of the new additions and in hot pink, blue/turquoise, green, yellow as well as the more understated black and white these are definitely what you may call an eye catching number.
In a unique slim rectangular shape and featuring an ultra bright white LED system which you can also programme to display your own personal messages these satisfy your style needs as well as your geek/gadget ones!
The Don watches which are available in hot pink, sunshine yellow, and vibrant green as well as black and white are also new additions to the Black Dice watch family and are equally as show stopping with their neon toned finish. With bang on trend wide rubber straps with funky grooved detailing and a large slick round dial which incorporates a splash of colour, these look incredibly striking on the wrist and would compliment your look, adding a sense of unique and vibrant style. Again, the black and white versions are a little more understated but definitely as stylish and effective.
Black Dice is a brand which constantly surprises us with bursts of new styles and innovative designs. Capturing key trends in a variety of styles there is definitely something to suit every fashion preference. The new Grind watches for example, feature chic leather straps and are ultra sophisticated and sleek. Despite being aesthetically different from the colourful w
atches mentioned above, the Black Dice cool and funky tone is evident in each and every model and gives you the option to be as bold or understated as you wish.
Colour is a fun way of refreshing your winter style and is definitely the hot accessory trend of the moment. The Black Dice watches which incorporate this ensure that the watches will look great for seasons to come however and will certainly make for that wow statement accessory.

Eye-Popping Black Dice Watches
Have we got a treat for all urban watch fans this Winter. New to Shade Station is Black Dice’s latest range of very cool looking watches. Known for their street edge and celebrity fanbase, Black Dice have come a long way since their creation in 2006. Nowadays their watches can be seen adorning the A-List at award ceremonies and X-Factor live shows, to name just a few.
Black Dice originally aimed to seduce those working in the music industry and people involved in all aspects of urban culture, however eye-popping wristwear designs have meant their appeal has travelled beyond this niche market. Their watches are chunky, eye-catching and technologically innovative – however, generally mute in colour. Not so now. Take a look at the new Black Dice range on our shop pages. Bursts of neon jump off the screen, interspersed with reliable black designs and another new introduction to Black Dice watches - brown leather croc wriststraps!
So bright it hurts watches, include; ‘The Don’ and ‘Guru’. Produced in shocking colours, these flouro watches are guaranteed to get you noticed. We particuarly like the neon pink Don, with it’s grooved thick rubber strap and contrasting black face – although designed for men, it would look equally good on any woman with a unique, hip sense of style.
‘The Guru’ is a little smaller and more streamlined, with an elongated rectangular digital face on a brightly coloured rubber strap – choose from turqouise, canary yellow, orange, pink and vivid green for arm candy to die for.
Just like LTD Watches, Black Dice are paving the way for a new exciting generation of in-yer-face, fun wristwear.

The brand was primarily launched as Zuccarello had noticed a clear gap in the watch market and wanted to provide consumers with something different. Currently the industry comprised of watches which were either high end luxury and incredibly expensive or watches which fell into the sports/fashion sector whereby style and function are of equal priority. Not wanting to compromise on quality, Zuccarello had the ambition of creating watches which were trendy, chic and sophisticated but with a more edgy and urban appeal, and which take inspiration from current street culture and urban music.
The general vibe of Black Dice watches are urban street and thus it has a young following and a favourite brand of many celebrities. The various styles fall into the price bracket of between designer and high street and thus they are accessible to a wider target consumer but still have that high quality association.

With a hint of retro appeal combined with contemporary technology this watch looks striking in addition to incorporating innovative and fun features.
Black Dice Watches – The Showman
This very aptly named and exclusive Black Dice Showman watch is definitely a real show stopper. This watch features a crisp and cool polished white ceramic case with a diamante studded bezel for that extra bit of bling. With many celebrities sporting the white watch look, this model is particularly urban street style and also features a sub dial chronograph.

This is a classic example of how Black Dice combine effortless street trend with chic and sophisticated style.
