The ‘cult’ of Diesel and their unusual watches!
Diesel is a label that seems to ooze ‘cool’ from every pore. With the likes of David Beckham, Sienna Miller and Megan Fox wearing their clothes on a daily basis, Diesel is one of the affordable ‘high street’ brands that appeals to both Joe Public and Hollywood A-Listers. Launched in 1978 by an Italian named Renzo Rosso, Diesel’s focus was very much on producing quality jeans aimed at the youth market. Since its inception the label has continued to grow stronger year by year. With quirky advertising, clothes and accessories of a superior quality and a seemingly universal acknowledgment of the ‘cult of Diesel’ the brand has found itself with a strong foothold in the retail market today.
Famed for their innovative denim, Diesel also produce delicious smelling scents and a great wristwear portfolio. Diesel watches are sturdy, generally chunky, occasionally unisex and always ahead of the trend. Known for their ability to stay one step ahead of the competition, expect the unexpected and the very best from Diesel. Where else would you find a hybrid watch that is styled one half as a men’s sports watch with a brushed stainless steel bracelet and the other half as a city gents leather wristwatch?! This original watch known as DZ4160 has to be seen to be believed!
Another model – DZ9043, features 3 separate time movements on 2 faces built into the watch all wrapped within a chunky stainless steel multi-link bracelet.
If you’re a fan of Diesel’s laid back, hip style then we’d urge you to check out their Diesel watches. Designed for both men and women, Diesel watches look great as a causal accessory to any outfit and make an interesting talking point due to their occasional futuristic and unusual appearance!
