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.

The new Flow watches are also a new addition with carbon coated cases and straps, injecting an edgy and street style look to the watches. Again, colour is a strong design element with the use of orange dials for example which contrasts against the black body of the watch. The Flow Leather watch is also available with a wide cuff style leather strap and again keeps the design of the dial minimal and simple.
