Diesel’s design aesthetic seems to follow a rule of practicality, functionality, and a little twist (no surprise from a company known for surrealist advertisements). In that respect, this Double Down Watch fits them perfectly. The Double Down has a gorgeous, sleek design, rendered in a unifying black colour - from the black ion-plated steel casing to the plastic resin strap to the boldly designed yet subtly presented dial.
The casing is not only beautifully constructed, but has an impressive 50 metres water resistance that makes it incredibly resilient, even in the most sudden and unpleasant of downpours. The dial is powered by a Japanese Quartz movement that keeps ticking on for longer, and the strap is sturdy and comfortable without being bulky or heavy. In short, this is a watch that combines style and substance to create a stunning whole.
Well worth picking one up.
