FAQ
Q: How does the solar-powered movement work?
A: The Diesel Cliffhanger DZ2168 uses solar technology that converts both natural and artificial light into electrical energy to power the watch. When exposed to light, the solar cell beneath the dial charges an internal battery that stores power, eliminating the need for regular battery replacements. For optimal performance, expose the watch to light regularly—even indoor lighting will help maintain the charge.
Q: Is this watch made from recycled materials?
A: Yes, the Cliffhanger DZ2168 features a case and strap constructed from red recycled ocean plastic (RPET). Diesel has incorporated recovered ocean plastic into this timepiece as part of their commitment to sustainable watchmaking, giving new life to materials that would otherwise pollute marine environments.
Q: Can I wear this watch while swimming or showering?
A: No, the Cliffhanger DZ2168 has a water resistance rating of 3 ATM, which means it is splash resistant only. It can withstand minor exposure to water such as hand washing or light rain, but it is not suitable for swimming, showering, or any water immersion. Remove the watch before water-based activities.
Q: What is the lug-to-lug measurement and will it fit my wrist?
A: The lug-to-lug height is 46mm to 47mm, which is the total vertical measurement from top to bottom of the case. This dimension determines how the watch sits on your wrist. Generally, a lug-to-lug under 50mm suits most wrist sizes comfortably. We recommend visiting our Mall of the South boutique to try the watch on for the perfect fit assessment.
Q: Does this watch come with an international warranty?
A: Yes, the Diesel Cliffhanger DZ2168 includes a 2-year international Diesel warranty when purchased from Cassim & Co., an authorised Diesel retailer. The warranty covers manufacturing defects in materials and workmanship, and is valid from the date of purchase with your original receipt.
Q: Can the strap be replaced or adjusted?
A: The integrated recycled plastic strap on the DZ2168 is designed as part of the watch's overall aesthetic. While it cannot be easily replaced with standard straps due to its integrated design, our watch servicing team at Cassim & Co. can assess adjustment and repair options if needed. Visit us at Mall of the South for personalised assistance.
Q: How should I charge my solar-powered watch initially?
A: When you first receive your Diesel Cliffhanger, expose the watch dial to direct sunlight or bright artificial light for several hours to ensure the internal battery is fully charged. Once charged, regular exposure to ambient light during daily wear is typically sufficient to maintain power. If the watch has been stored in darkness for extended periods, it may need recharging before use.

Care Guide
- Solar Charging: Expose your watch to natural or artificial light regularly to maintain optimal charge. Direct sunlight provides the most efficient charging, but ambient indoor lighting during daily wear is usually sufficient.
- Water Exposure: With a 3 ATM rating, this watch is splash resistant only. Remove before swimming, showering, or water sports. Wipe dry immediately if exposed to moisture.
- Cleaning: Clean the recycled plastic case and strap with a soft, slightly damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals, solvents, or abrasive materials that could damage the finish or printed branding.
- Storage: When not wearing your Cliffhanger, store it in a location where it can receive some light exposure to maintain the solar charge. Avoid storing in complete darkness for extended periods.
- Temperature: Avoid exposing your watch to extreme temperatures, direct heat sources, or prolonged sun exposure, as this may affect the solar cell efficiency and plastic materials.
- Impact Protection: While designed for daily wear, protect your watch from significant impacts, drops, or knocks that could damage the movement or case.
- Strap Care: The recycled ocean plastic strap is durable but should be kept clean and dry. Check periodically for signs of wear, especially around the pin holes and buckle.
- Professional Servicing: For any technical issues, solar cell concerns, or strap replacements, visit Cassim & Co. at Mall of the South. Our authorised service team can provide genuine Diesel parts and expert maintenance.
