Description
The Diesel Mega Chief DZ4308 is a quartz chronograph with a 59 mm stainless steel case, black dial and stainless steel bracelet, designed for bold wrist presence.
Case & crystal
The round stainless steel case measures 59 mm in diameter and 12 mm in thickness, delivering substantial wrist presence. Diesel has not specified the crystal material for this reference.
Dial
A black dial carries applied hour markers and a red seconds hand that adds a contrasting accent. Three chronograph sub-dials provide stopwatch functionality, while a date window sits at the 4 o'clock position, balancing the layout without disrupting the sub-dial arrangement.
Movement
The DZ4308 is powered by a quartz movement, offering reliable timekeeping and chronograph complications alongside the date display. Quartz calibres require minimal maintenance and deliver consistent accuracy over long intervals.
Bracelet & fit
A stainless steel bracelet matches the case material and closes with a deployment clasp, providing secure wear and streamlined aesthetics. The bracelet integrates with the lugs to maintain the watch's cohesive industrial design language.
On the wrist
At 59 mm, this Mega Chief occupies a commanding footprint suited to larger wrists and casual or sport-oriented occasions. The 12 mm case thickness remains manageable despite the diameter, allowing the watch to slip under most cuffs when needed. The chronograph sub-dials and red accent lend the piece a technical, everyday character rather than formal refinement.
Water resistance
Rated to 100 metres, the DZ4308 withstands splashes, rain and shallow swimming, though the chronograph pushers should not be operated underwater to preserve the seal integrity.
This Diesel Mega Chief is covered by a 2-year international Diesel warranty and is available to try on at our Mall of the South and Greenstone showrooms.

FAQ
The 59 mm diameter is designed for larger wrists—typically 19 cm and above—where the case can sit proportionally without overhanging the wrist edges. Trying the watch on in person is the best way to assess fit and comfort.
The chronograph sub-dials measure elapsed time when you press the pushers on the case side. Avoid operating the pushers when the watch is wet or submerged, as this can compromise the water seal.
- Rinse the stainless steel case and bracelet with fresh water after exposure to chlorine or salt water, then dry with a soft cloth.
- Do not operate the chronograph pushers underwater or when the watch is wet, as this may allow moisture to enter the case.
- Have the battery replaced by a qualified watchmaker when the quartz movement stops; battery leakage can damage the movement if left unattended.
- Wipe the bracelet and clasp regularly with a microfibre cloth to remove oils and debris that accumulate between the links.
- Store the watch in a dry environment away from strong magnetic fields, which can interfere with quartz timekeeping accuracy.
- Check the deployment clasp periodically for secure closure to prevent accidental loss during wear.
Warranty
Supplied with the 2-year international Diesel warranty, valid when purchased from an authorised retailer and registered at purchase through Cassims & Co. The warranty covers manufacturing defects in materials and workmanship; it does not cover normal wear, batteries, straps, glass, or damage from misuse or water ingress through an unscrewed crown.
Our watch service centre in Johannesburg handles warranty work, batteries, bracelet sizing and servicing.
Care guide
- Keep your watch away from magnetic fields generated by electronic devices, speakers, and magnetic clasps, which may affect timekeeping accuracy.
- Although water-resistant to 10 bar, avoid exposing the watch to hot water, saunas, or rapid temperature changes which can compromise seals.
- Never operate the chronograph pushers or crown whilst the watch is wet or submerged, as this may allow water ingress.
- Clean the stainless steel case and bracelet regularly with a soft, slightly damp cloth to remove dirt, perspiration, and skin oils.
- For deeper cleaning of the bracelet, use warm soapy water and a soft brush, ensuring the watch is dried thoroughly afterwards.
- Have the water resistance tested annually if you regularly expose the watch to water, as gaskets degrade over time.
- When the battery requires replacement (typically every 2-3 years), have it changed by an authorised service centre to maintain warranty coverage and water resistance.
- Store your Diesel watch in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not being worn.
- Avoid impact or dropping the watch, as quartz movements contain delicate electronic components that can be damaged by shock.
- If the watch stops working or shows signs of moisture under the crystal, cease use immediately and bring it to our service team for inspection.
