The Diesel Rasp DZ1807 is a bold statement in contemporary watch design, engineered for those who appreciate industrial aesthetics and uncompromising style. Featuring a 46mm black ion-plated stainless steel case with a matching black textured dial, this timepiece delivers an assertive monochromatic presence on the wrist. The dial surface showcases Diesel's signature embossed branding and a geometric guilloché pattern that catches light with subtle intensity, while luminous hour markers and hands ensure legibility in all conditions. Powered by a reliable Japanese quartz movement, the Rasp offers precision timekeeping within a design that refuses to fade into the background.
Fitted with a black silicone strap embossed with Diesel branding, this watch combines durability with wearing comfort across all environments. The strap's textured surface provides secure grip and resilience against daily wear, whilst the tang buckle ensures a customisable fit. Protected by scratch-resistant mineral crystal and offering water resistance to 50 metres, the DZ1807 is built to withstand the rigours of active lifestyles whilst maintaining its distinctive aesthetic. At Cassims & Co., we are proud to present this timepiece as part of our curated selection of authorised Diesel timepieces, each representing the brand's commitment to bold, unapologetic design.
Whether you're drawn to its industrial character or its technical specifications, the Rasp DZ1807 delivers a wearing experience that is both visually arresting and functionally sound. The 11mm case thickness ensures comfortable wearability despite the generous diameter, whilst the black-on-black colour scheme allows this watch to transition seamlessly from casual to evening wear.

FAQ
Q: Is the Diesel Rasp DZ1807 suitable for swimming?
A: With 50 metres of water resistance, this watch is suitable for splashes, rain, and brief immersion such as handwashing. However, it is not recommended for swimming, diving, or showering, as the water resistance rating does not account for the dynamic pressures encountered during aquatic activities.
Q: What type of movement powers this watch?
A: The DZ1807 is powered by a reliable Japanese quartz movement, offering accurate timekeeping with minimal maintenance requirements. You can expect the battery to last approximately 2-3 years under normal use, and Cassims & Co. provides battery replacement services.
Q: Can the silicone strap be replaced or adjusted?
A: Yes, the silicone strap features a standard tang buckle with multiple adjustment holes to accommodate various wrist sizes. Should you require strap replacement or adjustment, our team at Mall of the South can assist with genuine Diesel replacement straps.
Q: Is this watch covered by an international warranty?
A: Yes, when purchased from Cassims & Co. as an authorised Diesel retailer, this timepiece carries a 2-year international Diesel warranty covering manufacturing defects in materials and workmanship. The warranty does not cover normal wear and tear, battery replacement, or damage resulting from misuse.
Q: What is the lug width for aftermarket straps?
A: Diesel does not publish the lug width specification for this model. We recommend visiting our boutique where our specialists can measure the exact lug width and advise on compatible replacement straps should you wish to explore alternative strap options.
Q: How does the black ion plating hold up over time?
A: Black ion plating (IP) is a durable surface treatment that bonds to the stainless steel at a molecular level, offering excellent resistance to scratches and wear. With proper care—avoiding harsh chemicals and abrasive surfaces—the black finish will maintain its appearance for years. Minor surface marks may develop with regular use, adding character to the timepiece.
Q: What wrist size does this watch accommodate?
A: The silicone strap is designed to fit wrist circumferences approximately 16cm to 21cm comfortably. For precise fitting or strap adjustments, we invite you to visit our Mall of the South boutique where our team can ensure an optimal fit.

- Battery replacement, routine maintenance, and servicing are not covered under warranty and are the responsibility of the owner.
- Water damage resulting from misuse, improper seal maintenance, or exceeding the stated water resistance rating is excluded from warranty coverage.
- Damage caused by accidents, impacts, unauthorised repairs, or modifications voids the warranty immediately.
- To claim warranty service, you must present the original proof of purchase from Cassims & Co. or another authorised Diesel retailer, along with the completed warranty card.

Care Guide
- Wipe the case and silicone strap regularly with a soft, lint-free cloth to remove perspiration, dust, and oils that can accumulate during wear.
- For deeper cleaning of the silicone strap, use lukewarm water with a small amount of mild soap, then rinse thoroughly and dry completely before wearing.
- Avoid exposing the watch to extreme temperatures, harsh chemicals, solvents, or perfumes, as these can damage the ion plating, crystal, and strap material.
- Although water-resistant to 50 metres, do not operate the crown whilst underwater or when the watch is wet, as this may compromise the seals.
- Have the battery replaced by an authorised service centre when the watch stops or exhibits irregular timekeeping. Cassims & Co. offers battery replacement services with seal inspection.
- Store the watch in a cool, dry environment away from direct sunlight when not in use. Avoid magnetic fields from electronic devices, speakers, or magnetic clasps.
- The scratch-resistant mineral crystal offers good protection, but avoid impacts against hard surfaces such as concrete, tile, or metal that could cause chips or cracks.
- We recommend a professional pressure test every 12-18 months if you regularly expose the watch to water, ensuring the seals maintain their integrity.
- Avoid wearing the watch during high-impact activities or contact sports, as the 46mm case diameter and quartz movement are not designed for shock resistance.
