The Diesel DZ1318 watch continues the ridiculously popular black on black trend by starting with something like the Fossil Analog Compass, and then giving it the Diesel treatment (who wants to turn their wrist to find out what direction they’re going) – which means adding more faces, functions, or making it huge. In rare cases (like this one), Diesel just throws in everything but the gas pedal and the result is a watch that looks good on everyone from Jack Bauer to John Connor. Factor in the compass, multiple faces, stainless steel, and leather and the best wearer is you.
