Diesel LCD DZ-7116

Time for another chunky watch with today's post.

This watch is the Diesel DZ-7116 (sometimes written as DZ7116).
It is a large mens LCD watch, with a solid looking stainless steel case. The Diesel brand was started in 1978 by Renzo Rosso and has been a pioneer in denim and casual wear. More recently, the band has been aimed at the premium casual level, and has been producing some of the more interesting modern watch designs. This model is one of their mens range watches and was released around 2010.

This is an inverse display LCD watch with 3 lines and a more blocky designed digit than a standard LCD display. The top line has the day and date, the middle is the time, and bottom are the seconds. It has dual time, alarm, and timer modes, switched by the bottom button. The top button triggers the light, and doubles as the setting button. Both buttons appear flush to the front of the watch, and actually pivot from the front, so you need to remember to press them close to your wrist to get them to work.

It looks like the original retail price was around $120, but one site was asking for $750.
