Diesel Timeframes Rasp Quartz DZ1766 Men’s Watch

Last Sunday my dad and I were invited for his friend’s 60th birthday celebration. It was a lunch party so I was to pick him up at 11.30 am. When I reached there, he wasn’t even ready. “You’re early, George” he said. “It’s only just getting to 10.30, there’s still plenty of time to get to the party”. I was surprised, my dad is a stickler for time.

Last Sunday my dad and I were invited for his friend’s 60^th birthday celebration. It was a lunch party so I was to pick him up at 11.30 am. When I reached there, he wasn’t even ready. “You’re early, George” he said. “It’s only just getting to 10.30, there’s still plenty of time to get to the party”. I was surprised, my dad is a stickler for time. Punctuality is second nature to him so I wondered what the issue was. Looking at my surprised expression, he said, “Here, see the time on my watch”. Sure enough, it showed 10.30. “But dad it’s past 11.30, your watch is running slow again”, I said. I know he had already got the watch repaired a few times over the past 10 years of its life.

So, I decided to get him a new wrist watch. My father is a simple and practical man so I knew he wouldn’t like anything flashy. Understated elegance was more his style so I set about looking for a modern but classic wristwatch for him. I wasn’t looking for too many complicated features in the watch as my dad had little use for them. It had to be a neat model that simply performed one function – of telling the time.

Resorting to an online search, I found Diesel Timeframes Rasp Quartz DZ1766 Men’s Watch retailing for $ 111 at Creation Watches, SG. Diesel is a fashion brand that makes visually appealing timepieces which are generally the choice of the younger generation. But the Diesel Timeframes Rasp Quartz DZ1766 is suitable for all ages and seemed like the perfect replacement for my father’s old timepiece.

The Diesel Rasp DZ1766 looked good. The black dial in stainless steel casing gave it a clean look and the lattice-work design on one side of the dial gave it a distinct appeal. The bold white markers and hands contrasting the black dial make it extremely easy to read the time. This was an ideal choice for my father whose eyesight is not as great as it used to be.

At 46mm case diameter this was about the right fit with a comfortable looking black leather strap. A scratch resistant mineral crystal covers the dial and a quartz movement powers the watch. Water resistance up to 50 meters is the only other feature the Diesel Rasp DZ1766 offers. It was good enough for the occasional water splashes related to daily use.

The watch arrived within two days from purchase, packed in its original box. I gave it to my father right away. He liked it and was very happy with the clear, uncomplicated dial and I was relieved that I had made the right choice for him.
