The Diesel 98P174 is a mid-sized watch. It measures 38 mm across. Case and Wrist Presence \n This is a 38 mm case. At 38 mm this is a mid-sized case that reads as unisex, and it wears easily on most wrists. \n Movement and Functions \n A quartz analog movement drives the watch. \n \n Chronograph – stopwatch timing from the dial \n Water resistance – 3 ATM (30 metres) \n Sapphire crystal – protecting the dial \n \n Water Resistance and Everyday Durability \n The watch is rated to 3 ATM, or 30 metres of static pressure. That covers rain and incidental splashes. Take it off before you shower or swim. Make sure the crown is fully seated before any contact with water. \n A sapphire crystal protects the dial – the most scratch-resistant option short of diamond, and the reason the dial still looks new after years of wear. \n Who This Watch Suits \n \n Anyone who wants a mid-sized case that works across genders and occasions \n Anyone who will actually use a stopwatch – or simply wants the busier dial that comes with one \n Gift buyers looking for something recognisable, boxed and properly warranted \n \n Care and Maintenance \n None of the care below is onerous. It is the difference between a watch that ages well and one that simply gets old. Keep it away from the shower and the pool – the rating here covers splashes, not immersion. Keep it clear of perfume and solvents, off the speaker on your desk, and out of direct sun when you take it off. \n About the Brand and Ownership \n Diesel watches sit in the sweet spot between fashion and function: recognisable design, real build quality, and a price that does not ask you to think of the watch as an investment. Basic care goes a long way – keep it clear of solvents and perfume, rinse the strap if it has been in salt water, and store it somewhere dry. \n The Short Version \n What you are getting is a case that wears close and stays out of the way, a chronograph dial with enough going on to hold your eye. It is not trying to be a heirloom piece and it does not price itself like one. It is a well-made, recognisable watch that does the job every day and looks considered doing it. \n Technical Specifications \n \n Attribute Specification \n Brand Diesel \n Model / Reference 98P174 \n Gender Unisex (38 mm case) \n EAN 1271557703167 \n Case Diameter 38 mm \n Crystal Sapphire \n Movement Quartz analog \n Water Resistance 3 ATM / 30 metres \n Country of Origin DE \n \n Buying With Confidence \n Buying a watch online comes down to trusting the seller, so here is exactly what you get.
