[Diesel](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/diesel-3) has just released a new watch to their Black Label line. It’s a faceless timepiece that displays four time zones.

How can a [faceless watch](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ressence-type-3-bb2) show four time zones? The front face of the watch is completely blank, adorned only with a black cover. The sides of the watch, however, are a different story. Each side of the watch has two faces, each displaying a different time zone.

While the Diesel Black Label watch looks great, I can’t imagine that it would be easy on the eyes to read the small side faces. But with the [black, steel-plated cover](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/streamliner-genesis-2) and leather straps, no one will be paying attention to the time!

## Key Themes
