90s Rave-Inspired Timepieces

Diesel Releases the D-SRUPTOR Watch with an Edgy Flair

Diesel introduces a look at its new timepiece in the form of the D-SRUPTOR watch. It is a sleek wristwatch. It is the latest to join the Metamorph series that has a rawness and nods to the 90s rave world. This was a time before smartphones and QR codes dominated the space.

In terms of the design language, it is crafted from stainless steel at the strap for a sleek look and durable feel. This links the structure of the vertebra and the indices are inspired by claw marks. To reflect this, there are spikey and jagged lines that seem to be ripping through the watch face in four colorways. There is green, silver, gold, and a classic black.
