A Unique Piece, No Two Alike


"DIESEL ALRITE" is a project dedicated to creating watches that merge with art. DIESEL explains, "True art is universal and timeless." This project aims to craft "future classics, not fleeting trends."

To mark the project's launch, the "DIESEL ALRITE BY ROSTARR LIMITED EDITION" was created in collaboration with ROSTARR, an artist active in Brooklyn, New York.

Rostarr is a multifaceted artist, working as a painter, calligrapher, and filmmaker. For 14 years, he has consistently presented polymorphic abstract paintings and monochrome calligraphic drawings.

The newly released watch is crafted by cutting out a 150-square-meter art piece he created. After cutting out the artwork, each piece undergoes a manual process of wrapping the leather, resulting in a worldwide limited production of 555 units, each presented as a completely unique piece with no two alike.

55 units have been allocated for Japan. This watch represents a high-level fusion of the timepiece as an item and modern art.
