Following the successful release and delivery of my previous models, I’m now excited to bring you my fourth timepiece: The DRZ 04 “Mondial”
The arrival of jet planes revolutionized the world of air travel, a Boeing 707 was able to travel from Paris to New York in eight hours with 180 passengers – twice as many as a propeller-driven Super Constellation, which took over 14 hours for the same journey. The DRZ 04 “Mondial” draws inspiration from this exciting time.

I spoke directly with Mr Direnzo himself via email and he could not have been more accommodating. Thank you Sergio. This watch is the best looking watch in my collection. The dial is just stunning, reflecting the light in a kind of sunburst radial pattern that fans out from the centre. The integrated bracelet with butterfly clasp is one of the nicest I’ve seen, comparable to watches with significantly higher price tags. The aviation inspired geometry of this piece is sleek, classy and as a professional pilot this is pure candy for my heart and soul. I absolutely love every aspect of this watch.

The watch came quickly and well packaged with a nice hand written message by Sergio. The watch itself fully meets the expectation, the build quality is flawless and the blue dial is simply creates a unique effect. The movement is excellent with accurate timekeeping and buttery smooth winding interaction. I’m lucky to own one of these watches!

After reading many reviews, all praising the design and high quality of the Mondial, I had high expectations when I ordered my watch. After owning it now for a few weeks, I can only say that these high expectation have been surpassed. The quality of finish of the watch is outstanding (and durable) and the design is elegant yet sporty. It is very comfortable to wear and the time is easily read, no matter the ambient light conditions. I haven’t yet closely monitored the accuracy, but a rough check indicates that it is within COSC specs. Of note is that the packaging of the watch is stylish without being extravagant of materials. And to cap it all off, a handwritten note of thanks from Sergio was a fine, personal touch.

sono completamente soddisfatto dell’orologio, che ha risposto appieno alle mie aspettative.
unica differenza rispetto alle immagini riguarda il colore che risulta avere un maggior effetto vintage rispetto a quello delle immagini.

Overall nice.
Even though the announced upgrades on the final version ie better lumes, centered date and a better anti-reflective treatment on the glass have still room for improvement.

Great service and fantastic quality watch for the price. Now have all the Direnzo watches in my collection and everyone is of a high quality ,beautifully made with interesting designs. Highly recommend any of Direnzo watches.

Beautiful watch and packaging. Very happy with my purchase and wishing Direnzo lots of success.
Dirk Grebe (verified owner) –
The build quality of the whole watch is excellent, shipping was quick & reliable but in my eyes the “blue” dial is not as powerful or briliant as it appears on the advertisment photos.
Philipp S. (verified owner) –
I love my new DRZ-04 Mondial. Perfect watch, perfect service (and I wasn’t an easy customer due to several requests) and everything worked out perfectly. Can recommend 100% and I’m looking forward to new projects.
Peter Kull (verified owner) –
A great watch with wonderful dial+hands. I love the butterfly clasp too and sure want to keep it – however its a tiny bit toooo tight on the wrist. If Direnzo would supply some longer (1-2mm) screwed echange links this would be perfect. I sure would purchase those additionally !!!
Olivier Conrad (verified owner) –
Very nice, i would like an option strap leather.

Just got my shiny new blue Mondial.
This watch is gorgeous its as simple as that. Stunning dial the integrated bracelet is fabulous and everything feels so premium and beautifully put together.
First saw this one on the JOMW youtube channel where it got a great review and it certainly hasn’t disappointed.
It even came with a handwritten note from Sergio himself how’s that for the personal touch.
I have the black 03 as well which is a stunner too.
Wonderful watch, a great value proposition and so yeah I guess you could say I’m a happy customer.

Sergio truly stands by his watches. The quality control is great, and the communication from himself is top notch. The watch comes as beautiful as described. And the bracelet is SO comfortable on this one!
Richard L. (verified owner) –
Very happy with my watch can’t stop looking at it or take it off, so different than any watch that I have in my collection and was worth the three month wait. If the DRZ wasn’t sold out I would buy no question asked. Ill try to pickup one second hand.
Jaroslaw (verified owner) –
Perfect watch, dial color better than I expected. Great shape of the case and finishing. The only complain I have is bracelet. Some screws ware a little bit rusted, it was hard to unscrew them. And there is no half link so perfect length adjustment can be tricky. Beside that watch worth every penny.
sergio (store manager) –
Hi Jaroslaw! glad you love the watch! I agree the screws could be better, I’ll be working on that. The links with screws are indeed smallers (7mm) than the other ones (9mm) you also have a folding clasp with microadjustments just in case the butterfly doesn’t work out for you. thanks!

A beautifully resolved and finely detailed watch that blends contemporary construction techniques with a certain vintage design aesthetic. A superb piece that represents great value for money.
Marva G. (verified owner) –
Bought this for my other half and he loves it and hasn’t stopped wearing it. The watch is stunning, the packaging is great. Service was excellent, delivery was on time. I liked the greeting card from Sergio as well. Will be looking out for other Direnzo products – perhaps a lady’s watch?
Steven C. (verified owner) –
This is another stunning piece from Direnzo; I’ve also got the DRZ03 but if anything the 04 is even more striking. The attention to detail is spot on and to get 2 clasps included (butterfly and dive style microadjust) to tailor to your individual preferences is a touch not normally seen. I changed my mind soon after placing my order, swapping my choice from green to blue, as I felt the latter would be a more versatile colour overall – Sergio did this without missing a beat and demonstrates why the best micro brands are getting a real following in the industry. I’m looking forward to future releases from Direnzo that’s for sure!
Saul B. (verified owner) –
Very happy with the watch – a real stunner in person.
Samitha K. (verified owner) –
Stunning!!! As an owner of Direnzo 03, I can confirm Sergio improved a lot though customer feedback, and will continue to do so with each model.
That Bowl Shaped Dial is simply gorgeous ?
Norman S. (verified owner) –
Very happy with my DRZ04 Blue as I am with my DRZ03 Black. It’s a beautiful watch that wears very well and comfortably, and punches above its weight. Nicely balanced and running about +1to2 seconds/day. Only issue I’ve had is the crowns a bit still and reluctant to get into the 2nd position. With time and patience I’m hoping this will ease.
Sergio B. (verified owner) –
I feel the Mondial price was very good for the quality of watch that I got. It is my second style watch from Direnzo. The finish of the case is very good. I bought the blue color and like how the dial color changes based on the amount of light that is available. I also enjoy the luminescence color of the dial markers and hands in the dark. I have a 7.25 inches wrist and after removing a few links the bracelet fits me like a glove, it is very comfortable to wear and I plan to keep it with the butterfly clasp. This Mondial watch is a great addition to my watch collection, a beautiful watch that I hope to enjoy for many years to come.

With great anticipation, I received my blue Mondial this week. This was my first buying experience from Direnzo and it was simply outstanding. I appreciated the advance notice of when production watches were in and anticipated shipping, as well as Sergio inspecting all units prior to release. Now having the watch on wrist for a couple of days, it has exceeded all expectations. Photos just don’t do it justice. The way the light plays off the the blue dial and the raised hour markers is stunning. The case finishing is excellent and I love the mix of polish and brushed…it all just ties wonderfully together. I greatly appreciated Sergio taking feedback and adding the fold over clasp in the package as this option works best for fit on my smaller size wrist. All in all, a superb design and quality watch. Great job Sergio and I can’t wait to see what comes next!
Joab (verified owner) –
I received the watch this week and it has blown me away! The dial looks amazing and more awesome than the photos suggested. But what I am most surprised is the butterfly clasp – I was not a fan of it but somehow this one wears extremely comfortable. The ease of changing the links is just the icing on the cake. Well done Sergio!

Orologio molto bello. Linee personali, moderne ma con richiami a stilemi sempre verdi !
Soddisfatto per ľacquisto anche per la sua originalità del quadrante incavo e della colorazione brillante, le sfere poi sono suadenti !
P.s. DELUSO per il pagamento delle tasse doganali che sembravano incluse nel prezzo di lancio
