Recently recovered, this Direnzo Mondial DRZ04 automatic watch is an original alternative to Tissot PRX and other Citizen Tsuyosa watches.
Obviously we find the currently popular features: integrated bracelet, screw-down crown, automatic caliber and colored dial.

This version sports a turquoise blue dial that surfs on the hype of so-called Tiffany Blue watches.

Among the many emerging micro brands, Direnzo is making its place in a competitive segment and I understand why the watches are selling quickly. On the wrist the watch sits great thanks to its low thickness and its flexible articulated bracelet.

The price can be a deterrent because the Direnzo Mondial costs more than other models, but that's the price of originality.

The chic sports watch with many details

The Casio Oceanus OCW-S6000 watch is among the top of the range offered by Casio. Little known in France, this watch seduces with its features (bluetooth, multiband6, tough solar, ...) while benefiting from specifications that are only found in the big names: finesse, polishing, mass distribution, precision, materials.

In addition to being exclusive, its very "KAWAI" look does not leave you indifferent. Its low thickness (8mm) and its weight (lightened thanks to titanium) are surprising.. Top of the range of the top of the range from Casio, this unpretentious watch has little to envy the Swiss competition.

Perfect mix of technology, elegance and watchmaking

The Direnzo brand was created in 2016 by Sergio Godoy Di Renzo in Geneva, Switzerland. An architect by profession, he founded the brand following a watch design course. The name of his brand is a tribute to his grandfather of Italian origin from the small town of Bomba, in the province of Chieti.
With Direnzo, Sergio wants to create timepieces that are inspired by the timeless beauty of racing cars and airplanes from the mid-20th century. For example, the Type 250F echoes the Maserati 250F that drove Juan Manuel Fangio to victory in the Formula 1 Grand Prix at the N&uuml;rburgring.
The first models launched on Kickstarter were a great success and allowed it to find a place in the sphere of watchmaking micro-brands.
The range includes models such as the<a href="https://www.dialicious.com/en/direnzo/drz_02"> Direnzo DRZ 02</a>, the<a href="https://www.dialicious.com/en/direnzo/drz_02r"> Direnzo DRZ 02R</a>, the<a href="https://www.dialicious.com/en/direnzo/drz_03v2"> Direnzo DRZ 03V2</a>, the <a href="https://www.dialicious.com/en/direnzo/drz_04v2">Direnzo DRZ 04V2</a> and the<a href="https://www.dialicious.com/en/direnzo/drz_05"> Direnzo DRZ 05</a>.
<h2 dir="ltr">How much does a Direnzo watch cost?</h2>
The price of new Direnzo watches starts at 750 CHF regardless of the model or the reference proposed. The Direnzo DRZ 02R, 03V2 or DRZ 04 Mondial models are, in a very original way, offered at the same price. The Direnzo brand being a victim of its success, the historic models DRZ Type 250, DRZ 02 or DRZ 03 are out of stock. The second-hand market is the only remaining option to afford the brand's first models.&nbsp;
Direnzo is an independent watch brand and produces several hundred watches per year, all models combined. To choose a Direnzo that best suits you, Dialicious owners&rsquo; reviews are a valuable resource for evaluating each of the different models through real customer experience.

I first bought this watch by chance, having already a PRX, the question of another watch with an integrated bracelet had not come to my mind. 
I first bought one at a very competitive price on LBC and there was a huge crush. I who really liked my PRX, it has not left the box since I discovered the Mondial. 
The watch is extremely comfortable, the bracelet is at the top, flexible, elegant, refined from the case to the buckle with class. 
The dial is fantastic, its bowl shape is a signature of the brand and is available with many colors, each more delightful than the last. The skeletonized hands are very harmonious with once again this lolipop second hand which eclipses the date window demonstrates the attention to detail and the ingenuity of the creator. The watch is of a very reasonable size and can be forgotten on the wrist, it has everything you need for a perfect daily. A very good SW200-1, a screw-down crown, an 800HV coating on the watch which makes it much less sensitive to scratches than some (PRX for example :D...), the original dial with its finely worked indexes.
This watch is an undeniable beauty, I have not seen any watch with an integrated bracelet that rivals and provides such emotion. It is the queen of integrated bracelets, it does not play in the same league as the "competition".
