Direnzo DRZ-04R 38 mm Mondial — Coming Soon to Finch Watches
Independent Swiss watchmaking continues to evolve, and few brands embody that spirit better than Direnzo Watches. Known for their geometric purity, balanced proportions, and strong design identity, Direnzo once again raises the bar with the DRZ-04R 38 mm Mondial — a refined evolution of the brand’s most celebrated model.
Arriving this winter 2025-2026 at Finch Watches, the DRZ-04R represents the perfect blend of Swiss precision, architectural design, and everyday versatility.
🕰️ A New Evolution of the Mondial Line
The DRZ-04R builds on the legacy of the original Mondial by introducing a more compact 38 mm case with a 46 mm lug-to-lug and a slim 10.8 mm profile (including the sapphire crystal).
The result is a watch that feels impeccably proportioned on the wrist — refined, comfortable, and distinctly Direnzo.
Crafted from 316L stainless steel, the case features fine brushed surfaces and polished accents that highlight its fluid geometry. Certain variants receive a scratch-resistant HV 800 coating for added protection.
The case flows seamlessly into Direnzo’s signature integrated bracelet, a hallmark of the brand’s design language. The bracelet’s solid links and butterfly clasp deliver both comfort and elegance, while an optional folding clasp with on-the-fly micro-adjustment adds practicality for active wearers.
🔩 Swiss Engineering Inside
At the heart of the DRZ-04R lies the Sellita SW200-1 Elaboré automatic movement — a reliable Swiss calibre operating at 28,800 vph (4 Hz) with Incabloc shock protection.
This proven mechanism ensures smooth performance, precision, and long-term dependability, all assembled and regulated in Switzerland.
The watch also features 10 ATM water resistance, making it perfectly suitable for everyday use, travel, and leisure alike.
🎨 Sculptural Dial Design
The dial is where the DRZ-04R truly distinguishes itself.
Direnzo’s characteristic “bowl-shaped” dial architecture creates a beautiful play of light and depth, drawing the eye naturally toward the center.
Applied indices and pill-shaped hour markers lend the dial its distinctive look, while hands filled with Super-LumiNova BGW9 ensure excellent legibility in low light. A lollipop seconds hand, a recurring Direnzo design signature, adds a touch of elegance and motion.
Each variant offers either a clean no-date layout or a discreet date window at six o’clock, maintaining perfect symmetry.
