Dior may not be the first brand that comes to mind when you think of men’s watches, especially compared to competitors like Louis Vuitton and Gucci. There’s good reason for that — Dior has a limited selection of watches (particularly men’s), but what selection they do have is quality. One shining example? The Chiffre Rouge collection, which consists of three different watches.

The Chiffre Rouge Black Ultramatte has a 38mm case and a sleek black steel design, while the Chiffre Rouge Black Ultramatte Diamonds features a 38mm case adorned with black diamonds and pink gold accents. In the middle is the Chiffre Rouge Black Ultramatte Chronograph. It offers a 41 mm case made from black DLC-coated steel. The water-resistant watch (up to 100 meters) features luminescent hour and minute hands, a red chronograph second hand, anti-glare sapphire crystal, an Ultramatte black steel folding clasp with easy-fastening system, and approximately 48-hour power reserve.
