In my humble opinion, no fashion house does luxury timepieces quite like Dior. When it comes to Dior’s collections of thebest watches, the brand perfectly blends high-end jewellery with intricate timekeeping, oftentimes combining sparkling gemstones with complex chronographs.
But during my recent visit to the Dior store, where I got hands on with the feminineGem Diorand Grand Bal Plume, I was most excited to try on the new additions to the Chiffre Rouge collection. With its rugged yet sophisticated looks, the Chiffre Rouge is much more intricate than first meets the eye.
At the Dior store, I got to try on the new Dior Chiffre Rouge Black Ultramatte Chronograph and the Dior Chiffre Rouge Black Ultramatte. Both watches have the distinctive crown at the four o’clock position, while the chronograph version has additional pushers on the side for more asymmetry and control over the chronographs.
TheDior Chiffre Rouge Black Ultramatte Chronographhas a 41mm black DLC-coated steel case and bezel. The combination of black and red colours looks striking and bold, and brings out the white accents around the dial, including the hour markers, Dior logo, highlighted hour and minute hands, and the chronograph counters.

Speaking of patterns, the Dior Chiffre Rouge Black Ultramatte Chronograph has the embossed Cannage motif on the dial, and a Microcannage motif on the black rubber strap. The watch has a 48-hour power reserve and is water resistant to 100 metres.

Both Chiffre Rouge watches are a beautiful testament and tribute to Dior, with its red date window, crowns and stoppers. What makes the watches controversial is the oversized buttons and asymmetrical design which doesn’t appeal to all watch lovers. But it’s this aesthetic that makes the new Dior Chiffre Rouge much more captivating to look at, and if you’re a Dior fan, it’s a watch that you’ll want to add to your collection.
