It is no secret that Diljit Dosanjh stays heavy on the watch game. His recent appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon not only switched the mode desi but also casually flexed his refined taste in luxury watches.
After making his debut on the show in 2024 where he performed G.O.A.T and Born to Shine, Diljit returned on the American talk show as a guest as opposed to his previous appearance as a performer.
In a viral clip shared from the latest episode on his social media, the 42-year old singer and host Jimmy Fallon are seen sharing excitement over his music, bhangra lessons and his AURA album tour.
Not only that Diljit is also set to appear in Main Wapas Aunga, directed by Imtiaz Ali and set against the backdrop of the 1947 Partition. The film also features Naseeruddin Shah, Sharvari Wagh, and Vedang Raina in key roles, and is scheduled to release in theatres on June 12.
So, while everyone tuned in for the humour, the signature Diljit charm and bhangra and talk about the album tour, watch lovers are as excited to know what the singer who is known for a distinctive style is wearing this time around.
The singer wore a black bandhgala jacket and black trousers with subtle embellished detailing, a white pipeline touch on the hemlines and contrasted it with pink turban and a luxury dress watch.
Well, we have already ID'd the watch and its one of those collector's picks.
On the show, Diljit is seen wearing a Chanel Première Édition Originale Ref. H6951, a 2022 reissue of Chanel’s very first timepiece from 1987. Instantly recognisable for its octagonal case shape that is inspired by the stopper of the Chanel No. 5 perfume bottle, the watch dial is slim and minimalist.
Moreover, the bracelet is interlaced with leather— like the chain of the iconic quilted bag and come in a steel coated with 18k yellow gold and black-lacquered dial. With high precision quartz movement, a modest water resistance of 30 meters and a size 26.1 x 20 x 7.6mm, the ₹5,71,500 timepiece makes the perfect luxury dress watch.
Zooming out, the Chanel Première Édition Originale watch is just one of the watches from Diljit's collection. In 2024, during his Dil-Luminati tour and his appearance as a guest performer on The Tonight Show, the Punjabi singer who is now set to go on a AURA album tour and performed Morni for Fallon, wore another notable timepiece— a custom iced-out Audemars Piguet Royal Oak worth approx ₹ 1.2 cr. The customised stainless steel/rose gold 41mm watch features extensive diamond encrusting.
The return of the Diljit Dosanjh on the show has already got everyone talking since the episode dropped and why not! From teaching Jimmy Fallon bhangra steps to delivering his signature humour and performing his track “Morni,” the episode currently available on YouTube has quickly turned into what fans are calling a full desi takeover and they are right.
