Noir Audacieux Review: Oversized Black Watch with Decorative Subdials

A bold black-and-grey chronograph look, with subdials that are decorative rather than functional.

We recommend the Noir Audacieux to buyers who want a large, graphic black-and-grey watch with a textured dial and a confident rubber-strap look. The visual layout borrows from chronographs, but Noir clearly says the subdials are decorative and do not time anything. That makes this a style-first choice for someone drawn to the oversized face, not a tool for measuring elapsed time.

The quick answer.

Noir Audacieux Chronograph (Black / Grey) is a chronograph-style watch watch with case dimensions 46 mm dial diameter, as listed · 14 mm thick · case span not published at £89.99. We recommend it for a buyer who wants a large black-and-grey fashion watch with a textured dial and rubber strap, and values the chronograph look more than stopwatch functions.

Why it belongs on the shortlist.

The Audacieux puts a dark grid-textured dial inside a broad grey-finish case, with bright subdial rings and a black rubber strap. Its 46 mm seller-listed dial diameter gives the design plenty of presence, while the rubber keeps the look casual. Noir currently includes the model in its men’s range, and the contrast-heavy face is the reason to consider it. The seller describes the subdials as aesthetic only, so the product name should not be read as a working chronograph specification.

The black-and-grey dial is the main attraction.

The raised grid pattern, luminous-looking hands and pale subdial rings give the Audacieux a layered face that stands out from a plain black dial. The rubber strap keeps the overall style sporty and direct. We would choose it for the strong visual contrast and size, rather than for any specialist timing capability.

Treat the chronograph as a visual style, not a function.

Noir says the subdials are decorative and do not work as chronograph registers. The seller does not identify the movement or describe other complications. That is an important distinction: the watch borrows the appearance of a chronograph, but it is not the right choice if you need a stopwatch.

The seller-listed dial is large.

Noir gives a 46 mm dial diameter, 14 mm thickness and 24 mm strap width, but does not publish the case span. The broad dial and strap will read as a substantial watch. Compare the full case footprint with a watch that fits you already, and ask the brand for case width or lug-to-lug if those measurements matter.

Use the supplied code and compare the store promotion.

Noir lists the Audacieux at £89.99 GBP. The supplied code SEBASTIANBASSOL is for 25% off, but this exact model has not been tested and we do not show an after-code price. Noir’s product page also advertises a buy-one-get-one offer for orders with at least two items; code eligibility and whether the promotions combine are unconfirmed.

What draws us in

  • The grid-textured black dial and bright rings create a strong monochrome look
  • A black rubber strap keeps the styling casual rather than dressy
  • Noir is explicit that the chronograph-style subdials are decorative, so buyers can choose with clear expectations

Before you choose

The 46 mm figure is the seller’s dial-diameter measurement; it does not publish the case width or lug-to-lug span, so compare the actual dimensions with a watch you already wear. Noir lists 14 mm thickness and a 24 mm band width, which make this a large design with a broad strap. The movement, crystal and water-resistance depth are not specified. Its subdials are nonfunctional, so choose a working chronograph if you need elapsed-time measurement.

Who it suits.

A buyer who wants a large black-and-grey fashion watch with a textured dial and rubber strap, and values the chronograph look more than stopwatch functions.

When to choose something else.

Choose a functional chronograph if you need timed measurements, or a smaller watch if a 46 mm dial and 14 mm thickness feel too prominent.

Warranty, returns and ownership.

The product listing does not provide a model-specific warranty or a quantified water-resistance rating. Review Noir’s current terms and ask the seller for case-fit and water-use details before ordering.

Check the large dial and 14 mm thickness against your wrist.

The published case dimensions are 46 mm dial diameter, as listed · 14 mm thick · case span not published; use that complete footprint and thickness to judge fit. Use our wrist-fit guide and compare the proportions with a watch you already enjoy wearing.
