    perfect blue

    Since I saw an azure blue Squale diver in another thread the idea of getting a beautiful blue dial watch keeps coming back to me.
    The only blue dial watch I currently have is my old Zenith Espada with a rather nice dial which changes quite a lot depending on the incoming light.
    I would be happy to see what options (new or vintage) are out there if I want to go blue!
    Thanks

    I am fond of Zenith and the blue dialed one is a cracker.

    This, once spotted during a Google search, haunts my days

    This is the only blue dial I have, but it was the blue that swayed my decision to choose it over the other options back in 1997.

    My only blue dial and fell in love with it after I replaced the very faded bezel insert

    There are some more suggestions here as well - I asked similar question before I got the Milgauss Z BLue

    http://forum.tz-uk.com/showthread.ph...te-I-decided-)

    Blue is popular.

    Now I'm trying to make a conscious effort to not get more blue stuff ... but I might be failing as have something blue in mind already.

    Took me years to get a blue dial and this one is stunning, the way it changes in different lighting is lovely.

    I seem to have a thing for blue dials and have owned loads. I won't bore you with them all so here's the ones I have left.

    My current favourite.



    And my vintage examples.





    Cheers,
    Gary

    Having owned various blue dials my favourite is the Sinn.

    The blue Isofrane on what is a pilots watch may not be to everyone's taste, but I like it!

    A bit of Russian fun:



    Not always the easiest to read - the numbers are highly polished - but it's certainly blue!

    That GS is lovely Gary, such a wonderful vibrancy.

    This is one of your old ones (and your pic). Don't wear it as often as I should, but it's going nowhere.



    I have one other blue Omega (pic from original seller) which is a real favourite.



    My only other blue watch is my Tudor Snowflake, but I don't have a picture that does it justice. Faded bezel, lovely cream markers and a nicely mellowed dial.

    Subtle shade of Blue on the dial of this Omega Seamaster Chronograph.


    The beautiful Blue of the Rolex BLNR bezel.
