Blue Bezels!

I’’ve become a bit blue obsessed recently. Here are my two dive watches with gorgeous blue bezels.

I had the stainless steel Omega 300m a few years ago, but this titanium version is, in my opinion, well worth the extra few bob. It’s obviously lighter than the steel version, and the blue adds extra funk [emoji846]

As I’ve said countless times before, the 42mm Panerai submersible 1950 case is maybe my favourite ever, and the gray, textured dial is amazing.

Bring on the holidays so I can go for a splash in the sea!

Seems very topical with the Tudor bb58 blue bezel being released

You can't beat a Blue bezel.

Hmm, Omega, Panerai, Blancpain and...

Hamilton.

I do like that Panerai, and the Blancpain.

Love me a blue bezel - and that Panerai in the OP is a real eye catcher!

My favourite is my Certina DS Action -

Straton Legera is a beautiful thing, too -

Scurfa knock it out of the park, as well -

Here's another stunning blue bezel - sadly not my picture though...

Blue is without doubt my favourite colour, watches especially. So much so Im having my first ever blue watch serviced to spruce it up, a 2005 Omega Seamaster. The only blue watch that didn’t quite bond with me was the 5711 I had, which I get is strange as it’s probably the most sort after watch on the planet. Just didn’t do it for me.

My favourite watch, so much versatility with the 3 strap options:

As a blue watch with gold, this has to be up there - quite stunning!

Finally the blue watch to beat all blue watches would be a blue dial, 42mm steel Daytona. Wishful thinking eh!

I do like a blue bezel, however only have the one just now:

I have a thing for blue bezel diver-style watches that started with a Timex diver that I had as a kid in the early '70s. Just spent 10 minutes googling images to see if I could find one, and I'm pretty sure it was one of these:

I well remember using the plastic bezel to display remaining time in exams and tests at school. I wore it all the time, not sure I actually took it off in bed and I believe that watch and its tight bracelet are the reason my left wrist is slimmer than the right one. It happily survived going in a swimming pool, and the Mediterranean on holidays to Spain, many times.

A couple of affordable options.

This one blue enough? ;)

Faded, but blue nonetheless.

I was almost about to say that blue bezels really don't do it for me, then I remembered my blue Tuna and the ChR wARD and various Turtles I had. Actually, I still sort of stand by that, the Tuna is dark enough that it isn't BLUE and there's a reason I sold the others.

VC is amazing @devonian

I'm rather fond of them too.

Something titanium from the 1990s incoming, https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...2a18ce3c5c.jpg

My 1.5 blue bezels. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...0a792b449c.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...e8b7673219.jpg

Always been a blue man though my collection has oriented to black. Currently my little seamaster is my only all blue bezel.
I think Omega nailed the colour on that. I have an incoming Seiko tuna with 2 tone blue bezel that I'm looking forward to.

Good call and great choice [emoji106] if I didn't have an original Pelagos I'd definitely go for one of those, that blue certainly stands out from the rest

Many thanks, a couple on the website are very interesting .

I'm very partial to blue dials, but I think the only watch I have with a blue bezel is my Longines Hydroconquest

I do have a Yobokies blue 'Fifty Fathoms' mod bezel to fit (with other parts) to a SNZH Seiko at some point, but it's been sitting unfitted for a couple of years now!

PS ETA - Looks lovely, I think :biggrin:

Who can forget the 1675 Blueberry

If the BB58 blue is the poor man’s Smurf, let’s hear it for the daddy.

I do like grey Ti cases with blue bezels...

Since I can’t afford Ken’s FF, this will have to do!

One of the best blue tones on a watch bezel imho:

Does this count? Turning blue! :)

I know they get plenty of flak, but i really do like the mixture of blues in my Squale Vintage Master.
