All blue divers...

[jimyu]

I'm thinking of getting an all blue (bezel and dial) diver/tool watch. I've narrowed it down (I think) to an Omega Planet Ocean 600, Pelagos blue, or Breitling Superocean Heritage

I suprisingly can't find any photos comparing them together online. It seems to me the blueness of the Breitling might be too blingy, the omega reasonably bling and the Tudor maybe a bit flat... I do really like the lumed bezel of the Tudor though.

Unfortunatley it's not possible (at least easiliy) for me to view all three together to reallu get a grasp of the colour.

Any opinions or other watches I've overlooked?

I'm a sucker for blue dials. From blue divers this is my absolute favorite. I've owned it for 10 years.

Same depth rating as Rolex DeepSea and these are CHEAP in the preowned market. Like 2K or so. Yes, old model but who cares... one of the nicest 'Lings ever.

You've forgotten the daddy of dive watches the Fifty Fathoms!

Planet Ocean is good, I've got one in black, but all blue it has to be...................

I wish my budget went that far... beautiful

I would agree with oldoakknives that if you’re going to have an all-blue Omega, surely you need a classic Seamaster rather than a PO?

I’m never too sure about the colour on the blue Pelagos - I can’t decide if I like it or not...

Of the three you mention, my money would go to the Breitling - beautiful watch.

I'd agree ...


A classic (blue) Seamaster

^^^ very nice

I’m not sure about the seamaster... are they 40mm? I want 42-44mm ideally

And in darker lighting it looks royal blue.

Seamaster or Brietling (prob my next watch). Pelagos i think is to flat. Or you could save some cash and go Seiko.

The Pelagos for sure is very matt flat blue watch but that's what makes it a special watch. The blue colour just pops so much in different lighting. Here is mine which shows it off in a different light to Stuno1 pics.

It's actually the bright flat blue that attracted me in the first instance and I just had to have one!

Have you considered the Caribbean 1000 that Eddie's about to bring out?

I wasn’t aware of it till now.. the blue version is very nice but not for me at 40mm

210.30.42.20.03.001 is 42mm.

Didn’t realise there was a 42mm option.. still unsure of them, maybe it’s the bracelet I don’t like.

Here’s my blue-list

Breitling of the three.

I like blue divers, I've a Longines Hydroconquest which I think is great, but I'd definitely take a black Pelagos over blue, although I'm not a great fan of it generally.

The Breitling is quite dressy, of the three, though, so if you prefer a more robust looking watch, go for the Omega.

If YOU like the Tudor best, why are you asking?

Agreed I felt like I should like it but just don’t. Not keen on the bracelet or the hands. Tried on a friends a few times and just couldn’t gel with it.

[Foxy100]

How about an Omega Big Blue?

Wow that’s a massive colour change under different light !

Indeed. As such works well in the evening and not too bright.

I went for the superocean heritage II in blue on the milanese bracelet. I'm not a huge fan of the snowflake hands on the pelagos and the omega is a tool watch only whereas with the breitling you could just about get away with it with a suit (imho) so it seemed the most versatile to me.

Although the picture below isn't of the best quality the blue itself is anything but blingy - appearing almost black in some lighting.



It's where I put my money.

[jimyu]

Is that the 46mm? I really like the Chrono 44mm but they don’t come up often 2nd hand and I decided it was a bit too dressy for me

I thought about for a few days, and decided on the blue PO (picking one up tmrw from a TZ’er who contacted me after reading this thread :))

[Jeff wilson]

Yes indeed it is 😎😎

This thread has me hankering for a(nother) quartz Bond.

[julian2002]

Yes it’s a 46. When I got the breitling it was a toss up between the cookies and cream PO GMT and the SOH2 46.
While I liked the PO the SOH just felt more like something I’d wear in more situations. I still like the PO and can understand it’s attractions.
