I am on the hunt for a blue dialled watch. As my collection is mostly either chronos or flight related and between 40-42mm I am keen on something in that realm
My current grail is the VC Overseas chrono - either version 2 or 3 and I have looked at the Speedmasters (japan olympic and Gemini 4) although one thing I have realised is that in the Speedmasters' case the silver colour of the hands going over the pandas makes it quite difficult to read.... I've also looked at Breitling Premiere...
.
So any thoughts or ideas for a blue faced watch would be much appreciated!

it's actually blue but the photo above doesn't do it justice - the version 3 of the VC comes with three straps that are interchangeable - one blue rubber (as below), one blue leather croc and one steel bracelet....Sadly the whole at some cost!Originally Posted by Rory
I really like blue dials, here are my three, all rather lovely in their own way, I think.
That’s fantastic - definitely the one I would go for on looks and you don’t see many of them around either.it's actually blue but the photo above doesn't do it justice - the version 3 of the VC comes with three straps that are interchangeable - one blue rubber (as below), one blue leather croc and one steel bracelet....Sadly the whole at some cost!

Nice collection! There was a comment on another thread that platinum watches are quite heavy, is there much weight difference between the two Rolexes?I really like blue dials, here are my three, all rather lovely in their own way, I think.

Not a chrono, but quite a blue dial
JLC Polaris ?

Thanks.
I had a weigh-in (all sized for my wrist):
DD 36mm - 213g
OP 39mm - 125g
5712 - 117g
And for comparison, the old 16610 is 133g
Yes, love JLC as a brand and thought this would be the one for me, but when I saw it in the flesh it didn't make my heart sing.....not sure what wasn't quite right about it....Maybe I have to look at it again.
I have a reverso and it's quite possibly one of my favs.
At the more modest end of the spectrum...

Is there a more beautiful blue dial chrono than the IWC Portugieser?
Doesn’t quite tick all your boxes, but the blue dial is really very nice....

Thanks - that’s a significant difference, do you particularly notice it on the wrist?

Here's my lovely blue dial:

There's blue and then there's the 3548 Cousteau:
Different shades of blue...
Two watches I've really liked the look of for ages but never have the cash for:
Brellum Pandial Marina. Not handled one myself but I only ever hear great things.
Tutima Saxon One.
Seiko SRPC09 (UFO reissue), great value for under 200...4R36 hack&handwind, ...
looks great

John’s post above reminded me that I had this beauty for a short while. Bought off the forum and sold to a TZ’er so hopefully still in the fold. Was just a bit too dainty for me. Wish they did it in 40mm
....and a darker blue ....

It feels quite heavy when you first put it on, but you soon get used to it.

Stock photo - but this is a 2019 Zenith comes in at 41mm diameter- which fits the size you are looking for.

Nobody does blue like De Bethune!
Might not tick all your boxes but what about Blancpain bathyscaphe? They're 43mm and there's a chrono version
Tried this before....
I have (or son now has) the black version of this which I think is quite a nice watch ( borrowed pic)
I've loved blue dials for ages as well.
How about this?
I am also a blue fan:

Yes I tried to buy one of these LE with blue face, but actually settled for the black faced transatlantic which I love (and am currently wearing) as blue version is all polished steel and I fundamentally prefer brushed steel. Lovely watch and ticks the aviation box as well as being a flyback chrono. Very undervalued in my book.I have (or son now has) the black version of this which I think is quite a nice watch ( borrowed pic)

Yes looked at this too, but 43mm is just( and only just) too big for me. Maybe I should have another look.Might not tick all your boxes but what about Blancpain bathyscaphe? They're 43mm and there's a chrono version

Girard Perregaux Laureato 42mm. Chrono versions available too.

My only blue dial watch. Apologies for the “still covered in plastic” photo ... hadn’t bought it at the time this photo was taken.
Prob my favourite watch at the moment
My other Blue
Can't believe this was missed.
Heuer "Steve McQueen" Monaco
GO might be worth a shout:
My two, both a similar price.
38.5mm but quite thick so feels more substantial. I am also really coming round to the smaller sizes.
42mm
I love a blue dial - Here's my Breitling Superocean Heritage II 46mm
some excellent suggestions on here - thanks everyone....I'm now, however, potentially even more undecided as to which, although now absolutely sure my next purchase will be blue dialled.
I seem to recognise the Omega ;)My two, both a similar price.

I hope you’re enjoying it!

I know these aren’t chronos but all of them are lovely blues
