    Watches for seasons

    Some watches scream a certain season for me. The Tudor heritage chrono is a summer watch all day long imho similarly the LE mm300

    For autumn the Harrods is perfect for me

    Interested if anyone else feels the same and to see their seasonal faves?

    I have some very ‘seasonal’ watches among my collection that are worn most at the appropriate time.

    E.g

    My three Festina watches from the 100th Tour de France, 100th Giro d’Italia and one from the 2016 Tour of Britain. Plus the Tissot from the 70th edition of la Vuelta a España.

    Bit if a theme there!

    The Giro and the Vuelta overlapping this year has been a problem .

    I know it's not quite what you're asking, but I have difficulty with leather straps in the summer. I sweat, and the straps suffer. As a result, in the summer I only wear watches that have bracelets.

    I suppose I could buy a few cheap "disposable" straps for the summer. Hmmm that should work.

    Not set in stone but generally I prefer my white dials in the summer and darker dials in winter.

    Not intentional on today's muddy mutt walk, but yes, the green suits the now autumnal days. It also matches the extremely practical but no where near fashionable paramo.

    The black 58 is definitely a winter watch imo.

    The Bremont has a sunburst dial and looks good in the sun.

    That Marinemaster looks awesome on both the bracelet and the yellow strap.

    Definitely, I have a Tissot TdF on its black and yellow strap for summer holidays, I'd really like one of the white Quicksters on the red white and blue too.

    I prefer to wear a white dial watch in the winter as it brightens up the miserable dark evenings and a nice sunburst blue dial in the summer months.

    The only watch I've ever considered to be a "holiday watch" (so, I guess, a summer watch), is this Nomos Ahoi Atlantik, especially on the supplied Nylon strap, or on this Peron-type.

    I’d also say that some watches are very much evening watches.

    This one is Autumn / winter for me:

    It’s interesting - the one season that doesn’t stand out is Spring. Summer and winter are opposites so easy to categorize - and autumn has the whole autumn palette of colours thing going on. Has nobody got a spring watch or does such a thing not exist, ps spring drive need not apply

    That breitling is a peach btw

    Maybe a green Milgauss? I've always associated light green with the new growth of Spring.

    On a crappy, cold, wet autumn day, I like something that reminds me of the warmth and brightness of summer (and something that can stand the soaking it's going to get when I walk the dogs in a bit...):

    Everything's Gone Green

    Maybe I should put this away until the Spring...

    They sound interesting - can you share pictures? While I’m at it. A loud band for winter just arrived for me - enjoying it so far!!

    That band looks nice!

    How is the coating on the Tudor holding up?
