Reply With QuoteThese are my two. Not really pilot style but you've probably not seen either in the wild, I doubt.
Looking for a little inspiration from the TZ-UK crowd
I'm considering another white dial watch and wondering what's out there that I may not have come across yet.
My preference is simple 3 hander, 'Pilot' style and preferably on bracelet, 40mm ish
what have you got or suggest? pics welcomed
thanks
Ian

That’s nice Toby.Originally Posted by tobywatches
I have these two. The Seamaster is simply gorgeous and the dial detail is superb. Had the Seiko for quite a few years now.

Seiko is 38mm I think and Sinn is 41. The Sinn is also available in a three hander non UTC and on bracelet.
Stunning

An engagement gift from my wife in 1998. I wore it every day for 18 years until I pitched up here asking questions about an old Omega …
Zenith Rainbow Elite 670 – 1998 – Engagement gift
39mm; 9mm thick. Model 02.0473.670
I have two.
Boschett Harpoon and Damasko DK15.
Only these whites within my collection.
Cheap Heimdallr skx clone and the Damasko DC57.
For years I've been looking for the "perfect" white (silver) dial watch. I love white dials, although I don't have many. Here are the ones currently with me. At the minute, the DJ for me is a really good option.

The 6458 is 38mm and the Genequa is 39mm. The Knot is 36mm but wears much larger as it's all dial

This one with me now.
Some food for thought here, thanks all.
No dive style bezel is where I'm currently thinking but don't want to eliminate as will obviously limit my choices.
These are the two I've been looking at and trying to justify over the last couple of months
Panerai 1087 and IWC xx
I've the seamaster as posted several times and a zenith chronomaster sport. Both are fantastic..... one merry be more fantastic than the other
My only white dial watch

Not looking its brightest, but this is my Citizen AQ4060-50W. One of their +-5 spy HAQ pieces, perpetual calendar. 40mm width. It's off the bracelet right now, but the bracelet is a pretty nice oyster-style three-link type. 20231103_161826.jpg

Linde Werdelin white dial spidolite. 44mm but wears smaller as no lugs. The dial is 40mm.

Off-white, but by some margin my most-worn watch:
White dial watches are hard to pull-off - legibility in all light conditions needs properly contrasting hands and indices, especially if you're a blind old nodder like me...
Seiko White Knight

I'd hate to be with you when you're on your own.
Definitely not a pilot’s watch, but a Grand Seiko Snowflake definitely covers the white dial in spectacular style.
I think that is the best looking version of the Overseas - the markers, hands, dial colour and texture all look good.. Much prefer it to the current model..This one which remains my favourite watch. Also have a white dialled Mondaine but no picture handy!
my only white dial watch, a silvery white really and not a pilot watch;
Back on UTC!
Copied over from yesterday's WRUW thread - an almost NOS condition Seiko 7A38-7289 SAA109J.
I'm also quite partial to these white-dialed Orient J39701-70's, which use the Orient J3920 re-branded Seiko 7A38 movement.

Had this since 1986-ish
Unclealec and Auntiealec in perfect harmony.
How sad is that.
Not exactly pilot, but they do have a certain Bauhaus chic.....

Ahhh that´s lovely Uncle Alec.
Hoping to see an example of the OP 39 White dial, anyone?
It's hard to beat the Snowflake posted below.
There's also this Seiko SPB213, conveniently available on SC right now...
OP: hard to find but if you like the IWC, Sinn has done a few white 556 versions which IMO are all gorgeous!
I really do think the white sea master is my favourite variant of them all over the years. Looks such a great watch especially in the sun.
Only one, I think..............
Sewills Carmania (the design base - the Ulysse Nardin Marine Chronometer)
probably as dressy a watch as I can carry off.

Smiths PRS 25 Everest on leather , other than white dial, fails on every other criteria. So wont sully the thread with a photo :)

I was just about to post that, one passed through my hands fairly recently. It didn’t stay though as I am currently wearing my SPB143 and also have a blue dial SPB297 for the summer months.It's hard to beat the Snowflake posted below.

I always think that a white dial with black hands are the most legible of dials.
Cheers,
Neil.
I currently have 3 white dials in my watchbox.
A Sinn U2-W, A Sinn 104 st sa W and a hodgepodge self assembled Seamaster/Sinn homage, AliExpress case and dial, raffles handset and 6460 with a badly cut stem 🫤
Agree on the Sinn 104…
I forgot these two:
Birth year watch-
and definitely not a pilot, as planes weren't invented then-
Custom NH34 build
I don't think any of my "white" dial watches are actually, really white.
This is about as close as I get:
Sort of an off-white or pale ivory.
One of Andy’’’s
