Introducing 10 blue dial watches that are perfect for both sporty and classic styles!

Blue dials have been a trend in the watch industry for years and are likely to remain popular for years to come, as they offer the advantage of standing out more than metallic, white, or black dials, yet remaining more understated than red or green dials.

Brands are using blue in all different tones. But why is this color so popular? Perhaps it's because it pairs well with both sporty and classic models. Blue dial watches are truly all-rounders. Here, we'll introduce 10 blue dial watch models.

オーデマ ピゲ「Royal オーク “ジャンボ” キシトラシン」

　The Royal Oak "Jumbo" Extra-Thin is a 50th anniversary model. This stainless steel model features Audemars Piguet's signature blue dial with a petite tapisserie pattern. The case is just 8.1mm thick and is equipped with the new, ultra-thin automatic caliber 7121. This caliber 7121 replaces the historic caliber 2121, which has been used in the Royal Oak since its debut. This model is difficult to obtain.

IWC Pilot's Watch Automatic Edition "Laureus Sport for Good"

　The Pilot's Watch Automatic "Laureus Sport for Good" is the first Laureus special edition to feature a blue ceramic case. The indices and hands are coated with luminous paint, enhancing their visibility against the blue dial. A soft-iron inner cage protects the movement from magnetic fields. It is paired with a rubber strap with textile inserts. IWC donates a portion of the sales of this model to Laureus Sport for Good, an organization that uses sport to contribute to society.

Oris "Divers 65 Caliber 400 Chronos Limited Edition"

The Oris Divers Sixty-Five Calibre 400 Chronos Limited Edition features a stainless steel bezel, a first for the Divers Sixty-Five collection. The no-date ice blue dial has a gradient that gradually darkens from the center to the periphery, and features a sunburst finish. As the name suggests, this is a collaboration model between Oris and the German version of Chronos, and is sold in a limited edition of 200 pieces worldwide.

Fortis "Stratoliner S-41 Blue Japan"

　The Fortis Stratoliner S-41 is part of the collection, designed with space travelers in mind. It is equipped with the Caliber WERK17, a column-wheel chronograph movement that is the world's first to be tested and certified in the harsh conditions of the stratosphere.

　The Blue Japan Edition adds a little fun: the red and white coloring of the second hand means that if the second hand were to move at lightning speed, it would create an afterimage of a red circle in the center of the dial, resembling the Japanese flag.

Mido "Ocean Star Anniversary Architecture Model"

　Mido's Ocean Star Anniversary Architecture Model is inspired by the Europa Point Lighthouse, a monument in the Strait of Gibraltar. Its design, featuring a matte dial, a fabric strap with red stitching, and a varnished second hand reminiscent of a lighthouse, combines blue with red for a marine feel. The case back is also engraved with a lighthouse. The automatic movement, Caliber 80, offers a power reserve of approximately 80 hours.

NOMOS Glashütte "Ahoy Date Atlantic"

　The Nomos Ahoi Date Atlantic features a sporty design with a deep blue dial and Super-LumiNova-coated hands and indexes. The screwed caseback is transparent, allowing visitors to see the movement, which features a Glashütte-style three-quarter plate and rhodium-plated surface. The textile strap, color-coordinated with the dial, is tailor-made in France exclusively for the brand.

Damascus "DK30"

　The DK30 is equipped with a movement manufactured in-house by German watch manufacturer Damasco. This automatic movement uses a ceramic bearing in the rotor, improving winding efficiency by approximately 10% compared to previous models. The case is made of patented "submarine steel," which is approximately four times harder than stainless steel, the standard in the watch industry. The dial indexes and hands are coated with luminous paint, ensuring visibility even in the dark.

Formex "Field Petrol Blue"

　The Formex Field Petrol Blue features a petrol blue dial and a hardened, sandblasted grade 2 titanium case. The slightly recessed Arabic numerals are filled with old radium-colored Super-LumiNova, creating a retro look that complements the dial color.

Searchina "DS Action Diver"

　Certina's DS Action Diver features a scratch-resistant ceramic unidirectional rotating bezel. The hands and indices are coated with Super-LumiNova for underwater legibility. This ISO-certified diver's watch is powered by the Powermatic 80.611 movement, a modified ETA movement. It features a balance spring made from Nivachron, a non-magnetic alloy.

Titoni "Scooper 600"

　The Titoni Seescorper 600 features a dark blue dial and unidirectional rotating bezel. Its robust case and specially sealed crown ensure it is water resistant to 60 bar. The strap, manufactured by Swiss Tide Ocean SA, is made from marine plastic.
