You can never go wrong with a blue dial, but there are so many beautiful watches to choose from it can be overwhelming. Here are our top picks to help you decide.
1. MIDO Multifort TV Big Date - Gradient Blue Dial
The MIDO Multifort TV Big Date already has a lot to offer, but it takes it up a notch with its sophisticated blue gradient dial.
This iconic vintage TV-shape with individually moving numbers on the big date function is an absolute treat. It's powered by MIDO's Caliber 80 signifying the 80-hour power reserve and it's housed in a 40mm steel case that's beautifully brushed with a polished bevel on the back.
The dual-finish bezel is also a finely brushed surface surrounded by a large, black-polished bevel that matches great with the H-linked dual-finish bracelet. This watch is easy to get lost in and fall in love with.
2. Tissot PRX Powermatic 80 - Light Blue
This Tissot PRX in light blue is reminiscent of retrofuturistic, ultra-clean designs with a strong blue cast over everything. It's a nostalgic vintage design, with a dial that looks like you're looking over a bunch of identical buildings in a sci-fi movie—mesmerising.
Inside its 40mm stainless steel case is Tissot's Powermatic 80, an impressive 80-hour power reserve movement that's proven reliable. The bezel is round and polished, contrasting nicely with the brushed case and Y-link bracelet.
3. Studio Underd0g 02SERIES Steffany Blue
Studio Underd0g is a small team who creates some of the most fun and daring contemporary watch designs the horological industry has seen. The best watch brands tend to be quite serious, and with their rich and long heritage, they deserve to be. However, Studio Underd0g was only established in 2021 and they wanted to make serious watches with unserious designs.
In their 02Series of field watches, this custom colour Studio Underd0g calls "Steffany Blue" with orange hands, floating text, and domed crystal; it's a watch that's easy to digest and lifts the spirits. It's got an almost toy-like allure to it, waking the child inside. It's especially fun in the dark as the orange hands and blue undermost layer of the dial glow brightly. However, this watch is far from toy-like in construction.
Its 37mm brushed stainless steel case houses a manual-wind Sellita SW210-1 with a 42-hour reserve. It's a watch built like traditionally, but designed contemporarily, bringing the best of two worlds together.
4. Baltic Aquascaphe Classic Blue Gilt - Beads of Rice
Blue and gold are a classic combination that rarely ever goes wrong. This Baltic Aquascaphe takes that colourway to a new level.
This nautically inspired watch is perfect for the vintage lover who needs a watch with modern features to survive daily use. Featuring 200m water resistance, and the Miyota 9039 42-hour movement, housed in a 39mm stainless steel case, you won't have to worry about having to treat it like a baby.
Its stylish beads of rice bracelet, beautiful design, and modern construction make it a great daily watch that bridges classic aesthetics and modern reliability.
5. Hamilton Khaki Field Mechanical 38mm
Wearing the blue Hamilton Khaki Field is like wearing a naval uniform that you can wear to any occasion and situation.
Housed in the 38mm fine blasted-finish case is Hamilton's manual-wind H-50 movement with an 80-hour power reserve hidden behind a playful blue and beige dial. While being a serious watch, the round font and colours keep things interesting yet practically legible.
6. DOXA SUB 200 Aquamarine, stainless steel bracelet
DOXA's modern SUB 200 dive watch in a brilliant teal colour is a must-have for dive watch and blue dial lovers.
Its brilliant dial is also equally as brilliant in the dark or in the depths of the sea as its coated with Super-LumiNova, one of the most intense luminescent coatings you can have on a watch. Over it is a lovely domed crystal surrounded by a rotating bezel you can use for safely decompressing. Its 38-hour reserve movement is housed in a 42mm stainless steel casing with a crown showing DOXA's fish logo for a bit more colour.
7. Nivada Grenchen F77 Lapis Lazuli
Nivada Grenchen's F77 collection includes the most naturally luxurious dials you can find. The genuine Lapis Lazuli dials are all one of a kind and no two dials will ever have the same pattern.
Its 37mm Royal Oak-inspired stainless steel case houses a Swiss Soprod P024 no-date movement so you can enjoy a full Lapis Lazuli dial with no cutouts. This masterpiece isn't just for the eyes, it can also handle adventure with a 100m water resistance and sporty 3-link bracelet.
