If you're obsessed with salmon dials, our watch picks are sure to delight you! Check our best watches with salmon dials as listed below.
1. Baltic Prismic Salmon - Bracelet
This stunner of a cocktail watch takes you back to the 1920s. Its vintage looks and polished feel make it a dress watch you're sure to gravitate towards often.
A guilloché pattern radiates outward from the centre of the dial and is reflected in the thin ring against the rehaut. Sandwiched between these is a brushed sector topped with shiny applied indices. A textured seconds sub-dial at 6 o'clock keeps the layout symmetric. Enclosing this setup is a retro-looking domed sapphire crystal and a 36mm case made of stainless steel and titanium.
The Prismic is driven by the ETA Peseux 7001 movement on display through the caseback.
2. Furlan Marri Mechanical Salmon Sector Ref. 2154-A
Embrace the pink trend with this '40s-inspired, and thankfully no longer limited edition, dressy sector dial from Furlan Marri. Its premium look and feel belies its affordable price tag.
Yes, the watch does draw elements—a peripheral track, applied Breguet numerals, curved handset, stepped case, cornes de vache lugs—from various vintage designs, but for all that, it manages to present a cohesive front and stand on its own.
At the heart of this 37.5mm timepiece is the La Joux-Perret G100 movement, which has a palladium-coated tungsten rotor and a hacking seconds function.
3. Atelier Wen Perception Xia 霞
Step outside this Swiss watching mould with Atelier Wen's Perception lineup. Boasting a stunning, hand-crafted guilloché dial by a master Chinese artisan, the salmon edition evokes a sense of serenity and fascination for ancient Chinese culture and aesthetics.
The China-made SL1588 movement from Dandong/Peacock with 41 hours of autonomy brings the Perception to life. The watch comes with a 100 metre water resistance rating and a screw-down crown to complete the package.
4. Nivada Grenchen Antarctic Spider Salmon
If you want to make an impression with a sporty chic vibe, take a chance on the 38mm Antarctic Spider Salmon.
The sunray-finished dial has eight "spider legs" reaching out from the centre of the dial to meet eight vertical baton indices, which skip the 3, 6, 9, 12 positions. A date window at 3 o'clock is balanced by the Nivada signature at 9 o'clock. Overall, the spider-patterned dial is equal parts charming and quirky. Who knew a terrifying arthropod could inspire such a beautiful watch?
The SOPROD P024, a Swiss-made self-winding movement powers this timepiece, and a screw-down crown adds water resistance of 100m.
5. Fears Brunswick 38 Salmon
Add class to any outfit with this 38mm cushion-cased timepiece on your wrist.
The Brunswick's time-only setup has anthracite-coated, hand-applied numerals and PVD-coated skeletonised hands. The seconds sub-dial at 6 o'clock has an azurage finish that makes it pop.
Small touches like a serial number engraved between the lugs at 12 and hand-applied vertical brushing on the dial render each piece unique. The dial has a rich salmon hue achieved with a galvanic coating of 18ct rose gold and copper.
6. Nivada Grenchen Chronoking Mecaquartz Salmon
It's back to the '70s with this 38mm reissue that captures the spirit of the original Chronoking. The dressiness of the salmon-toned (tricompax) dial is visibly countered by the black bezel insert and the black-and-white accents. Water resistance of 100m further adds to the versatility of the watch.
As the "mecaquartz" in the name of this timepiece suggests, it's essentially battery powered and equipped with a mechanical chronograph module. In this case, the calibre happens to be Seiko VK63, which is produced by Seiko Instruments for non-Seiko watch brands.
7. Studio UnderD0g 03 Series Salm0n
Give your wrist a jazzy makeover with this charming beauty powered by a Swiss Sellita Mono-pusher SW510M, which is visible through the caseback.
Studio UnderD0g, known for its experimental indie spirit, puts its unique spin on the ever-popular salmon dial, securing its place among reputable brands.
The company has taken an unexpected approach to designing the salmon dial, drawing inspiration not from the fillet's rosy hue but the fish's silvery skin. This gives the dial a distinctive grayish tone, with hints of salmon pink reserved for one counter and the outer tachymeter scale. For those seeking a watch that stands out from the crowd, this one delivers.
Add a splash of fun and colour to your watch collection with one of these best watches with salmon dials. If you have a free moment, stop by our Watch Discovery Studio on Collins Street, Melbourne, to admire these beauties up close. Try them on and see if one feels right for you.
