Orange or Turquoise?

Hi Everyone! 
 

Some of you may already know me as Kyle the Owner/Designer of Straton Watch as well as Signum Watch. 
 

In a few months time I will be dropping new colors of the Straton Speciale, to date Stratons most popular model selling out 7 production runs. The two new variants will feature a sandpaper texture dial, polished 42mm x 41.5mm case with clear DLC coating to keep it from scratching. Initially with the VK67 meca-quartz (a movement without the useless 24 hour subdial) and later I will introduce the Valjoux 7750 Automatic versions with day/date. 
 

To guage which of these two colors would be more popular, I will be making both just that I will make more of the one thats more popular. So please choose which you prefer even if you not interested in the watch itself :) Orange or Turquoise? 
 

Appreciate the input! 
 

Regards Kyle

Orange for me :)
I have to say the the strap is doing a lot in this decision. 

Good luck on your decision and next drop!

Thank you! Appreciate the feedback 🙏

Orange would be my pick. Turquoise or any shade near Tiffany blue is probably on trend right now tho. But I think orange befits something that is more racing inspired! Nice job on this one, I think both would be pretty successful 🤙

Appreciate it! thank you 🙏

Orange for me. Love your watches.

·

Orange. Just follow the science.

·

Both look amazing, but there is something about the orange one that puts it ahead. 

·

Both with the Valjoux 7750!

·

Orange! There are too many blues to choose from... And the strap looks great

·

I think the legibility looks better for the orange as the black small hands seem to contrast more with the dial.

That being said, am going to be awkward as I do still prefer the blue ☺️

·

Orange is better I think although it is quite close. Good luck with your product launch!

·

Half and half? Gulf logo style.

·

Both look great, but I think I prefer the turquoise here because it shows more texture of the dial. Maybe that’s just me though?

·

I prefer orange. 

·

Ha it looks like orange is a clear winner so far. I am with turquoise as it is a bit more subtle 

·

What a sweet looking watch. I have to say the orange is sharp and most definitely my choice. The turquoise one is very reminiscent of the Tiffany trademark color so that's a bit of a turn off for me personally. 

Good luck with it - I think either one will be a hit for sure. 

·

My vote is on the orange dial.

·

Orange is time tested. The blue is trendy. Both are winners

·

Orange for me.👍

·

Wow. This is my first time on this platform and I find a brand I need a watch from!! 
 

it’s the orange for me all the way! Can’t wait to pick up some other pieces from your catalogue! I’m loving what I see so far 

·

Orange for me as well

That would be awesome to have true Gulf colors on a Speciale - Gulf Blue and Orange - Kyle if you release one in those colors count me in immediately especially if it has the Valjoux 7750.

I think the enthusiast community will gravitate more towards the orange due to the sportier nature and higher legibility.

However, the less 'hardcore' enthusiast would definitely pick the blue.

And in my mind, there is more of the latter group than the former. So I would think if this is a business decision, my view is go with the blue instead.

·

Well for me personally I would say orange but currently everything that goes slightly into Tiffany turquoise is quite popular so maybe this would be the better choice.

·

Orange is my favorite

·

I'm 100% with @chronotriggered here. I think if it were just the choice of Orange or Turquoise I'd probably just pick Orange. But if you could get both colours onto the dial (Gulf stripes, subdials, whatever) I think that would look great. 

·

I don't normally like blue dials, but that turquoise dial looks beautiful 👌🏻

·

Yes to orange.  Can’t get into the turquoise.

·

Orange looks great! 

·

Definitely the Orange one mate, I think it will be you're best seller. Tiffany blue is all the rage at the moment but that will die down at some point but the orange will be a classic that will stand the test of time. You can put me down for an orange one with the Mecca Quartz, just in the Blue Mountains near Sydney, I'll send my details once they come out 😜 😂
