What is your favorite blue dial watch?
Just wondering what watch or type of watch that everyone likes in blue? I personally have almost exclusively black or white dial watches but I really enjoy my Longines Master Collection Moon Phase in blue. Really I like most moon phase watches in blue.
Of course there is also the question of what type of blue dial? Sunburst, matte, light, dark, etc. I tend to like matte blue dials myself outside of the Longines. They tend to show up on dive watches though and I am just not a dive watch person so not a lot of models that have intrigued me.

While I love blue, I agree with Keith Urban.. Blue looks good on the sky.
I've yet to see a blue watch that wows me.
I’ve got a 90s Seamaster and Cocktail Time in blue and those are very different dials but I like them both! I also have a black dial Black Bay 41 that i opted for over the blue because I guess I like something other than matte for my blue dials.
I have... a few
I didn't intend to buy multiple blue dial watches, but it just kind of happened.
Omega 2531.80.00
Tissot PRX Powermatic 80. Nuff said. 😛
Favorite that I own: Tissot pr100 titanium
Fav that I want to own: Oris Aquis cal 400
I will never own this watch but this is my favorite blue dial.
They are all mesmerizing
For me there is absolutely no contest: The Dietrich SD-1 has the best dial in my collection.
jlc master blue
Spoiled for choice here:
The simple elegance coupled with the splashy blue sundial of the Cocktail Time Blue Moon is hard to beat. (Not the best pic of it, but the only one I have on hand at the moment)
I have a few watches in my collection with blue dials. I added the IWC Pilots Watch Chronograph 41 to my collection this week, and it joins an Oris Aquis Great Barrier Reef III, a Zelos Horizons V2 and an Omega SMP with the "Electric Blue" wave dial. Each has it's own unique charms, and I'm not sure that I could pick a favorite (although, if cornered, I'd give the nod to the IWC, but that may just because it's so new to my collection.). Trying to pick a favorite from the universe of all blue dial watches seems impossible. So many awesome choices.
I love this blue. In person it just looks so good.

Love the colour on the Mont Blanc
I have two and I love them both.
I love this type of thread !! It’s time to show off some blue dials in the collection.. ok here’s my favorites 😂😉…
Love that new blue Citizen 😍
Love my blue Sinn. Pictures don’t do this dial justice, especially in the sun!
Absolutely not from my collection but the F.P Journe Chronomètre bleu is mesmerizing to me
The Moser Funky Blue always catches me for hours
And, from my more modest collection, I love the blue of my SNKL43
And the Blue sunburst dial of my Timex S1
Blue is probably my favourite dial color
Omega Aqua Terra with caliber 8500.
There’s light blue and dark blue

does a blue bezel count?
and then I have the BBB58
Have to go with my Seiko GPS Here as Copper on Blue just set it off.
I have a few blue dials but if I had the money for one more…
First off love the master. Got it in black. Loved the Roman numeral on that one. However that blue is beautiful. this seiko Recraft is my blue dial and only square shaped case. Love the shape and the colour. Great price under 300 cad when I got it. Gets tons of wrist time cuz I don’t worry about dinging it up a bit. Can’t see this leaving my collection.
My blues:
I have 2 favourite blue dial watches. The first is the FP Journe chronometre bleu and the second is the Vacheron Constantin v4500 overseas. Both have radiant blue dials in my opinion. Colour is subjective, so another option would be going with an independent watch maker than makes bespoke watches to your preference. May I recommend sartory billard. Arhmed (the watch maker) will work with you to create a watch dial to how you want it. A one of one.
