I've got it in my head that I need a watch with a blue dial on a strap.

These catch my eye. Any other suggestions welcome.

I saw one of these in my local jewellers the other day and was smitten.



Quite a few interesting features:
Its a count down bezel as opposed to elapsed time and is bi-directional.
Case is titanium.
Uses a highly modified ETA 2893 movement (hand wound).

Uses a unique strap system too. There are a few reviews on the internet.
In the flesh it looks stunning.

I'm not a Breitling fan normally, but a customer of mine was wearing this the other day and it was lovely.

It's IWC's 150th anniversary this year, and they're offering a range of watches with a lacquered blue dial. This is the Tribute to Pallweber in steel. It's got a mechanical digital display.



There's also a Big Pilot's watches with a big date or annual calendar complications, a Portofino, and a Da Vinci.

I love mine - although you can only buy used and it took me about a year to find one :

FP Journe Chronomètre Bleu. I'm surprised that no-one has suggested this yet, as it's even got blue in its name. smile



Angelus U50 Diver Tourbillon. OK, it's only got a partial dial...



Fiona Kruger Petit Skull Blue.



A Lange & Söhne Saxonia Thin Copper Blue.



There must be something in the water, because Glashütte Original offers some stunning blue dials. This is the Sixties, though the current model looks a bit different.



Cartier Ballon Bleu Flying Tourbillon, for when you truly have to blow the budget...

Yes I am not sure why I want a blue dial watch but I do.

Current favourites are the Parmigiani in my first post or a Datejust of some sort, though I don’t think they are available on a strap. I don’t want the cost of the weight of a Day Date, though they do look good.

It's really easy to buy a quality strap and put it on a Datejust.
