Great list, Teddy. I love my Omega Aqua Terra blue dial on a stainless steel bracelet with the date window at 6 o’clock. It’s really has a beautiful blue dial that is stunning.
I think you missed some important watches: the Seiko Samurai, which offers several unique blue dials, and the Breitling Superocean Heritage in rosegold and blue or the very interesting '57 special edition - stunningly beautiful watches! For the Moser you presented as the last piece, I don't understand how at this price point they kill it all by using a black datewheel. Thank you Teddy for this again fantastic video! 🧡
Love this format Teddy! Would you consider to continue with other colours? I think black dials or white dials would be interesting as well for example. Greetings from Spain! 🙏❤️
27:03 I'm pleased to see the new JLC Chronograph on the list. I feel like it deserves more attention than it's been getting, because it really is a stunner in person. Though, in my opinion, the blue pops even more with the included blue rubber strap.
Moritz Grossman Primavera with ice blue dial. I’ve been eyeing this one for a while. And since the manufacture does a certain amount of custom work, I’d like to investigate the possibility of a white gold Hamatic, also with an ice blue dial. Yes, I know, the movement is archaic and the hands are an acquired taste but the result would be exquisitely beautiful and certainly unique.
Missed the GS Lake Suwa’s. Both of them. Stunning. Missed the Oris Cotton Candy bronze in robin’s egg blue. Missed the OG cocktail time SRPB41. And the brand new SRPK15.
Me personally, I really love the discontinued tudor bb36 blue. Lovely shade of blue. Also i see blue dials with sunburst everywhere making the dial even more special!
Totally agree. The ice blue PRX is fabulous. The best looking sunburst blue ever, has to be the VC. Best textured organic blue dial IMO the shunbun GS Cherry Blossom
GO SeaQ is my favorite blue dial, absolutely stunning in person! Perfect legibility and vintage charm paired with incredible vibrant sunburst, plus the micro-adjustment bracelet system is unmatched
The Oris diver has another blue textured dial. And Tag Aquaracer 200 is amazing and textured. Both much more interesting than the no-textured ones from Tudor and Rolex that you mentioned.
Seiko Alpinist Ginza should be on the list. Probably Seiko's most beautiful dial. Though it will be impossible to get it now on retail price. But you can go for Alpinist Blue Lake as another option.
Gents of the watchdom - I come to you today with a beginner's dilemna. So...I'm new to the journey and over the last 2 yrs have bought the black Seiko 5 GMT (kinda daily wear, travel watch), a rose gold Orient Sun and Moon (a little too big for me, but but.. its just so gorgeous!), a red Kamasu and the blue gilt Baltic hMS 02 (goes beautifully with a dark suit ...just love it!). As you can see, all fairly mainstream, safe, and bang for the buck choices. Now...I see a lot of watches and feel like buying so many of them! I have on the list - a) Seiko Land Tortoise b) green Zelos Swordfish and c) a budget (quartz) chronograph...possibly a Tissot, or a Yema Rallygraf. I feel that would nicely round up things across dress, diver, field, chrono, different colors, etc. But...what the heart truy desires is a Tank and a Snowflake...so should I hold out and put all the money for those 3 value purchases into the kitty for something truly special? What would you do? Ps: Sigh... too many watches, too little money 😂
Great video, thanks Teddy. I know that you had quite a few Omegas on the list but what about the Seamaster Aqua Terra - that panelled blue dial is really something else!
Great video, as usual. I love the blue of the Nodus Sector Pilot, called Phantom. Texturing gives it some depth, smooth outer ring. I haven't seen it in person, but it would be on my list.
I have the light blue PRX. It's beautiful. The only knock would be that in sunlight it's a little hard to read. The darker blue is probably more practical. What the heck, though? I can live with it.
Love it...but no Rolex Milgauss with Z-Blue dial is a crazy oversight IMO. That watch is one of my all time favorites. The green crystal over that blue makes for some crazy colors in light and dark.
The one I am running with almost everyday is a srpj45k and its honestly what I noticed is it has a few variants for its skeleton dial. Such as a bi linual english+french or english+japanese. has a cousin variant which is orange+black as well.
Great choices! I also would have included the Seiko Alpanist Ginza, Grand Seiko SBGH267 and the Rolex blue fluted dial DJ however I really like the selection here. Interested to see you included Anordian as I would have classified them as a microbrand - would you class them as an independent now?
Great video as always but I’m shocked you didn’t include the Longines Conquest 2023 in your ‘Everyday’ or ‘Refined’ category considering it’s cheaper than the Oris Crown and the dial is stunning.
When it comes to blue dials, no-one beats Vacheron Constantine Blue in my opinion. Glad to see it on the list. My favorite in my collection is the Omega Sea-master AquaTerra small seconds in that teak dial pattern with a light blue-gray color dial. Combined with the rose gold it pops. It should have been on the list imo. I also love my Bluesy as it was always a grail piece for me, but I couldn’t afford a smurf lol.
I like the Longines Big Eye and the JLC Master Thin Moon the best. The same JLC is now available with a blue dial in red gold. Although gold is of course higher quality, I like the steel version much better.
Perfect timing. I've been wanting a blue dial or bezel, perhaps both. Hoping Tudor will release the 58 on jubilee in a beautiful blue...not the Pelagos blue. The Glaschutte Original is gorgeous, just not wanting to drop 10K
@Teddy Baldassarre I'd like to throw my hat in with the seiko SJE079. Line the anordain, it comes with a stunning blue shippo enamel dial. I think it looks better than the Anordain as well. For some reason it's been overlooked by pretty much all major watch UA-camrs.
Nomos is a top wristwatch brand in the world. I have just come across recently one individual who wore Nomos wristwatch in such a charming and stylish way so I realised the real power of the style of Nomos identity.
Kind of a missed opportunity not mentioning the Ulysse Nardin Marine Chronometer or Maxi Marine Diver (especially in rose gold). Glad you mentioned the B&M Clifton though. The crosshair really sets it apart. Gret video.
Everyone has their favorite blue dial watches. Of the ones I have, I missed the Squale 60 Atmos the most on your list. This one is much nicer than the 1521 and the white and blue bezel is phenomenal.
Dude, you can't start with "if the blue does something unique", then not mention the Citizen Promaster Unite with Blue. That blows most of these dials out of the water. I know it's a limited edition, but it's such an underrated dial, that barely anyone talks about.
I was expecting the The Twelve. It was probably excluded because it is very similar to the Tsuyosa and PRX, but I think it has a better dial and is a better watch than a PRX.
The new Nomos Ahoi model really takes me there. Got this spot on with a sensible 38 mm. This model with a short sleeved shirt, somewhere hot😊. Brilliant.
Nice Video. I think it should have a second Part.My this year favorite watch the Seiko SPB 385J1 should be definitly on the List.The Dial is incredible blows your mind.
Great list of beautiful blue dial watches Teddy. One that I tried on that didn’t make your list but I was truly impressed with was the Breitling Superocean Heritage II.
Some great watches on here. I actually have the Seiko Save the Ocean SPB297... A bit heavy, but great size, beautiful rich blue textured dial that is Grand Seiko Heritage-esque, and it's very reasonably priced.
If you want to compare the changing blue color of the Black Bay, compare it to the Seiko SRPG29K1. It goes from dark blue to blackish depending on the light.
You've mentioned a lot of watches, some cheap, some expensive, but you did not mention the TAG Heuer Aquaracer 40mm, the one with the smoky blue dial... I know that some people don't like TAG, but this one is a stunner.
You know how perfume shops have the coffee beans for you to smell and reset your smell? I feel like I’m gonna need to look at a pack of skittles after this video to reset my vision from all the blue.
I'm not a blue dial kinda guy, but if I was, this is the list that would make me feel confident about my next purchase. As always, thanks Teddy & team!
Aquis Bracenet in a blue dial video... you jumped the shark a little here. I know it's a bit of an older model, but for a blue-dial Aquis, it's kinda hard to beat the texture of the Whale Shark.
Great video! I would say that the best Tsuyosa is the fume teal (unfortunately, still not available worldwide). The new Unite Blue for the Citizen Promaster is also quite interesting. But that Oris Cervo Volante... Ohhhh I fall everytime I see it!
What a great choice of video. Can you do a golden watch video?
He did this a month back, if you go to his channel it is like 8 videos down
@@johnnydangusdid he do one for red dials too
A salmón dial video would be awesome!
@@johnnydangusthanks
I love gold watches! I’ve noticed that gold watches look way better on darker skin tones, and I’m criminally pale. Trying to get my tan in haha
I think the blue dial Yachtmaster needed to be on this list. It’s a stunner!
Up
I think we need a Part II blue vid!
Add the blue Sky-Dweller to that list, too!
Another great episode - Black, white and blue are the popular and common dial colors - would be interesting to see a list of brown dials
Brown dials are a tricky one, but my vote would go for the 'Cappuccino' Zenith Chronomaster Revival A385.
Tudor BB58 Bronze
Great list, Teddy. I love my Omega Aqua Terra blue dial on a stainless steel bracelet with the date window at 6 o’clock. It’s really has a beautiful blue dial that is stunning.
Including two plain Tudors and omitting the Brietling Navitimer in Sky Blue is a huge miss for me Teddy - that watch truly stunned me in person
I think you missed some important watches: the Seiko Samurai, which offers several unique blue dials, and the Breitling Superocean Heritage in rosegold and blue or the very interesting '57 special edition - stunningly beautiful watches!

Missed the GS Lake Suwa’s. Both of them. Stunning.
Missed the Oris Cotton Candy bronze in robin’s egg blue.
Missed the OG cocktail time SRPB41. And the brand new SRPK15.
I was thinking also in the Baltic Aquascape, especially because he mentioned it so many times
I was thinking he is bound to miss some blue watches. Who would have thought.
Tudor Royal Blue 41 with Date Day feature, and Mido decompression blue 💙
Me personally, I really love the discontinued tudor bb36 blue. Lovely shade of blue. Also i see blue dials with sunburst everywhere making the dial even more special!
I got instead the BB58 blue very unique blue as well 💙
Agreed! That's the one I want.
I would rather have the new BB36. The Jubilee bracelet looks phenomenal and the markers are larger which is a plus.
I'd like to mention the SRPF77K1 Dark Manta as a runner up for the diver category. It looks so good in person
Totally agree. The ice blue PRX is fabulous. The best looking sunburst blue ever, has to be the VC. Best textured organic blue dial IMO the shunbun GS Cherry Blossom
Great list. Few more additions: Dumoreau DM02, Ming 17.09.
Lake suwa titanium is my fave blue dial
GO SeaQ is my favorite blue dial, absolutely stunning in person! Perfect legibility and vintage charm paired with incredible vibrant sunburst, plus the micro-adjustment bracelet system is unmatched
We need yellow! Nobody talks about yellow watches. But there are few great watches out there!
You've mentioned Baltic watches before. The blue dial of the Baltic dive is gorgeous imo. Easily competes with the Tudor blue dial featured.
The Oris diver has another blue textured dial.
And Tag Aquaracer 200 is amazing and textured.
Both much more interesting than the no-textured ones from Tudor and Rolex that you mentioned.
Seiko Alpinist Ginza should be on the list. Probably Seiko's most beautiful dial. Though it will be impossible to get it now on retail price. But you can go for Alpinist Blue Lake as another option.

Great video, thanks Teddy. I know that you had quite a few Omegas on the list but what about the Seamaster Aqua Terra - that panelled blue dial is really something else!
My favourites are the GO Panomatic Lunar in blue and the CW the Twelve.
The VC Overseas in Rose Gold is the most beautiful watch ever.
Blue dials are my favorite. For guys like me with a limited budget?
Seiko SRPC93 Samurai Save the Ocean and the Vostok 170863 GMT Scuba Dude Batman
That VC Overseas stands out in this crowed of amazing blue dials.
Great video, as usual. I love the blue of the Nodus Sector Pilot, called Phantom. Texturing gives it some depth, smooth outer ring. I haven't seen it in person, but it would be on my list.
You gotta mention the rolex datejust blue fluted-motif dial. It's absolutely killer and easily the most interesting blue dial from Rolex.
wait... no IWC pilot blue dial or the petit prince?
best blue dial is the discontinued breitling colt. mark would be proud. tudor pelagos is nice too
I have the light blue PRX. It's beautiful. The only knock would be that in sunlight it's a little hard to read. The darker blue is probably more practical. What the heck, though? I can live with it.
Love it...but no Rolex Milgauss with Z-Blue dial is a crazy oversight IMO. That watch is one of my all time favorites. The green crystal over that blue makes for some crazy colors in light and dark.
The texture pattern of the dial is very distinctive
The overseas is one of my grails. Probably never get one, but I can dream and admire from afar.
The one I am running with almost everyday is a srpj45k and its honestly what I noticed is it has a few variants for its skeleton dial. Such as a bi linual english+french or english+japanese. has a cousin variant which is orange+black as well.
Great choices! I also would have included the Seiko Alpanist Ginza, Grand Seiko SBGH267 and the Rolex blue fluted dial DJ however I really like the selection here. Interested to see you included Anordian as I would have classified them as a microbrand - would you class them as an independent now?
If money wasn’t a problem, I’d go F.P. Journe. Perfectly minimalistic and easy to read, being also astonishing to look at.
Oris Aquis date 39.5mm, blue dial, tungsten bezel is one of Oris best blue dials! IMO
For me the standout is the Grand Seiko blue frost. That is an exquisite dial. Also since I am a Tudor fan boy I will say the Pelagos as my number 2
Great video, would love a white dial version as well!
That Oris Aquis date window looks so jagged @14:39
TAG Carrera Glassbox blue looks awesome
Great video as always but I’m shocked you didn’t include the Longines Conquest 2023 in your ‘Everyday’ or ‘Refined’ category considering it’s cheaper than the Oris Crown and the dial is stunning.
When it comes to blue dials, no-one beats Vacheron Constantine Blue in my opinion. Glad to see it on the list. My favorite in my collection is the Omega Sea-master AquaTerra small seconds in that teak dial pattern with a light blue-gray color dial. Combined with the rose gold it pops.

Omega World Timer....wow.....did not know that one.....love it.
The AP 11:59 blue dial is spectacular-surprised you did not include it. I have the Baume-Mercier and love it.
Bravo! How about a look at green dials? Thank you.
He already did that: ua-cam.com/video/3imJoexe0VE/v-deo.html
A watch that I wear for travel and it has become a favorite is the Bulova Wilton GMT in a blue dial. Great looking and very functional.
Santos with the blue dial and applied silver Roman numerals is a killer!
I like the Longines Big Eye and the JLC Master Thin Moon the best. The same JLC is now available with a blue dial in red gold. Although gold is of course higher quality, I like the steel version much better.
Perfect timing. I've been wanting a blue dial or bezel, perhaps both. Hoping Tudor will release the 58 on jubilee in a beautiful blue...not the Pelagos blue. The Glaschutte Original is gorgeous, just not wanting to drop 10K
I see the Pelagos Blue very similar to the Rolex Smurf, the last one looks nicer
I have blue dial yacht master, Aqua Terra, BB58,datejust & Monaco. Got a few black & white dials watches but I’m a sucker for a bluesie 😅
@Teddy Baldassarre I'd like to throw my hat in with the seiko SJE079. Line the anordain, it comes with a stunning blue shippo enamel dial. I think it looks better than the Anordain as well. For some reason it's been overlooked by pretty much all major watch UA-camrs.
MY FAVORITES BLUE DIAL WATCHES ARE THE Glashutte SeaQ and the classic Tag Monaco
The Seiko sharp edge gmt in blue is a beautiful watch with such a unique dial.
Grand Seiko SBGK015 Ryusendo. I love this dial.
The Vacheron Overseas is amazing. I love the baby blue Seiko you ßhow.
I cannot fight . I am always attracted by JLC and OMEGA. There is so much amazing blue dials. Thank You.
I like tissot,tudor and Nomos those are the best blue for me. Teddy you are the best. 👍
Nomos is a top wristwatch brand in the world. I have just come across recently one individual who wore Nomos wristwatch in such a charming and stylish way so I realised the real power of the style of Nomos identity.
so many but I do like the twelve titanium from Christopher Ward, good looker on the rubber strap (my preference) and at a good price point
Kind of a missed opportunity not mentioning the Ulysse Nardin Marine Chronometer or Maxi Marine Diver (especially in rose gold). Glad you mentioned the B&M Clifton though. The crosshair really sets it apart. Gret video.
Everyone has their favorite blue dial watches. Of the ones I have, I missed the Squale 60 Atmos the most on your list. This one is much nicer than the 1521 and the white and blue bezel is phenomenal.
Rolex Milgauss Zblue dial is class.
Any regular blue dial by Rolex is typically killer.. DJ and/or Skydweller in blue, as examples.
Agree. I have this and it is by far my most worn piece. Absolutely love it, and will become more desirable in time.
Dude, you can't start with "if the blue does something unique", then not mention the Citizen Promaster Unite with Blue. That blows most of these dials out of the water.
I know it's a limited edition, but it's such an underrated dial, that barely anyone talks about.
I was expecting the The Twelve. It was probably excluded because it is very similar to the Tsuyosa and PRX, but I think it has a better dial and is a better watch than a PRX.
Thoughts on Laarvee Pea001 “Crash” watch? Specifically the Turquoise color
I love blue color. Thank you
Great list but needs some Seiko love! I’d add the beautiful blue SLA063 and SRQ039. ❤❤
The new Nomos Ahoi model really takes me there. Got this spot on with a sensible 38 mm. This model with a short sleeved shirt, somewhere hot😊. Brilliant.
I'd love to see a red dial version of this video 😍
Nice Video. I think it should have a second Part.My this year favorite watch the Seiko SPB 385J1 should be definitly on the List.The Dial is incredible blows your mind.
Great list of beautiful blue dial watches Teddy. One that I tried on that didn’t make your list but I was truly impressed with was the Breitling Superocean Heritage II.
I’m with you Teddy
Smurf over hulk - would be epic to own
My request is for watches that chime/alarm, make some other unique sound (Seiko Metronome) in all budgets. Please make it happen Teddy!
Some great watches on here. I actually have the Seiko Save the Ocean SPB297... A bit heavy, but great size, beautiful rich blue textured dial that is Grand Seiko Heritage-esque, and it's very reasonably priced.
I would have picked the VC Overseas Ultrathin Perpetual Calendar in rose gold. Ref: 4300V/120R-B509
You left out the longines master moonphase chronometer, love it.
Could you do a video of wearing a watch on the inner wrist, and best watches to wear that way.
If you want to compare the changing blue color of the Black Bay, compare it to the Seiko SRPG29K1. It goes from dark blue to blackish depending on the light.
Nice summary. I'm eyeing up the Chopard Alpine Eagle blue dial currently, which is another great option
Great video! Christopher Ward (not a micro brand anymore) Twelve, Seiko sharp edged blue and Seiko SPB157 blue textured Alpinist also worthy.
You've mentioned a lot of watches, some cheap, some expensive, but you did not mention the TAG Heuer Aquaracer 40mm, the one with the smoky blue dial... I know that some people don't like TAG, but this one is a stunner.
Citizen Unite the Blue Promaster Diver should be a honorable mention
You know how perfume shops have the coffee beans for you to smell and reset your smell? I feel like I’m gonna need to look at a pack of skittles after this video to reset my vision from all the blue.
I only have 2 at the moment. I have the Rolex bluesy and the tissot prx baby blue
I'm not a blue dial kinda guy, but if I was, this is the list that would make me feel confident about my next purchase. As always, thanks Teddy & team!
One additional thought the Tag Huer Glass Box Carrera in Blue
The Citizen chronomaster with the blue washi paper dial
Aquis Bracenet in a blue dial video... you jumped the shark a little here. I know it's a bit of an older model, but for a blue-dial Aquis, it's kinda hard to beat the texture of the Whale Shark.
Excellent video! Please make one for green dial.
Teddy buddy. That first one looks like the Hulk!!!
Seems as though we both have great taste. Some of my favourite watches are here too. Thank you Teddy!
Nice collection. Also check the Seiko srpc65k1; it's unique.
Tiffany Blue dial is top tier !!!!!!!
Great video! I would say that the best Tsuyosa is the fume teal (unfortunately, still not available worldwide). The new Unite Blue for the Citizen Promaster is also quite interesting.
But that Oris Cervo Volante... Ohhhh I fall everytime I see it!
For me the best blue dial watch is the Tag Heuer Aquaracer professional 200. It's just amazing for the price.
Can't wait for the red dials video.
Teddy make similar videos for watches with White Dials also . Blue is very common!
Best independents (at different price points) video next!
