Only watch - in house black

Other black watches in collection - in house blue


I like the blue version a lot, it's a nice color, but wouldn't want it as an only watch I don't think.

I started a thread called "pelagos preference poll" search my history and take a look 👍.

I think I like the blue overall. But the LHD and eta black are also nice. In-house black being the clear loser.

well i was lucky enough to try on all 4 today, and to be honest the black eta with the extra lume at 3 o'clock did seem more balanced. the lhd was something different

I like the black best but not super fond of blue. If you want a nice blue dial can't get much better till you spend out on a Smurf.. the LHD not sure about. Maybe if I injured my left arm and had to wear a watch in the right

Blue or black, I just don't like the 5 lines of writing, I know that sounds petty but I don't think you need that much on a dive watch.

The blue is great, but when I had it it felt a bit too much to wear sometimes. It's very blue. I would go lhd, as in this case the faux vintage works and softens the look a bit.
That said, I'm in Greece now and wish I had the blue again. Would be lovely as a holiday watch.

I couldn't decide........so ended up with these......irrationally I wouldn't rule out getting an ETA to complete the set. If I had to choose it would be the blue
