Help Blue Watch

Hello Everyone,

Need some opinions. I would like to get a blue face watch. As of now I’m between these two.

1. Omega Seamaster Planer Ocean 600m Omega Co-Axial 42mm 232.90.42.21.03.001

2. Tudor Pelagos (Blue)

3. Any other recommendations..

Thank You,

Just as an FYI, the Omega 42mm PO is discontinued. Now it’s either a 39.5 or 43.5mm.

.

This is true but there are plenty for sale in the various for sale sections.

There is always the Seamaster Diver 300 ceramic or the titanium Master Co-Axial that have blue dials. There is also the Planet Ocean Goodplanet GMT that has a blue dial and bezel. It is 43.5mm though

Have you looked at the newer Omega Moonphase in the blue dial?

Really people??? IWC makes the ultimate blue dials. Check our the IWC port Chrono, or any Petite Price pilot they offer with the blue dial. I am wearing my Mark XVIII blue dial as I type this, the dial is absolutely stunning.

I am biased, but I’d take a look at the new speedy Apollo 17 LE. I have it and love it although I am sure some don’t, but I think the blue ceramic is great in the way it changes in the light....

Aqua Terra with a blue dial is hard to beat. Just my $.02.

Don’t know what your budget is but the Rolex Blue Dial Sub
is another option... 5 or 6 digit reference.
It’s different enough from your ND Sub or GMT that
it’ll fit right in with your collection... imho

Based on your current collection it looks like you definitely need an Omega or an IWC. Or maybe even wait for the new JLC Polaris models with the blue dials.

You have a great collection of sports watches.

To change it up maybe consider a blue Rolex Datejust II or Datejust 41?
