As with most Meistersingers, the Neo is a one hander that is less about precision time-telling and more about style and concept, and at 36mm with a large domed acrylic crystal, it nails the style part. Hopefully we’ll get one these to review someday soon. You can take your pick from amongst them, but I have a soft spot for their smallest and most affordable model, the Neo. Meistersinger has had a strong blue game for several years now, with beautiful sapphire dials on several of their models. They also paired it with a bright tan strap that emphasized the dial perfectly. In person, it was entracing…and though I might still be partial to their gray dials, it’s a strong blue offering. The new blue is cold and steely, and on the dark side, but has a metallic sheen from the radial finishing. The domed dials and elegant cases makes these uniquely stunning and pleasure to look at. To start, the Meister Chronoscope, which while different from the Max Bill Chronoscope, still has a minimal German feel, is one of the most stunning modern dress chronos. Junghans Meister ChronoscopeĪt Basel this year, Junghans released a new version of their killer Meister Chronoscope with a new sharp blue dial. Shockingly good deal at £575/$843 (outside of EU).
The satin finish will temper the blue a bit, reigning the watch in just a bit. There is the standard version with a polished steel case, but for something more subtle, our friends over at Page & Cooper are offering (currently in pre-order) a satin cased version that I think will be the way to go. It’s crisp and clear like the oceans it wants to be in and the skies above them. This is one of the louder blues in this guide, but it still has lots of charm. Though typically seen in black, Squale makes a bright blue with blue bezel option. It’s not just an authentic dive watch with a great, albeit slightly unknown, history, it’s a great value too. We love the Squale 1521 and so should you. Below is a list of 10 watches, in no particular order, that by no means comprises the totality of what’s out there, but does provide a range of styles and blue tones to consider. Whether a dark chocolate, a bright orange chestnut or a mahogany with hints of red… when matched against the right blue, they both come to life, making pairing with shoes, belts and of course straps all the more enjoyable. Pairing a blue dial with the right tone of brown makes both sing in a way that rarely occurs with black or white dials. And, by being brighter and more lively, blue dials tend to feel better suited to the warmer months.īut perhaps my favorite thing about blue is how well it goes with brown leather. It lends itself to both formal and casual watches, and since there is a never ending range of blues, from dark to light, verging on turquoise to near purple, you can likely find a blue that speaks to your style.
But if you had a few watches, and wanted one with some color, but not too much color, just enough to make it stand out, yet not clash with your attire like an orange dial might then blue is a good choice. By nature, they are less versatile, more stylized and showy. If you only had one watch, I’d say, don’t get a blue watch. Blue dialed watches are…well, and interesting change of pace. Every year at Basel people proclaim that blue is making a come back… but I dare say, it never left.
