Round-UpDelightful Hues: Coloured Watches To Beat The Monsoon Blues

In the past few years, there has been a surge in the production of coloured watches. Ranging from vibrant greens and blues to salmon-dial models and purple pieces, coloured watches are gaining prominence among horophiles. And, unlike in the past where only the dials provided a vivid landscape, today, straps, bezels, hour markers, crowns, lugs, and cases also feature dazzling hues. Think shades of pink, orange, yellow, and red, completely covering the watch with their bold allure. Besides adding a pop of colour to one’s wrist, these timekeepers also help in uplifting the mood and jazzing up any outfit.

With that in mind, one can opt for a solid-hued timepiece this monsoon to beat the seasonal gloom. Here is a wide range of colourful watches—clubbed on the basis of their unique hue—to pick from, for an elevated look.

Orange              

The colour of optimism and happiness, orange in its varied tones is widely seen on contemporary watches today. Take for instance the Nomos Club Campus 38 Future Orange featuring a honey-coloured dial, with a small seconds sub-dial at six o’clock. On the other hand, the TAG Heuer Aquaracer Professional 300 Orange Diver has a bright orange dial (colour of safety on the seas) lending a playful vibe to an otherwise robust model. For those seeking something more striking, consider fully-coloured watches like the Doxa SUB 200 Professional or the limited-edition Chronoswiss Space Timer Solaris. While the former features a dial, rubber strap, the Doxa fish symbol on the crown, and the markings on the bezel in a striking orange hue, the latter—with the date and moon phase features–has a fabric strap and a 3D nano-printed dial, reflecting the surface of the sun, in a fiery orange shade.

Pink

Bubblegum pink dominated 2023 due to the ‘Barbiecore’ frenzy. Today, this hue and its variants, denoting femininity, remain popular in clothing and accessories, including watches. For instance, the Frederique Constant Classics Art Déco Round and the Zenith Defy Skyline 36 feature dials in the soothing bubblegum pink. The TAG Heuer Carrera Date (also worn by actor Ryan Gosling), on the other hand, features a dial in the lively Barbie pink. If one wants a classic watch with a slightly unique shade of pink then they can go for the Omega Seamaster Aqua Terra Shades featuring a sun brushed shell-pink dial with a date window at six o’clock. Alternatively, if one wants to go all out then they can choose either the Nomos Club Campus 38 Deep Pink or the tone-on-tone Oris Divers Sixty-Five ‘Cotton Candy’.

Green

Whether in lime or emerald, green watches always stand out for their sense of calm and freshness. If one wants a timepiece in a bright pine green then the Big Pilot’s Watch 43 by IWC is ideal. One can also opt for the tone-on-tone Junghans Meister fein Automatic with a moss green dial and apple green leather strap and hour markers—with diamonds at 12 o’clock—for a stunning contrast. But, if lime or citrus green brings more joy to one, then the Pioneer Centre Seconds Concept Citrus Green by H. Moser & Cie. featuring the fumé dial with warm lime tones is perfect. Another statement piece is Oris’ ProPilot X Kermit Edition with a frog-green dial, featuring Disney’s Kermit the Frog at six o’clock. Lastly, if one wants the watch to add a sparkle to one’s wrist then the mint green Longines Mini DolceVita with a diamond-studded case or the emerald green Gerald Charles Maestro 2.0 Ultra-Thin Gem-Set with matching gemstones on the bezel are perfect.

Blue

Watches in blue, the colour of serenity and wisdom, have always been popular with shades such as aquamarine, turquoise, and cobalt blue finding favour among watch enthusiasts. Take for instance, the Monsieur Bovet Turquoise by Bovet flaunting the intricate guilloche motif on its two turquoise-blue dials. Its rubber strap also features the hue in the form of ornate thread work.  Some of the other examples with beautiful turquoise dials are the Titoni Airmaster and the Norqain Adventure Sport Chrono 44mm Limited Edition. On the other hand, the Breitling Superocean Automatic 44 has an aquamarine dial for the ones who prefer a gleaming shade of blue resembling seawater. And, for cobalt blue lovers, the Carl F. Bucherer Patravi ScubaTec or the Omega Seamaster 300 are fine options.

Purple

A shade synonymous with royalty and luxury that may not be everyone’s cup of tea, a purple watch makes for a stunning companion at any occasion and is wonderful for a quick serotonin boost. For someone who prefers a minimalistic design with a stylish spin, the H. Moser & Cie.’s Streamliner Centre Seconds Purple Haze with a purple haze fumé dial is ideal. For a sport enthusiast, on the other hand, the Oris Aquis Hölstein Edition 2023 featuring the brand’s first-ever purple dial and a one-off purple caseback with a diving Oris Bear imagery is a perfect mate. Lastly, the all-purple Chronoswiss Open Gear ReSec Endorphin featuring one of the most complicated hand-guilloche dials by the brand is best for someone with an inclination for avant-garde pieces.

Red

Red is the colour of love, life, health, and vigour, and for those seeking an all-red watch, one may want to consider Bovet’s Monsieur Bovet with a red guilloche dial and matching leather strap. Another dainty option in red is the Omega Constellation featuring a dial in natural red aventurine stone, attached to a glossy leather strap in the same matching colour. In contrast, if one is into sporty chronograph timepieces then Breitling, Hublot, and Jacob & Co offer excellent options. Take for example this Breitling Top Time B01 Chevrolet Corvette that exhibits colours and the emblem of its car counterpart with a red dial being predominant. It also features the ‘squircle’ (not completely square or round) sub-dials resembling vintage dashboard gauges, a perforated leather racing strap, and a tachymeter scale. Lastly, for those who believe more is more, the Hublot Big Bang Unico Red Magic or the Jacob & Co Epic X Chrono Black Titanium are the best when it comes to watches in this fiery red shade.

Yellow

Watches in yellow, the colour of energy and joy, are carving out a niche for themselves with numerous contemporary designs. Take for instance the Tutima Glashütte M2 Seven Seas with a yellow dial, surrounded by a solid pearl-blasted titanium case. In this timepiece, the yellow dial lends the otherwise sturdy model a fun appeal. Another example is the sustainable Maurice Lacroix Aikon #tide 40mm watch, featuring a yellow case made from 100 percent #tide ocean-bound upcycled plastic. Here, the dial, the Maurice Lacroix ‘m’ logo on the rubber strap, and the pin buckle—are all in the matching bright hue. Lastly, the TAG Heuer Formula 1 Chronograph and the Doxa SUB 600T Divingstar are the blindingly bright tone-on-tone timepieces—ideal for radiating a bit of ‘sunshine’ on a gloomy day.
