Go on vacation with a touch of blue on your watch!

In mid-June, the family took a trip to Greece. In addition to the Acropolis in Athens and the Sky Monastery in Meteora in the north, the top priority was naturally an island vacation. We chose Mykonos and Santorini. The island, the clear blue Aegean waters under the scorching sun, and the blue church domes against the white walls, everything looks so charming and refreshing. Breathing the sea breeze and looking at the rolling waves, I could really be in a daze for an hour.

Blue can be said to be the color that best matches summer, and is filled with a casual and sporty feel. I found that some watch brand stores have also been opened on these two islands. It is a good thing to buy a favorite watch in the strong holiday atmosphere. Recommend several new blue watches for appreciation and relief from the hot summer.

TUDOR Biwan ceramic blue watch

This watch with a blue dial is very telling. In early 2024, Tudor announced its return to F1 racing and established a special partnership with the new Visa Cash App RB F1 team (actually the former Alpha Tauri Toro Rosso team). Launched, blue is the color of the team's livery.

Let’s take a look at the parameters of this watch: the matte black ceramic case has a diameter of 41 mm, is equipped with the highly recognizable “snowflake” hands of the brand’s diving watches, is equipped with a self-winding self-winding movement, uses a silicon hairspring, and has a power reserve of 70 hours, waterproof depth 200 meters. Obtained the Swiss Official Observatory Certification (COSC) and the Master Chronometer Certification of the Swiss Federal Institute of Metrology (METAS, Omega’s certification with antimagnetic performance up to 15,000 Gauss). There are two straps, one is a leather and rubber composite strap with blue stitching, and the other is a black textured strap with a central blue stripe.

Panerai Luminor series 44mm 10-day power reserve dual time automatic watch

In the crowded commercial street of Santorini, I found traces of the Panerai store. When thinking of Panerai, people think of the ocean, diving, sailing, and adventure. Its image really fits this kind of holiday island. A while ago, the brand released the Luminor series 44mm automatic winding watch with 10-day power reserve and dual time. The blue color and the functions of "two places time" and "10-day power reserve" give it the feeling of a summer vacation. Full to the brim.

The case is 44 mm in diameter and made of stainless steel. It has the main features of the Luminor series: pillow-shaped case, sandwich dial, luminous coating, and crown bridge protection device. The self-made movement equipped with it also has several important points. The small second hand will automatically return to zero after pulling out the crown, which allows those with "obsessive-compulsive disorder" to accurately set the time to the second; it is also equipped with the brand's unique and intuitive linear power reserve. The display is presented in a horizontal movement on the lower half of the dial. You must know that in recent years, there have been fewer and fewer dynamic storage display works. Currently, there are no models with this function on the brand’s official website, which also makes this watch more Make people want to have it.

Hublot

Hublot is also a watch brand that likes to open stores on holiday islands. This time, we saw brand stores in Santorini and Mykonos. I remember that when I went to Capri Island in Italy many years ago, I also saw Hublot. In addition, Hublot has previously opened stores in Saint-Tropez, France, and Ibiza, Spain.

Let’s take a look at what blue watches Hublot has launched this year alone?

These deep and light blues seem to transition from the sky to the sea, which makes people feel comfortable just looking at them. The functions range from simple three-hand, chronograph to tourbillon, the materials range from ceramics, carbon fiber to sapphire crystal glass, and the shapes include round, rectangular and barrel shapes. You should be able to pick the one you like!

Of course, there are more than just blue watches. I have listed them below for everyone to enjoy and choose from.

This is an IWC watch that can bring you peace of mind

Hello everyone, as the price of IWC watches continues to drop, there are a dazzling array of IWC watch styles on the market today. Among the many IWC watches, if you want to say that the one that looks the most refreshing, it should be tens of thousands of dollars. This new Portuguese Horizon Blue IWC watch.

Compared with the old model, IWC's new Portuguese series has the most distinctive feature that it seems to have remained unchanged, but all the details have changed. As the saying goes, one of the most difficult things in the world is to surpass the classics. Just like the brand-new Portugal, if it changes drastically, people will not recognize it. If it remains unchanged, people will feel that the designers are not doing their job, so this time IWC has changed the appearance of the new Portugal. You can only choose the limit of play, and the most critical step is that the new Portugal has further narrowed and lowered the already not rich bezel, leaving more space for the dome mirror, allowing you to From the front, it looks like a crystal cover is buckled directly to the watch case. If the bezel were narrower, the watch mirror would have to be glued on. Although this did not reduce the overall thickness of the watch, the larger and taller mirror not only made the dial more transparent, but also made the case more transparent. Some parts are made thinner, thereby visually weakening the thickness of the watch.

In addition to the case, the biggest surprise of the new Portuguese IWC watch is naturally its new color dial. IWC has launched four attractive colors for the new Portuguese IWC watch, namely horizon blue, dune gold, obsidian black and silver. Moon white, and among these four colors, the most popular is undoubtedly the extremely refreshing horizon blue. Many friends say that horizon blue is very similar to ice blue, so it looks very noble. I don’t think so. My first impression when I saw the real thing was that it is ice blue and quiet, which makes me look at it for a long time without realizing it. The more I look at it, the calmer I feel, especially when this blue color is paired with a more complicated IWC watch. It will make you feel particularly refreshed, and you will no longer think that the dial is cluttered because of too many elements. In short, it is quite healing. If you don’t believe it, you can go to the store to try it in person. It is guaranteed to make you more comfortable as you look at it.

In addition to the front, the back of the new Portuguese IWC watch is also very extreme. The frame of the bottom cover has been so narrow that it can’t be narrower. This really made me understand what kind of material the real movement is made of. The power of this watch still comes from the same 52616 movement as the Dafei IWC watch. This movement is added to the IWC watch module from the famous 52 series 7-day automatic movement of IWC. "Leton" winding mechanism, while the black ceramic winding pawl and winding gear ensure that the winding process operates efficiently and almost never wears out.

In addition, the IWC watch module used in this movement is also an IWC classic. This module was developed by Mr. Claus, the legendary watchmaker of IWC, in the 1980s. It can be said to be the easiest to adjust IWC watch currently on the market. For the watch module, you only need to pull out the first gear of the crown, and while turning the crown, all calendars, days of the week, and months will move forward one day, avoiding the tedious need to adjust the various displays of other IWC watches individually. And in order to avoid misoperation, the rotation direction of the crown is specially set to counterclockwise. When you turn the crown counterclockwise, the clicking damping feeling will make you involuntarily twist it a few more times. And compared with the 52616 movement used on the Dafei, this new 52616 movement has also been partially upgraded. The biggest change is the use of an escape wheel made of nickel-phosphorus alloy to improve the anti-magnetic ability, and the balance plate is also It was extended to appear across the board.

The above are some of my opinions on this watch. If you have anything to say about these watches, please leave a message and tell us.
