Why do people go crazy for blue dial watches?

Among all the trends threading through the luxury watch landscape today, there is one that is emerging as the most popular: stainless steel watches with blue dials. Even watch manufactures that have historically stayed away from this style are breaking from brand tradition and following suit.

As day-to-day wardrobes get more casual and offices continue to embrace relaxed dress codes, it’s only natural that watch designs shadow the same sentiment by swapping out precious metals for hardier ones and opting for cooler colours.

The vibe may be easy-going but the design, quality, and features of these stainless steel luxury watches with blue dials are unmistakably top-tier.

So why is there such a trend for blue dial watches? Is blue simply a favourite colour to most Watch Lovers? Is it because the colour goes well with their outfits? Is the colour associated with famous luxury watches? Who knows.

To further your cravings for that blue dial, we’ve created a list below to enjoy our pick of the BEST Blue Dial Luxury Watches.
