Sometimes I find myself attracted to a watch based on one attribute of its appearance, and right now I'm a bit fixated on watches with "baby" or powder blue dials. There have been quite a few "blue dial" threads, but I wanted to start a thread limited to favorite watches you own or wish you owned in baby or powder blue. Here are a few examples I like. They include the highly popular (on this forum) Halios Seaforth; a Zodiac Super Sea Wolf; and microbrand Mercer Durham. None of these is especially expensive. I'd like to see other suggestions before I pull the trigger on anything. Please include approximate price-point if you know it.
I think this one would be classed as baby or powder blue, the Squale Onda Azzurro. I let go of it recently as it never really clicked with me, however since its departure I have seen photos of it on a shark mesh strap and damn do I wish I had tried it on one before I sold it. :think:
Great thread, the Halios in blue is beautiful. Cocktail time is a very good selection as well. Looking to see if some other interesting suggestions pop up
But for funzies here is one from the top end of the scale

I knew I had seen some other dive watch in baby blue, and I figured out that I was thinking of the Helson Shark Diver in Mother or Pearl. Turns out that Helson made a number of powder blue variations. Some of them incorporate powder blue as prominent indices. Here's four I found online:
Sometimes I simply succumb to the look of a watch, and I found a used watch that will fulfill my recent powder blue obsession without breaking the bank ... because it is used and a quartz model. But still quite sharp. I may yet purchase a Halios Seaforth pastel, a Zodiac Super Sea Wolf 53, a Raven Endeavor or an NTH Devilray Turquoise, but this Zodiac Sea Dragon will do the trick for now. I plan to put it on a Hirsch navy blue carbon embossed strap and maybe use the rubber strap in the summer only. What do you think of it, and any alternative strap suggestions? (Not my picture)
