I do not really have a favorite color.

But let me share with you a very rare blue "cote de genève" dial on a Yema Superman from the 70's. This dial was dedicated to the german market and has been produced in little number. It is my favorite :



The "blue" Yema Superman has been declined in various dials :





and also in a rare grey versions that I do not have.

Nice looking Yema watches! France produced some of the most interesting diver watches during the golden age of mechanical diver watches.

Absolutely. A that time, the Yema superman was considered a real competitor to the Rolex 5513 submariner as shows the enclosed article (sorry, it's in French...), of the "Oceans' magazine" relating a test with 36 differents diving watches. It had been considered as offering one of the best lisibility when diving and one of the five best quality/price ratio. Good reading !

Hi Rob,

Do you have such an example of watch featuring a grey dial?

I love blue dial and everything that has orange accents.

I can tell a exemple: Mido Ocean Star titanium

[Rob P]

Not yet...but if you build one, I might ;-)

I absolutely love the shade of blue on the Artego divers, especially accented with orange:

I still prefer the black/white dial and the pepsi bezel

Helson makes a beautiful grey dial diver.

The graphite Gerlach Otago is really nice looking too (but it's very dark grey).

 

[Victor Gospodinov]

Here's the Helson Shark in grey:


Here's the Otago, the center one is graphite, the front one I believe is carbon fiber.

I know this thread is about the dial, but I'm also a big fan of bead-blasted finishes, such as is an option on the Obris Morgan Pradata:



...the matte finish is so sweet!
