Four years later, the trend has become a staple not only in every brand’s collection but in every watch aficionado’s too!

A perfect timepiece for work and play, deep blue watches work for every occasion and dress code. Whether you’re wearing a suit at a meeting or in shorts golfing, these deep blue watches are the perfect laid-back yet elegant accessory for the discerning gentleman.

Omega Seamaster Diver 300M

An elegant dive watch, the Omega Seamaster Professional Diver 300 series has been around since 1993. The latest collections continue to honour the iconic ocean heritage with sophisticated complications and cutting-edge designs.

Driven by the Omega Master Chronometer Calibre 8800 movement, this 42mm Omega Seamaster watch in a stainless steel case features a deep blue ceramic bezel and a dial engraved with a wave motif. The date function is displayed at 6 o’clock. The lugs, skeleton hands, and indexes are in 18K yellow gold, while the bezel features yellow gold accents. A matching deep blue rubber strap completes the look.

Water-resistant to 300 metres and chronometer-rated, this deep blue dive watch seamlessly blends sporty panache and functionality.

Rolex Submariner with Diamonds

When the Rolex Submariner 116659SABR was introduced in Baselworld in 2018, the watch industry was enthralled. After all, it was the very first Submariner that featured diamonds.

With the same sophistication and performance the Submariner is famous for, the Rolex Submariner 116659SABR is driven by the self-winding 3135 Calibre. Perhaps the most elegant among these deep blue watches, this watch has a date functionality displayed at 3 o’clock, a power reserve of 48 hours, and a water resistance of 300 metres.

The 40mm case and crown are studded with 92 brilliant-cut diamonds, while the unidirectional rotating bezel is set with 27 dark blue baguette-cut sapphires and 11 baguette-cut diamonds. A deep blue dial with a sunray effect complements the stunning diamonds.

Patek Philippe Complications Calendar

A polished dress watch, the Patek Philippe Complications Calendar is perfect for the refined businessman.

With an automatic Calibre 31-260 movement at its heart, this deep blue watch features two sub-dials, with 12 hour and 30-minute displays. The date and month apertures are visible at 10 and 2 o’clock. In addition, it has a 48-hour power reserve and a water resistance of 30 metres.

The 18K white gold, 40.5mm case houses a silver dial complemented by blue-toned hands and indexes. A deep blue alligator strap completes this annual calendar watch.

Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Offshore

Blue on blue, the Audemars Piguet’s take on the deep blue watches trend is unapologetically animated.

Powered by a self-winding in-house calibre movement, the Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Offshore in blue dial boasts a chronograph and small-seconds complications. It features a 50-hour power reserve and a 100m water resistance. While three sub-dials display the 30 seconds, 30 minutes, and 12-hour functions.

This 42mm deep blue watch features a dial with a ‘Méga Tapisserie’ pattern. Meanwhile, the Arabic numerals and white gold Royal Oak hands stand out with the luminescent coating. Matching blue counters, a blue inner bezel, and a blue rubber strap are perfect complements to its sporty appeal.

Zenith Defy Classic

The new Defy Classic deep blue watch intrigues with its blacker open-worked dial. Another sporty deep blue watch that is big on innovation, this edgy watch packs a punch with its skeletonised Elite 670 SK, self-winding in-house movement.

A deep blue ceramic case and bezel, as well as a blue rubber strap, keep the complicated display of micro-mechanics on the dial look less serious. The white hours, minutes, seconds hands, and indexes make a nice contrast; while a date display is inconspicuous at 6 o’clock.

With a power reserve of 50 hours and water resistance of 100 metres, this avant-garde watch has a modern design with an old soul.

Franck Muller Vanguard Automatic Chronograph

At 44mm, the Franck Muller Vanguard Chronograph Deep Blue Watch is a yachter’s dream. The blue inner bezel features direction bearings for sailing proficiency and a blue dial with glowing hands that resemble a compass.

The self-winding FM0800 movement powers the watch. Central hands indicate the hours and minutes, and the date indication is visible at 6 o’clock.

With a stainless steel case, blue dial with white Arabic numerals, and deep blue nylon strap, this yachting chronograph watch is also huge on the style factor. Suit it up for work or dress it down for a weekend on the yacht.

Ballon Bleu de Cartier Automatic

Combining precision and elegance, the Ballon Bleu de Cartier WSBB0025 is as polished and functional as it looks.

This 42mm deep blue watch features a guilloché dial with silver Roman numerals, silver sword-shaped hands, and a date indicator at 3 o’clock. Complementing the dial is a matching deep blue alligator strap with a steel folding buckle for double adjustability. A mechanical Calibre 1847 MC movement with an automatic winding function drives the watch.

This elegant blue watch features a fluted crown which comes with a synthetic spinel shaped like cabochon — a signature of the Ballon Bleu de Cartier. Probably the bluest among these deep blue watches, this Ballon Bleu de Cartier is water-resistant up to 30 metres.

Panerai Luminor GMT

Reinterpreting the historic Luminor 1950 case, the Panerai Luminor’s style is distinctive and iconic.

The new Panerai Luminor GMT in 44mm steel case boasts 3 days GMT Automatic calibre, which allows the wearer to read simultaneously the local and home time. Moving a complete 12-hour revolution, the central GMT hand rotates at the same rate as the local time hour hand.

The blue sun-brushed dial features luminous Arabic numerals and hour markers. The date window is at 3 o’clock, while the small seconds aperture is at 9 o’clock. Admire the P.9011 Calibre through a clear sapphire case back. The deep blue watch features a 300m water resistance.
