Watch review:

We’ve discussed this before, and when it comes to selecting the most noteworthy new series this year, the Omega 75th Anniversary Summer Blue stands out. This collection introduces a distinctive summer blue hue on the dial, with shades varying based on the different waterproof depths of each watch. For instance, in watches with shallow waterproof depth like the AT150, the dial takes on a more icy blue tone, reminiscent of the sea surface during snorkeling. On the other hand, deep-diving models like the Seamaster Ultra Deep 6000 meters boast a pure dark blue dial. Omega skillfully employs this variation to illustrate the profound darkness of the sea’s extreme depths, where sunlight struggles to penetrate.

The Summer Blue edition of the Seamaster 300m, featured in the image, has garnered considerable attention. Omega breathes new life into the timeless Seamaster 300 Meter style, infusing it with vibrancy through the gradient ice blue dial. As a professional diving watch boasting a water-resistant capability of 300 meters, it skillfully incorporates both ice blue and deep-sea blue tones on the wave-textured ceramic disc. The clever gradient color transition on the main ice blue hue, ranging from a light radiant center to a darker blue outer edge, is particularly striking. Turning our attention to the blue ceramic bezel, the Summer Blue enamel diving scale is crafted with Grand Feu enamel.

Underneath the captivating exterior lies the Omega Master Chronometer Caliber 8800, ensuring impeccable performance certified by the Master Chronometer standard. Notably, the watch undergoes a change as it dispenses with a transparent back in favor of a solid one, adorned with an engraving of Poseidon holding the trident—the graphic logo accompanied by two seahorse mounts. The timepiece offers versatility with two strap options: a stainless steel bracelet or a rubber strap.

Waterproof depth: 100 meters

Watch review:

Breitling has undergone significant transformations this year, actively revamping iconic series such as Top Time and Avengers with new “engines” and introducing a new B01 in-house movement version. Among the array of new releases, the Top Time Triumph watch stands out as a favorite for many watch enthusiasts when seeking the most expressive style. Breitling’s collaboration with Triumph Motorcycles has consistently featured the standout element of the ice blue dial.

Distinguishing itself from the mechanical chronograph series, TOP TIME exudes a more pronounced retro style. This uniqueness is particularly evident as many common ice blue dial designs tend to lean towards modern aesthetics. A closer look at the dial reveals Breitling’s incorporation of zone drawing technology, creating an ice blue color scheme. The functional layout, highlighted by double sub-dials in contrasting black, draws inspiration from the Triumph Thunderbird 6T motorcycle since 1951. The 6 o’clock position proudly displays the Triumph Motorcycle brand logo.

The watch’s dimensions are well-balanced for everyday wear, measuring 41 mm in diameter and 13.3 mm in thickness. With the introduction of the B01 movement, the new design features a transparent case back. However, it’s worth noting that achieving the level of polishing seen in mechanical timepieces, particularly for TOP TIME and Avenger’s B01, would enhance their appeal among watch enthusiasts. Despite this, there’s no need for concern about the B01’s performance—it holds Swiss Observatory COSC certification, boasts a 70-hour power reserve, and maintains water resistance up to 100 meters.

Breitling offers versatility with two styles of straps: stainless steel Milanese bracelets and black leather straps. However, given the watch’s retro aesthetic, a leather strap is recommended for those seeking an authentic vintage feel.

Tissot Classic Series T137.407.11.351.00

Product model: T137.407.11.351.00
Watch diameter: 40 mm
Movement type: automatic machine
Movement model: Powermatic 80
Case material: 316L stainless steel
Waterproof depth: 100 meters

Watch review:

The Tissot PRX Powermatic 80 ice blue watch has been previously introduced in detail, and my opinion remains unchanged—I highly recommend the ice blue dial model for two compelling reasons. Firstly, its price of 5,500 yuan makes it an apt choice for entry-level enthusiasts. Secondly, its aesthetic appeal is truly commendable. Upon closer examination, it’s evident that Tissot has invested considerable effort and thought into presenting the ice blue tones, enhancing and diversifying its product line.

The PRX’s ice blue dial comes in 35mm quartz models, as well as 40mm and 35mm mechanical models, each showcasing distinct characteristics. The quartz models feature prominent sun patterns. As for the 40mm mechanical ice blue dial depicted in the picture, Tissot continues the waffle pattern design from the mechanical line, complemented by the ice blue color. This combination accentuates the cool elegance of the dial, creating a refreshing texture.

In terms of performance, Tissot equips the mechanical three-hand models with the Powermatic 80 automatic winding movement, boasting an impressive 80-hour power reserve, 23 diamonds, and water resistance up to 100 meters. The inclusion of a Nivachron anti-magnetic hairspring further ensures resilience against magnetic field interference. Whether considering its appearance or practicality, this ice blue timepiece is a commendable choice for an entry-level watch—comfortable for daily wear with an outstanding aesthetic appeal.
