NAVYBLUE TIME’S COOLEST COLOR IS ITS HOTTEST TREND
rom deep ocean shades of navy and ultramarine to eye-catching royal, electric, or cyan, blue watches are everywhere this year, and for good reason. While classic white- and black-dial timepieces will never be out of style, blue- face offerings give just a little extra edge of je ne sais quoi , while still maintaining sophistication and discretion.

Breguet Marine chronograph. Self-winding movement with date and seconds subdial. Minutes and hours counters. Balance spring in silicon. Sapphire caseback. Screw-locked crown. Water-resistant to 10 bar (100m). Diameter: 42.3 mm.
Breitling 22 Chronomat B01, 42 mm with a blue dial and black contrasting chronograph counters, in stainless-steel.
Whether you’re dressed to the nines for an evening on the town or keeping it cool and casual on a weekend excursion, a round of golf, or an afternoon of shopping and sightseeing, that subtle hint of color adds a touch of elegance to the former or a splash of sportiness to the latter. It’s like fashion magic! As the most subdued of the primary colors, blue is somehow bold, yet reserved; serious and fun; prestigious, but non-assuming all at once. It matches almost any type of band, bracelet, or strap — platinum, gold, black leather, brown leather, silicone, or steel. Blue’s ability to successfully compliment some styles and tastefully contrast others makes it both adaptive and transformative for any wardrobe and the height of horological couture.
