Blue watch dials are overwhelmingly the most popular color for 2020. But not all blues are created equally. Perhaps no timepiece hue is more varied than blue, which comes in countless shades and styles. The right blue on you can help enhance your experience and style in just the right way. Across the day, blue colors go from being bright to vivid to dark. You can match the mood with your timepiece. Let’s look at a selection of the new for Watches & Wonders 2020 watches available now via the watch department at premier men’s luxury e-tailer MR PORTER.
Watches & Wonders 2020 sees the release of at least 20 new watches with blue as the major accent color. From sporty to swarthy, new blue watches are available with morning moods to midnight vibes. Let’s start with two morning watches in blue that will energize at the top of the day. First is the Montblanc Star Legacy Orbis Terrarum Automatic. It is a full 24-time zone travel watch with a blue and white view of the globe. The timepiece seems best suited to chilly early morning flights and the call of all-day adventure. The watch is 43mm-wide in steel and comes with a matching blue alligator strap. Price at MR PORTER is $6,700 USD.

Finally, Ulysse Nardin offers a crisp blue dial with blue rubber strap, 42mm-wide steel version of the Executive Dual Time Automatic.

Suit up in blue with it for mornings to the office. Price at MR PORTER is $8,300 USD.

The famed cushion-style case is 42mm-wide. Price at MR PORTER is $12,000 USD. Afternoon strolls need a timepiece without too much polish so as not to cast glare in your eyes when viewing it.

Price at MR PORTER is $13,300 USD.
After dark, deep blue hues envelop us. Colors that meld with blue rather than contrast with it look the best.

It’s like a small night sky for the chic tool on your wrist. Price at MR PORTER is $12,900 USD.
The modern industrial city can operate as brightly at night as it does during the day. When bright lights reflect they can result in a kaleidoscope of colors. This effect is mimicked by the unique multi-color dial of the HYT Soonow Instant Rainbow Limited Edition watch. The skull-themed dial is decorative yet wrapped in a form-fitting liquid capillary that is used to indicate the hours using a special proprietary mechanical movement system in a 48.8mm-wide steel case.
