Hi Guys,
Recently I've been hit by a strange fever... orange fever.
I don't know how it happened, but i was looking to buy a new daily beater something i can safely use during my rough work conditions and suddenly i just had to buy a watch with orange in it!
I just don't know why or how it got in my mind! Might have been my bright orange lighter sitting on my desk one day or something but i can't stop thinking about it and have been obesessing about it! Powerful poison...
Anyway i just want to compile a list of some good ones i've seen so far. Maybe you guys can share what other watches you guys know or own and we can all share our love for the colour orange
Basically any watch that has orange dial, bezel, numbers, pointers.
(I've tried to select all with bands made out of rubber if possible as thats what i'm looking for right now
)
First Orange:Omega Seamaster Planet Ocean Chrono:
Second Orange:Omega Seamaster Planet Ocean:
Third Orange:Seiko Orange Monster (New Models with upgraded movement)
Fourth Orange:Victorinox Swiss Army Summit XLT Chronograph
Fifth Orange:Victorinox Swiss Army Maverick II
Sixth Orange:Tag Heuer Forumla One F1 Chronograph
My humble view:
For me, the absolutely best i've see so far is hands down the Omega Planet Ocean Chronograph. I never really did like Omega all this while but after seeing that watch, they have perfected a watch with the colour orange. The shade of orange and where they place the colour is perfect. Unfortunately for now the Omega Planet Ocean is out of my daily beater price range, looks like i might have to come back and play with him another day. But just want to repeat, hands down if you want a watch with orange in it, simply Omega Planet Ocean no doubt about it. Although some might like the non chrono option for a more classic timeless option. But chrono one just does it for me... very very poisoned.. Wishlist.. updated...
Best value for money is no doubt the orange monster and i think i might go for that guy
I had my doubts about this Orange Monster from Seiko for a while but when i saw the new updated models i actually like the new dials alot. Was still doubtful about it but when i saw some wrist shots i think that kinda tipped the edge for me. Only thing is i do happen to do some recreational diving (just for fun, nothing serious) but i don't like how some of the independent watch sites i see don't suggest we wear this watch for diving. I just don't get that part. If the watch is a diving watch how come we can't use it for diving... kinda defeat the purpose of the design. Oh well...maybe head to the AD for seiko and do some testing...
The Tag F1 watch the bezel is abit too weird for me... the rest doesn't excite me as much as the others. Although i was hoping Luminox might have some nice orange scheme watch, as it seems to suit their brand style but very surprisingly they didn't have anything of particular note. Oh well.
If you like please feel free to share your orange love
