Summertime Blues
Timex Modern Originals Camper
A silicon band and bold color scheme contemporize Timex’s 1918 design. The simple timepiece is water- resistant to 164 feet, so it won’t have to leave your wrist at the beach. [$55; henribendel.com]
Bell & Ross BR03-92 Blue
Designed for pilots and modeled after aviation instruments, this timepiece has dials with a photoluminescent coating that makes them pop for clear reading in dim light. [$4,100; bellross.com]
Brera Eterno Chrono Tonal
Sure, it’s got a 45mm case that’s 14mm thick, but an all-blue color scheme actually lends this oversize watch some subtlety. Make sure the rest of your outfit doesn’t compete. [$650; barneys.com]

Omega Hour Vision Blue
