Welcome back to SwissWatchExpo this is Angel and this week we're taking a look at my three picks
for blue mother of pearl dial watches now the reason I chose this I feel as though we see a
lot of watches out there that have that mother of pearl dial but there are a few brands that do a
really really great job of showing off that blue mother of pearl mother of pearl is a very very
strong stone that's created with oysters that basically create what's called an acre and a
naker is created when there's an irritant that's put inside of the oyster whether it's a nucleus
that's put in by man or just a natural thing like a piece of stone or some type of irritant down in
the ocean and it begins to create this coating over that irritant so it's almost like if your
eye is watering because you have something in it it's a protection that the oyster creates so
that it can really help itself to stay sealed and closed off now us as humans we really get to enjoy
the benefit bits of what that looks like a lot of mother of pearl is not iridescent so it's pretty
rare to find something that has that shimmer and the iridescence to it that we have come to love so
much in the mother of pearl dials so today we're taking a look at three different models one from
our Cartier collection, our Omega collection, and Breitling so I think that one of the most iconic
Bbands to do the mother of pearl in the blue is actually the Breitling I think Breitling does
such a beautiful job with choosing the correct slice of Mother of Pearl from the oyster to give
you such a vibrant Hue on that mother of pearl now this is from the Navitimer Collection it's going
to be about 43 millimeters across and I know a lot of times with this specific collection
with the Breitlings in general clients want to know what the depth of the watch is and so this
will give you 14 and a half millimeters from top to bottom now not only is this special because
of that vibrant blue mother of pearl it's also a special edition watch so really created in a way
to showcase that iconic Navitimer design that's been around for over 70 years I love the little
touch of red that they've done with the red sweep hand to take care of that tachymeter that's on
the bezel here and I'm always a huge fan of the tachymeter being inside of the crystal I think
it's such an elegant look in combination with that almost coin edge bezel and that beautiful
signature Breitling link design so great option for someone who likes a very masculine watch
for size but wants a little elegance as well by adding that blue mother of pearl
next up we'll take a look at your classic Tank Francaise so tanks come in so many different
options but I love this one because they've done a very elegant job on the dial of this one
they put the white Roman numerals still somehow they figured out how to put that secret Cartier
signature on the Roman numeral but it is a quartz movement so it makes it very easy to use for a
lady that may want to get into something that's a little bit different than your classic tank with
that silvered dial that you normally see in black Roman numerals I love the combination of this with
that signature satin and high polished link design it really lends itself to showcasing that blue
mother of pearl and then they didn't switch over to the black hands they actually kept them with
the blue steel hand so a really great example coming in at 20 millimeters across and then 24
millimeters top to bottom I don't know why but I really been loving the more petite and smaller
watches recently I think we're getting back into some of those more classic sizes for some of the
ladies as well as some of the gentlemen watches so great option for a blue mother of pearl
and then last but certainly not least is going to be our Omega Constellation now Omega
they are iconic in the watchmaking industry the constellation is one of those designs that you see
from a distance and if you know your watches you know exactly what it is I have really grown fond
of the styling of the satin and the high polish on that link they updated that if you own an
Omega Constellation from sometime in the past you'll remember that those links had that
borrowed it's almost split down the middle but they've continued it all the way across on this
model that blue mother of pearl they've actually engraved it with a an etched wave design which
really adds to that ocean feel of the watch the diamonds of course are Factory diamonds from Omega
and they use what's called the top wesselton level Diamond so meaning that the diamonds will be VVS
quality or higher on a watch like this this which is such a beautiful accent to that satin finish
on the watch and then those signature almost like a crown guard that shows up on both sides of the
dial here on the bezel so a really great option for a lady that wants something that almost looks
like a piece of jewelry but happens to tell time so three great models let us know down in
the comments what your favorite blue mother of pearl or any mother of pearl dial watches that
you'd love to have as a part of your collection as always we would love to show you these watches
over a FaceTime interview if you are are viewing I should say not interview but FaceTime video so
that you can take a look and see how beautiful these watches are up close and personal this is
