As the fairy lights and decorated trees come down at the end of the festive season, January can often feel grey and dull. One way to combat this is to bring some colour and brightness into your wardrobe – and your watch doesn’t have to be an exception.
Whilst many timepieces predominantly use black and white, or the natural colours of the metals of their construction, there are plenty of options for those who prefer a little colour on their wrist, and today we’re going to take a look at five of the most attractive and vibrant.
Green: The Bremont ALT1-C Watch
For a subtle and elegant touch of colour, this stylish classic watch in Racing Green is an excellent choice. The model shown here boasts a matching green calf leather strap, but this chronograph is also available with a stainless steel bracelet, as well as in less colourful variations. As with all Bremont watches, this timepiece speaks eloquently of British craftsmanship and sophistication, and with a chronometer rated movement it is just as beautifully engineered on the inside. This piece retails at £4,395 and is available on 0% finance from just £97.67 per month.
Purple: The Omega Ladymatic Watch
This stunning timepiece in dramatic purple is perfect for any lady who wants to make a statement. The striking purple dial with its supernova pattern and matching satin-brushed leather bracelet are complemented by the diamond-set indices and the diamond-paved bezel for a dash of glitter and glamour. This is more than just an aesthetic choice, however, as inside it is powered by the Omega Co-Axial Calibre 8520 movement to give you exquisite timekeeping as well. This timepiece retails for £10,550 and is available on 0% finance from just £234.44 per month.
Blue: The TAG Heuer Monaco Calibre 12 Watch
As far as iconic watches go, the TAG Heuer Monaco must be one of the most easily recognisable, after it was launched to fame when worn by Steve McQueen in the 1971 film Le Mans. The original 1969 timepiece was the first square-cased chronograph, and this combined with the blue colour of the face makes it a very striking timepiece. This model is powered by TAG’s calibre 12 automatic movement at 28,800 vibrations per hour. The blue of the face is complemented by the deeper blue of the alligator leather strap, giving it a cohesive aesthetic appearance. This watch is available for £4,050 and available on 0% finance from £90 per month.
Pink: The Cartier Tank Francaise 25mm Watch
This timepiece offers a lovely subtle shade of pink in its mother-of-pearl face, which is perfectly complemented by the steel and 18 carat rose gold construction of the case and bracelet. The very delicate colouring of this piece makes it an ideal complement to any outfit, day or night, whilst the typical Cartier design ensures that it will always make a statement. Powered by a quartz movement, this watch is available for £4,900 or from just £108.89 per month on our 0% finance option.
Yellow: The Breitling Avenger II Seawolf Watch
With a bright Cobra Yellow dial and contrasting black rubber strap, this timepiece is sure to attract attention to your wrist. Ideal for divers and water sports enthusiasts with water resistance to 3,000m, this timepiece features a self-winding chronometer-certified movement with a minimum power reserve of 40 hours, in a steel case with unidirectional bezel. Retailing at £2,970, this piece can be yours on our 0% finance option from just £66 per month.
