the new trend that is all the rage

Watches with gradient dials have become the new sensation in the world of watchmaking. These timepieces, featuring colors that transition from a pale shade in the center to a darker shade at the periphery, have quickly won the hearts of enthusiasts. Discover six iconic models that perfectly illustrate this captivating trend.

Oris Aquis Date: a fusion of mint green and gray

Oris expands the already diverse color palette of its Aquis model with a variation that goes from mint green to gray. This combination, combined with the light gray tungsten inserts on the bezel, creates a fresh and original look. Beating at the heart of the stainless steel case is the self-winding Sellita caliber SW200, featuring Oris' famous red rotor. Waterproof up to 300 meters, this watch is offered in a more compact version measuring 39.5 mm in diameter, priced at โ‚ฌ2,050.

Girard-Perregaux Laureato Absolute Chronograph: a captivating blue gradient

The dials of the new Laureato Absolute collection shimmer a vibrant blue in the center, gradually turning to a deep black at the periphery. This color gradient is particularly striking on the chronograph, which also features sub-dials with black hearts. The 44 mm PVD-treated titanium case houses the self-winding manufacture caliber GP03300-1058. Combined with a rubber strap decorated with blue decorative stitching, this new chronograph is priced at โ‚ฌ12,900.

H. Moser & Cie. Endeavor Tourbillon: a captivating cosmic green

Moser is a pioneer of color gradient dials, which the Schaffhausen manufacture describes as โ€œsmokyโ€. The latest addition is the Endeavor Tourbillon โ€œCosmic Greenโ€. The design of the dial is particularly effective thanks to the total absence of indexes and numbers. The 42mm white gold case houses the self-winding HMC 804 manufacture caliber, featuring a double hairspring and a generous 72-hour power reserve. Moser produced 50 examples of this model, each priced at โ‚ฌ69,000.

Glashรผtte Original Sixties: a flamboyant orange gradient

After a striking green dial last year, the Glashรผtte brand โ€“ or more precisely its dial manufacturer in Pforzheim, Germany โ€“ is now revealing the same technique in orange. Red and black lacquers, applied using a very special technique on the irregularly embossed dial, create this unique gradient effect. The 39 mm steel watch is powered by the manufacture caliber 39-52 with automatic winding. This version, which will only be produced in 2019, is priced at โ‚ฌ6,400.

TAG Heuer Autavia Isograph: a surprising technical innovation

A technical specialty beats behind the dial of this new model, available in gradient blue, green, brown, dark gray or light gray. The brand has replaced the conventional balance spring of the ETA 2824 self-winding caliber with its own โ€œIsographโ€ balance spring. This high-tech graphene carbon balance spring is more robust and guarantees better walking stability. The latter is confirmed by the official chronometer control authority COSC. The stainless steel Autavia Isograph, featuring a ceramic bezel and leather strap, measures 42mm in diameter and is priced at โ‚ฌ3,600.

Montblanc 1858 Geosphere: a journey across time zones

The color gradient of the new 1858 models is particularly visible on the 1858 Geosphere, which displays a second time zone on a sub-dial at 9 o'clock and also indicates Earth's full 24 time zones for the Northern and Southern hemispheres. The 42mm case is fitted with a ceramic compass bezel and an engraved titanium case back. It houses the self-winding Sellita SW300 caliber, equipped with the time zone module developed by Montblanc. Only 1,858 examples of this travel watch are available, each priced at โ‚ฌ6,300.

Watches with gradient dials bring a touch of originality and freshness to contemporary watchmaking. Whether you are drawn to the subtle shades of mint green, captivating blue, flamboyant orange or captivating cosmic green, these timepieces will seduce you with their bold aesthetic and unique character.
