Why You Need a Summer Watch

Summary

The Summer Watch does everything the collection’s mainstays can’t. This specialist is the one that fills all the holes on a vacation.

My Summer Watch is the Seiko 5 Sports x Rowing Blazers with an orange dial. This piece fills every need I have for a Summer Watch. The orange of the dial isn’t radioactive like other classic dive watches. The red-and-white striped seconds hand reminds me of lifeguards this time of year.

"It's the most perfect travel watch in the world. First of all, it's a GMT, which I desperately needed as those three countries are in different time zones. Second of all it's super water resistant, which is great as I've never met a body of water I didn't jump into"

"I mean, is there any better ‘summer’ watch than a ‘tropical’ dial? It’s in the name! The dial’'s aged due to sun exposure to the lacquer causing the change in color. And summer is for exploring—this is an Explorer"

Danny Milton, @glassofmilt, vice president of content at Teddy BaldassarreOmega Seamaster Diver 300M. The soft pink dial also looks killer in the summer sun.
