Looking for a little inspiration from the TZ-UK crowd
I'm considering another white dial watch and wondering what's out there that I may not have come across yet.
My preference is simple 3 hander, 'Pilot' style and preferably on bracelet, 40mm ish
what have you got or suggest? pics welcomed
thanks
Ian
These are my two. Not really pilot style but you've probably not seen either in the wild, I doubt.
That’s nice Toby.Originally Posted by tobywatches
I have these two. The Seamaster is simply gorgeous and the dial detail is superb. Had the Seiko for quite a few years now.

Seiko is 38mm I think and Sinn is 41. The Sinn is also available in a three hander non UTC and on bracelet.

An engagement gift from my wife in 1998. I wore it every day for 18 years until I pitched up here asking questions about an old Omega …

I think that is the best looking version of the Overseas - the markers, hands, dial colour and texture all look good.. Much prefer it to the current model..This one which remains my favourite watch. Also have a white dialled Mondaine but no picture handy!
my only white dial watch, a silvery white really and not a pilot watch;
Back on UTC!
Love that

I have two.
Boschett Harpoon and Damasko DK15.
Off-white, but by some margin my most-worn watch:
White dial watches are hard to pull-off - legibility in all light conditions needs properly contrasting hands and indices, especially if you're a blind old nodder like me...
Seiko White Knight

I'd hate to be with you when you're on your own.
Definitely not a pilot’s watch, but a Grand Seiko Snowflake definitely covers the white dial in spectacular style.
Only these whites within my collection.
Cheap Heimdallr skx clone and the Damasko DC57.
For years I've been looking for the "perfect" white (silver) dial watch. I love white dials, although I don't have many. Here are the ones currently with me. At the minute, the DJ for me is a really good option.

The 6458 is 38mm and the Genequa is 39mm. The Knot is 36mm but wears much larger as it's all dial
This one with me now.
Some food for thought here, thanks all.
No dive style bezel is where I'm currently thinking but don't want to eliminate as will obviously limit my choices.
These are the two I've been looking at and trying to justify over the last couple of months
Panerai 1087 and IWC xx
I've the seamaster as posted several times and a zenith chronomaster sport. Both are fantastic..... one merry be more fantastic than the other
I've enjoyed your replies to this thread and your watches/pics over the last few weeks, thanks allSome food for thought here, thanks all.

plenty of temptation and inspiration but not enough to sway me from my initial choices (current funds considered!)
after some negotiation with retailers of both, I've taken a punt and the white IWC Mark XX will be with me early next week
cheers all
Just two for me -
And two for the other half -
(excuse the cushion)
Explorer appears a few times in this thread it's clearly a favourite, looks good on the Orange (not pink) rubberJust two for me -
unfortunately wears too big for my liking, my Dad has one & I've tried it, just doesn't suit my wrist, it wears better on my forearmplus I'd have to take a scalpel to the cyclops
I reckon I'm more suited to Mrs K's Tank

The IWC arrived last month and I was pleased with my decision to buy, unfortunately after a day I noticed a small issue and so it had to go back.
After inspection by IWC, a replacement was sent which I have picked up today. Really happy with this.
Dial is white in some light and silvery in others

Not looking its brightest, but this is my Citizen AQ4060-50W. One of their +-5 spy HAQ pieces, perpetual calendar. 40mm width. It's off the bracelet right now, but the bracelet is a pretty nice oyster-style three-link type. 20231103_161826.jpg

Linde Werdelin white dial spidolite. 44mm but wears smaller as no lugs. The dial is 40mm.

Ahhh that´s lovely Uncle Alec.
Hoping to see an example of the OP 39 White dial, anyone?
It's hard to beat the Snowflake posted below.
There's also this Seiko SPB213, conveniently available on SC right now...
I was just about to post that, one passed through my hands fairly recently. It didn’t stay though as I am currently wearing my SPB143 and also have a blue dial SPB297 for the summer months.It's hard to beat the Snowflake posted below.

OP: hard to find but if you like the IWC, Sinn has done a few white 556 versions which IMO are all gorgeous!
Only one, I think..............
Sewills Carmania (the design base - the Ulysse Nardin Marine Chronometer)
probably as dressy a watch as I can carry off.

Smiths PRS 25 Everest on leather , other than white dial, fails on every other criteria. So wont sully the thread with a photo :)

I really do think the white sea master is my favourite variant of them all over the years. Looks such a great watch especially in the sun.

I always think that a white dial with black hands are the most legible of dials.
Cheers,
Neil.
I currently have 3 white dials in my watchbox.
A Sinn U2-W, A Sinn 104 st sa W and a hodgepodge self assembled Seamaster/Sinn homage, AliExpress case and dial, raffles handset and 6460 with a badly cut stem 🫤
I forgot these two:
Birth year watch-
and definitely not a pilot, as planes weren't invented then-
Custom NH34 build
Agree on the Sinn 104…
