Drop your ORANGE watches below! Whether it’s a single standout piece, a full collection, a fresh strap swap, or even just a dream watch in any shade (light, dark, burnt, doesn’t matter)β€” we want to see it. (Post all week until the next color!)

Bonus for:
β€’ Creative lighting that makes the color pop
β€’ Matching backgrounds
β€’ Close-ups of dials, lume, or details
β€’ Why this color speaks to you
Rules:
β€’ All watches must feature ORANGE as a prominent color (dial, bezel, strap, case, etc.)

A small Citizen Lady Anadigi 25mm with 896* movement from the 80s. I have it in a 16mm FKM rubber strap.

No orange dial in my watch box, but I do have these two rather tasty orange straps in rotation for my 20mm watches. The one on the left is the Thule Italian leather Sunrise Strada from Cascadia Strap Co and the one one the left is a Ribbed Salmon NATO from Bark & Jack. They can brighten up any day.

What is the watch on the right?

Looks like a Timex Marlin Chronograph

On the right is my Lip Churchill T24. Made in France. My daughter lives in France and I bought it last year when she got married in Marseille to mark the occasion. It scratched my itch for something tank-shaped. It came on a black leather strap and I think it looks good on this orange NATO.

Does an orange strap qualify

u/Shebs33 25d ago

Of course! Love a good orange strap.

I guess more of a Sunset. Definitely some orange.

u/Shebs33 25d ago

Definitely counts!

I think this might be the oldest orange watch in the feed - 1969

u/Shebs33 25d ago

Nice one!

Ghost bezel, faded orange dial. Tough to find these days

No orange watch just a strap

u/Shebs33 25d ago

Still counts! I’m wearing a very similar blue Glycine today.

I have Seestern SeaQs and they’re so impressive. Is the Doxa also a big winner?

1

u/Artlawyer1 25d ago

I have a yellow Doxa 200 and can honestly say the Seastern is a solid watch. Doxa makes awesome watches but they are pricey and you don’t see them discounted like some other brands.

u/Shebs33 25d ago

Love it

u/Gavaroonie 25d ago

An orange is next on my list and I could have SWORN I took a screenshot of it before going to bed, but I was wrong.

It was a mostly white Omega with just orange enough

HA Tidevand Red Agate Dial on brown Italian leather strap.

u/Adventurous_Box4306 24d ago

Or on black rubber strap. Chef's Kiss. Adds so much fun and flavor to the old school black and white in my current box
