TOP 10 bright watches for summer

Hello everyone, you are on the channel about Feeltime watches, Stanislav is in touch as always, and today we will have a selection of bright watches for those who want to match the summer mood. Well, that is, a selection of watches with very bright dials.

Well, summer is coming, beautiful weather. You need to create your own mood. Otherwise no one will do this except you.

And a watch is just that element of your style that can really lift your spirits.

Now is the time when you have the opportunity to move away from black, gray dials and experiment with bright colors.

And watch brands are shouting about it. Look, for example, at how many yellow dials there are now. Although recently many would have said: “What color is that?”

So you choose what you will wear this summer: wear black with a sad face, or choose something bright and enjoy this very hot summer.

№10 Venezianico Redentore

And let's begin We are probably starting with models from the Italian brand Venezianico, the latest supply of which has just arrived at my Feeltime store in Ukraine.

The model is called Venezianico Redentore and is dedicated to the famous church of Il Redentore in Venice, the engraving of which you can see on the back of the watch.

The model is available in 3 bright colors of dials and straps made of genuine Italian leather. These are green, red and blue.

I also note that this model can be safely considered unisex, since the case diameter is only 36 mm.

Well, since we're talking about sizes, let's take them off.

Diameter - 36 mm, from lug to lug - 45 mm, thickness - 12 mm, weight - 64 grams.

The watch fits perfectly on my small hand, 18 cm in circumference.

I can confidently say that both the size and design make this watch absolutely universal. That is, they are perfect for both men with thin brushes and women.

The design of the model is very nice. Here you can find minimalism, elegance and Italian style. Everything is mixed in one bottle.

The body has a streamlined shape. Made from 316l stainless steel. The sides are satin-finished. Ears and bezel are mirror polished. Venezianico's finishing quality is excellent.

The watch comes with a strap made of genuine Italian leather. I'm also pleased with the quality.

The characteristics are as follows:

Sapphire crystal
Water resistance is 50 meters, which is the norm for casual watches. You can wash your hands and not be afraid of the rain.
And on board is a Japanese mechanical automatic Seiko NH35A. Absolutely reliable and trouble-free mechanism.

And of course, that’s what we’ve gathered here for. Dials.

The core is made in the texture of a voluminous, diamond-shaped surface, along the edge of which there is a plate with a very unusual, applied Arabic font.

At the top of the dial there is an applied Venezianico logo and the name of the brand itself.

But below, the name of the Redentore collection is succinctly indicated.

There is no date for the Word to God. They didn't ruin such a wonderful dial.

I don’t know about you, but for me the watch is extremely pleasant. Italians know how to do things tastefully. And the style of the watch is clear and understandable.

№9 NTH Devilray

Our next model will be from the American microbrand NTH from the Devilray collection, which, in contrast to Italian elegance, will offer American brutality.

These are professional divers with extreme water resistance of 500 meters and in a proprietary “Turtle” case.

NTH is a brand that is very careful about the quality of its watches.

The case and bracelet here are made of 316l stainless steel. The finishing and workmanship of the watch is gorgeous.

Complex case, excellent quality bracelet with a comfortable clasp.

There is an expensive engraving of a stingray on the back of the watch. Actually, this is a literal translation of Devilray - the name of the collection of this model.

The watch's width is 42 mm, from lug to lug - 45 mm, thickness - 15 mm, weight on a full bracelet - 199 grams.

Basically a monster.

The characteristics are as follows:

Bezel 120 clicks counterclockwise. The bezel has a 12-hour scale and 60-minute markings.

Plus the brightest Swiss Super Luminova. Let's check it out right away.

Sapphire crystal with anti-reflective coating.
Water protection - 500 meters.
And on board there is a Japanese mechanical automatic movement Seiko NH34 installed. This mechanism has a GMT (second time zone) function.

Well, let's look at the dial.

There is a very bright silver plate here.

Hour markers are applied. From them begins a sharp rise to the glass, along the edge of which there are multi-colored marks. Due to this rise, the dial looks like a swimming pool. That is, visually it is strongly recessed down.

The arrows are clearly highlighted. Orange minute hand and orange second hand tip. The GMT second hour hand is bright red.

In general, now is definitely the time for these hours. And with NTH Devilray water you're fine.

No. 8 Phoibos Voyager

The next watches we will have are two models from the microbrand Phoibos from the Voyager collection.

I took the 2 brightest colors for today. Blue and Yellow.

This is a casual, diver's watch. A model that Foibos produced in a large number of colors and these watches are still the base of the brand.

And all because it has a recognizable design, excellent quality, characteristics and a very affordable price.

316l stainless steel case and bracelet.

The sides are satin-finished. There is some mirror polishing on the crown guards and on the sides of the bezel, which gives the watch a nice dimension.

The bezel itself has a ceramic insert and 12 o'clock markings. Rotates 120 clicks counterclockwise.

On the back of the watch there is a signature octopus engraving - the Phoibos brand logo.

The bracelet is of excellent quality. In a combination of central links with a mirror polish and side links with a satin finish, which again gives good volume.

High-quality and comfortable clapper-type clasp. Fully cast.

The watch dimensions are 39 mm diameter, 45 mm from lug to lug, thickness 13.5 mm, weight 167 grams on a full bracelet.

The characteristics are as follows:

Sapphire with 3 layers of anti-glare
15 layers of Swiss Super Luminova
Water protection - 200 meters. The head is screwed down for better sealing. The watch can be used for diving.
And on board is an all-time classic for affordable microbrands - the Japanese mechanical Seiko NH35A.

And of course the dial.

Very bright, rich color. Unusually shaped wedge-shaped hands and markers with a bold, black border. This gives greater contrast and high readability of the watch.

It’s also nice that Phoibos pays attention to such little things as covering the date. It is the same color as the dial plate, so as not to distract your attention.

A watch that looks and feels much more expensive than its price. Well, the colors are just amazing.

Next we will have a constant hit from Spinnaker Dumas, dedicated to Frederic Dumas - a member of the crew of Jacques Cousteau. Famous oceanographer and diver of the last century.

No. 7 Spinnaker Dumas

The watch is as brutal and masculine as possible.

Barrel-shaped body made of 316l stainless steel.

The sides are satin-finished. There are strips of mirror polishing between the transitions, which, I will not tire of repeating, gives the watch more gloss and volume.

The watch's dimensions are diameter 44 mm, from lug to lug - 47 mm, thickness - 14 mm, weight on a full bracelet - 210 grams.

It seems like a really big watch, but it fits my hand quite well. Here, your feeling will most likely play a major role.

Although the watch bracelet is thick, the geometry is excellent. As is the quality.

The clasp is a bit outdated, though. But it looks good and is comfortable. There is even some kind of diving extension.

Well, the model dedicated to the driver by default should be a diver.

Water protection - 300 meters.
Sapphire crystal with anti-reflective coating.
The bezel is made of tempered glass and rotates 120 clicks counterclockwise.
Swiss Super Luminova shines brightly in the dark.

And on board is the same Japanese Seiko NH35A.

The design of the dials is superb.

Brutal, unusually shaped hands. Applied hour markers. All this makes the dial very voluminous.

Along the edge of the dial there is also a raised plate with minute markings.

Date at 3 o'clock with bold aperture.

Readability is excellent. As is the design.

This model also has more classic dial colors. But these are a must-have for summer

Next, we return again to the latest arrivals from my Venezianico store from the Nereide collection.

№6 Venezianico Nereide

Model dedicated to the Italian submarine Nereide, which was in service in Italy during the Second World War.

The first model with a very rich, bright, red dial and bezel.

I think that this is an absolutely everyday, casual watch, which, by the way, would be quite appropriate even with a jacket and trousers. You just need to choose the colors wisely.

If it's a jacket and jeans, then it's absolutely perfect.

The VENEZIANICO corporate style is present in the watch.

316l stainless steel body. Fine quality finish with satin finish on the sides and mirror polish on the top of the lugs.

Ears with rather complex, faceted transitions that you won’t notice right away. These are nice details.

Comfortable head under protective beads with an engraving of a cross and the Venezianico brand logo.

On the back cover there is an engraving of the same Nereide submarine.

The body is quite large. Diameter - 42 mm, from lug to lug - 48 mm, thickness - 13.5 mm, weight - 177 grams on a full bracelet.

On my hand 18 cm. The girth fits well, but I would recommend them for a larger wrist. Then they will open up much better.

The watch has a branded bracelet, which Venezianico has patented. It is made in 16 unique shapes.

The main links are in the form of satin bars, the inner part is in the form of barrels with mirror polishing.

Butterfly clasp. Hides the fastening mechanism.

The watch bezel is made of tempered glass. Very comfortable and confident.
Sapphire crystal with anti-reflective coating.
Swiss Super Luminova on hands and markers.
Water protection - 200 meters. The watch can be worn not only in a suit, but also under water.
And on board is the unchanged Japanese mechanics Seiko NH35A.

The dial is simply beautiful.

Firstly the color. Secondly, very simple, but stylish markup. The applied hour markers provide excellent volume.

Applique logo at the top of the dial. Below it is the name of the Venezianico brand, and below is the name of the Nereide collection and some of the characteristics. Everything is written in Italian.

In general, the dial shimmers very nicely and expensively. I definitely like it.

But the second version of this model, which I will show today, will be a little more playful. Both in quality and characteristics, and in price.

It looks similar to the previous model, but the price is almost 2 times higher.

All links to the models that I showed will be in the description of this video.

Well, first of all, you can immediately see how the feel of the watch changes with the same color of the strap and dial. Although, by and large, this is a similar building.

The watch strap is made of very high quality green rubber. I am glad that the guys did not take some basic belt, but developed their own.

It is really comfortable, soft, elastic.

Nevertheless, I now have on sale branded bracelets like those on a watch with a red dial, and they can optionally be purchased for this model. Check out the details in my personal Telegram, links to which will be in the description of the video.

The body, although identical to the previous model, is more complex.

The sides and ears are completely satin-finished. I definitely like this better. I also like the fact that the mirror polishing strip runs in a solid contour along the entire side surface. It looks great.

Plus, the complex transitions on the ears are more pronounced on the satin surface.

The engraving of the Nereide submarine on the back of the watch is also more interesting.

And the unusual shade of the bezel might also catch your eye. It looks like metal, but it's not. This is tungsten. The hardest and most durable metal in the world.

It is not only well protected, but also looks very unusual.

The watch dimensions are similar to the version with a red dial. Only the weight is less due to the strap. This is 120 grams.

What can I say - the watch is large. I definitely recommend it for a larger wrist than mine.

There are differences in characteristics.

There's a tungsten bezel here, as I said.
Anti-reflective sapphire crystal
Swiss Super Luminova
The same water protection - 200 meters.
But on board is already a much more serious Swiss automatic machine Sellita SW200-1 with a power reserve of 40 hours.

The mechanism is very reliable and has proven itself over many years of existence.

Some Swiss use this mechanism in watches that cost $2000.

The dial is gorgeous.

Very beautiful, green mother of pearl. Bright, juicy, contrasting.

The labels are different from the previous model. They have a more complex shape + a combination of satin and mirror polishing, which is actually more painstaking work on such small elements.

That is, if you hold the red and green versions at arm's length, it may seem that they are identical watches. But it is not so.

The devil is in the details.

This is why you often write in the comments that it is better to buy a watch for $100 than for $1000. It just seems to you from the pictures that they are the same.

But I see that even within the same brand, when the watches look similar, they are not the same at all. And the price, accordingly, is different.

Friends, are you bored yet?

I really have a lot of hours here.

And next up will be this year's hit from the micro brand Phoibos with their new, re-released Wave Master model with a diameter of 39.5 mm.

№5 Phoibos Wave Master

I just recently told you that I got this watch with a purple dial and I absolutely love it.

But the brightest colors are yellow and orange.

These are everyday divers and those watches that are made and look significantly more expensive than their price.

316l stainless steel case and bracelet.

The sides and top of the lugs are satin-finished. Between the surfaces there is a thick strip of mirror polish. Which, guess what? Right! Gives more volume. Well, it's fashionable today.

The watch bezel has a ceramic insert. And since the GMT function is implemented in the model, they did not make it a diving watch, but marked it with a 24-hour scale and it rotates 24 clicks in both directions.

The quality of the bracelet and the quality of the case are excellent!

On the back of the watch there is a branded octopus in the form of an expensive engraving. It is also on the crown.

The dimensions are as follows:

Diameter - 39.5 mm, from lug to lug - 46 mm, thickness - 12 mm, weight - 175 grams.

On my hand they are 18 cm. In girth they fit like family.

Characteristics as always at their best:

Sapphire with 3 layers of anti-glare.

15 layers of Swiss Super Luminova

Water resistance - 200 meters

And on board is a Japanese mechanical Seiko NH34 with GMT function.

The dial is bright. Signature wave texture.

Excellent contrast between the main dial plate and the all-black bezel.

I really like the contrast of the hands and markers with the dial. The bright blue color blends very well with other colors.

I don’t know about you, but I get a kick out of these watches.

Our next model is from the Spinnaker brand from the Hass collection.

#4 Spinnaker Hass

Hans Hass is a famous Austrian biologist, diver, and oceanographer of the last century. It is in his honor that the model is named.

And this is again an everyday diver.

Massive, brutal watch.

316l stainless steel case and bracelet. Good quality finish.

The sides and ears are satin-finished. Between them is a strip of mirror polishing.

Comfortable head without protective bulges. After all, these are retro divers.

The bezel is painted with black IP coating. It has two scales. Standard minute markings and countdown scale. The bezel rotates 120 clicks counterclockwise. The grip and movement are pleasant.

The bracelet is quite complex. Looks great. The quality matches the case.

The clasp, as I said, is of an old style, but comfortable and, again, fits the design. There is a diving extension. It's flimsy, but you can't look a gift horse in the mouth.

The sizes are quite powerful.

Diameter - 43 mm. From lug to lug - 51 mm, Thickness - 15.3 mm, weight - 198 grams.

However, the fit on my skinny arm is very good. It's more of a moment of perception.

Characteristics

Sapphire crystal with anti-reflective coating
Swiss Super Luminova
On board is a Japanese mechanical automatic Seiko NH16 with days of the week and date
And professional water protection - 300 meters.

The dial is matte. The color is calm and pleasant.

Several levels of the dial give good volume. As well as the black minute track and hands give good contrast and readability in total.

The tags are overhead, which also gives more volume.

It’s nice that the date with the days of the week is on a yellow background, so as not to distract attention.

Usually big brands don’t bother with watches at this price. But microbrands will delight you with joy.

And we are confidently moving towards the final models of our review.

And our penultimate beauties will be Phoibos from the Great Wall collection.

№2 Phoibos Great Wall

A model that is dedicated to the Great Wall of China and is limited to 800 pieces for each color. There are 4 of them in total. And all of them are still available in my Feeltime online store.

I'll show you the brightest one.

This is a very unusual model that literally contains elements of the Great Wall of China. These are the vaults of the towers on the bezel. This is also a literal engraving on the back of the watch.

Overall the case is complex and well thought out.

Fully satin finish. Excellent quality finish. There are interesting transitions between surfaces with matte inclusions.

The bezel is very comfortable and nicely framed by mirror-polished circles.

This is one of those watches that you pick up and want to look at and study the details.

The strap is made of very high quality rubber with a powerful clasp.

Each color is paired with an individually colored genuine leather belt. The belts are very high quality.

The only thing I would like is a quick replacement system, since we decided to pamper it.

Dimensions of the watch.

Diameter - 42 mm, from lug to lug - 47 mm, thickness - 12 mm, weight - 118 grams.

The watch fits perfectly on my hand.

The characteristics are great.

Sapphire with 3 layers of anti-glare

15 layers of Swiss Super Luminova

Water protection - 300 meters.

And on board is already a more serious Japanese one from the Citizen company with the Miyota 9015 caliber. Such mechanisms are already used in more expensive microbrands.

Well, the dial is very bright. It is a continuation of the history of the Great Wall of China.

Here you will find marks in the form of shields, and arrows in the form of swords and spears.

The detail and color are excellent.

And the date in each color matches the color of the dial, again attention to detail.

This model is an example of how you can get a truly chic watch with its own feature at a very reasonable price.

And the last in my selection for today will be the Italian Venezianico from the Nereide Ultraleggero collection, which arrived at my store in bright green and blue.

№1 Venezianico Nereide Ultraleggero

As you may have noticed, this model is somewhat similar to the same green Nereide that you saw today, but due to some elements the differences are still noticeable.

Of course, the first thing that catches your eye is the multi-layered, skeletonized dial, for which Venezianico has a patent.

The quality and finish of the case is exactly similar to the Venezianico Nereide chus that we have seen before. Only the bezel here is not made of tungsten, but simply with a stainless steel insert, which also looks very good.

And on the back cover you will find an engraving not of a submarine, but of a Vetruvian man.

I'm sure you've already forgotten the sizes, so let's refresh.

Diameter - 42 mm, from lug to lug - 49 mm, thickness - 13.1 mm, weight - 115 grams.

Overall, I like the bracelet version better, the way it fits on my hand. Here the strap creates a wide arc and this model definitely requires a larger wrist.

Let me remind you that you can purchase a branded bracelet for this watch. For details, write to my personal telegram, links to which will be in the description of this video.

The characteristics are as follows:

Sapphire with anti-reflective coating
Swiss Super Luminova
Water resistance - 200 meters
And on board is a Japanese mechanical automatic Seiko NH70

The dials are bright, beautiful, and most importantly recognizable.

At the same time, I will tell you that despite the skeletons, Venezianico were able to achieve good readability due to the well-defined, overlaid minute markings.

By the way, speaking about the complexity of the dial, which I mentioned earlier - this is a mechanism, above it is a pattern, and above the pattern is glass, on which you can see certain inscriptions and the same applied logo.

Nice, handsome guys. And they are most relevant right now!

Well, friends, this review has come to an end.

Are you bored? I hope not. And if you were interested in this format, be sure to let me know in the comments.

As a result, I want to say that, of course, many of these models are unlikely to become your first. There are much better options for everyday watches.

These watches are just created for those who have already had enough of the usual and want variety and new, brighter emotions.

For example, I am already one of those people. When you have 6 watches, you just don’t want to buy a 7e with a black dial.

And now it’s summer, and, to be honest, I’ve been craving bright things lately. Bo I'm just tired of the monotony. It’s clear that brands understand this, which is why lately bright colors have been at their peak.

Well, how do you feel about such bright trends? Write your opinion in the comments.

Don't hesitate to thank with a like. And that's all for me. Stanislav was with you as always. Until next time. Bye!
