Off the Hook: The Best Salmon-Dial Watches

In a river of white, black and gray watches, a salmon-colored dial is clearly swimming upstream. But, of course, that’s part of the allure. While they’ve always been rare, salmon dials are having a moment again—turning up on everything from a Patek Philippe perpetual calendar to a Montblanc Pulsograph (which measures heart rate).

Whether the dial tends toward pale rose or light orange, the pastel color contrasts best with a platinum, white gold or stainless steel case—although the warmth of red gold complements it nicely on a sport watch.

The salmon hue also gives a modern timepiece a vintage look (particularly when paired with alpha or swordlike hands) and a unisex appeal. All of which should make you rethink pink and angle for one.
