Festina Blue Men's Watch

What sets a blue-dial Festina apart, measured across our range

We compared these models with all our Festina men's watches, and most of the differences are modest. The most visible concerns the strap: a blue strap comes with one watch in seven, compared with one in twenty-five across the rest of the brand. The style follows the same pattern: classic styles drop by half, in favour of sport and fashion models, which together account for more than three watches in four.

Water resistance also varies slightly. One blue watch in four reaches 10 ATM, compared with one in three for other Festina watches, and one in ten stops at 3 ATM, more often than elsewhere. The rest does not change: a median diameter of 44 mm, a thickness of 12.5 mm, a 22 mm strap, steel on three watches in four and leather on one in five. The blue dial therefore changes neither the case size nor the technical specifications of a Festina.

Sport, Retro, Extra: the Festina lines in blue

The Festina Sport and Festina Retro lines each supply roughly one watch in seven, followed by Extra and Elegance, then Multifunction and Chrono Bike. Nearly one in three features a chronograph, and the date appears on more than six models in ten. As for indexes, baton markers dominate on six watches in ten, and a quarter of models add numerals for a clearer reading. For a sporty Festina with a blue dial, look for chronographs on steel; for city wear, three-hand models on leather. Prefer a more understated dial? The Festina black men's watch offers the brand with a black dial.

Steel, leather or gold: pairing the blue

On steel, blue looks fresh and versatile: a blue-dial Festina men's steel watch moves from jeans to a grey suit without changing wrists. On leather, it takes on a more dressy tone. Our Festina men's leather watch page brings together all the leather Festinas. A minority pairs the blue dial with a gold-tone strap or case: the Festina blue and gold men's watch is the most eye-catching in the selection, best reserved for simple outfits.
