Thinking about adding a ceramic watch and am wondering what y’all’s favorite ceramic watch is.

I am leaning towards the Bathyscaphe, but haven’t decided yet.

Well it’s my only ceramic watch...so definitely my favourite. Highly recommend the Bathyscaphe!

Don’t own any myself, but I purchased a nice Rado for my wife that she likes.

I have my eye on the Bulgari Octo Finissimo in Ceramic, I love it in titanium, and I would guess is just more comfortable in Ceramic.

Very nice. I really want to pick one up myself.

My favorite ceramic watch is the Chanel J12 in black. My wife has one. With diamonds. I dont have. Wanted the original issue with the AP movement. But decided to just get an AP RO instead. Twas a few years ago.

Would having a ceramic bezel qualify the watch as ceramic?

Cool watch, not a huge fan of black though. I have a few ceramic bezel watches but am looking for a fully ceramic watch.

The Finissimo is a cool watch indeed! I didn’t realize they offered it in ceramic as well.

Very fond of ceramic watches, have a total of three but if I had to pick a favorite daily it'd be between these two:

Another vote for the ceramic ap diver. It's a special piece.

I owned the original version of the omega dark side of the moon and that was a very nice watch as well.

Panerai PAM00317 - the contrast of the understated matte black case topped with the overwhelming super dome is insanely superb

Frankly I am on the fence if I should have gone for the steel cased Fifty Fathoms Bathyscaphe.

My 317 is my only ceramic... though also have a tegiment steel case which also serves same purpose... basically they look as new since the day I got them

I've been a fan of the Bathyscaphe for both its look and heritage for a long time. So far I've resisted the temptation to own one. Maybe the subliminal desire was why I purchased my most recent Ball Archangel. The coloring is very close to the blue Bathyscaphe. Although my favorite ceramic is still my 50th Anniversary Daytona!!!

Omega dark side of the moon Speedmaster has a beautifully made ceramic case at an "affordable" price :)

uscmatt99 · 2 September 2020, 04:07 AM

I recently tried on this Omega. It's slightly larger than the rest of the 300M Seamasters, but wears smaller due to the color of the case. It's also significantly lighter, using ceramic for the body of the case, and titanium for the rest. The buckle is a beautiful polished ceramic that won't pick up desk-diving marks. Bezel is titanium with a ceramic insert. The numbers and indices on the bezel are enamel, which is not luminescent but really pops against the polished ceramic. Comfort was supreme, right up there with my Explorer on a rubber strap, but obviously chunkier than that reference.

Only bummer for me was that there is no bracelet option, you're stuck with the rubber strap or 3rd party. But I generally wear my Omega POC on rubber anyway, so no biggie, just some lost versatility.
