A Time for Aqua: The 6 Most Striking Aquamarine Watches of 2026

As a color, aquamarine has always carried a unique emotional appeal in design. Between the calm of the ocean, the brilliance of a gemstone, and the changing shades of the sky, this captivating color brings a special personality to a timepiece.

In 2026, IWC Schaffhausen, Universal Genève, Gerald Charles, Audemars Piguet, Sartory-Billard, and Chronoswiss each explored aquamarine in their own way, proving that color can be just as expressive as craftsmanship and mechanical innovation.

From elegant heritage-inspired creations to bold independent designs, these six watches reveal the many faces of one of watchmaking’s most captivating shades.

Here are the aquamarine-colored timepieces that caught our attention in 2026.

The IWC Ingenieur Automatic 35 “Pool” brings a refreshing new personality to one of the brand’s most recognizable designs. Its vibrant pool-colored dial transforms the technical character of the Ingenieur into a lighter, more contemporary expression.
 

What makes this edition particularly appealing is the contrast between its engineering heritage and its playful personality. The compact 35mm stainless steel case gives the watch an elegant presence, while the integrated bracelet and structured dial preserve the unmistakable identity of the Ingenieur collection.

Under changing light, the aquamarine surface reveals different nuances, shifting between vibrant reflections and softer tones. This constant evolution gives the watch a dynamic presence on the wrist.
 

The Ingenieur Automatic 35 “Pool” reminds us that even a technical icon can embrace a more expressive and emotional side.

Few watches carry the elegance and historical charm of the Universal Genève Polerouter. With the Camaïeu edition, this legendary design receives a new personality through a sophisticated exploration of aquamarine tones.
 

The beauty of this interpretation lies in its subtlety. Rather than using color as a bold statement, Universal Genève allows the shades to unfold naturally across the dial, creating a refined play of depth and light.

The Polerouter has always represented a certain idea of effortless elegance, and this new version preserves that spirit while introducing a fresh contemporary emotion.
 

For collectors who appreciate discreet luxury and timeless proportions, the Polerouter Camaïeu offers a poetic interpretation of aquamarine.

The Gerald Charles Maestro 2.0 Ultra-Thin Asia Edition demonstrates how an aquamarine dial can bring new energy to an elegant watchmaking creation.
 

Defined by its distinctive Maestro case shape, inspired by the creative vision of Gérald Charles Genta, the watch combines architectural curves with an exceptionally slim profile.

The aquamarine dial introduces a sense of freshness and individuality, creating a beautiful balance with the refined finishing and sophisticated proportions of the case.
 

This edition perfectly reflects a modern vision of luxury: one where craftsmanship, design, and personal expression come together to create something truly distinctive.

The Sartory-Billard SB10 Jumping Hour 250th Anniversary offers one of the most poetic interpretations of aquamarine in this selection.
 

Instead of simply applying a color to the dial, Sartory-Billard created a surface inspired by the natural evolution of copper and the blue-green patina that develops over time. This approach makes the material itself become part of the story, part of the watch’s personality. Combined with the jumping-hour display and handcrafted details, this SB10 feels closer to a piece of contemporary art than a traditional timepiece.
 

It is a celebration of transformation, reminding us that time not only passes, but it also leaves its mark.

The Chronoswiss Space Timer Gravity takes aquamarine into a completely different dimension, transforming the color into a journey of exploration and imagination.
 

Its shifting blue-green dial creates a constantly changing visual experience, combining intricate textures, hand-guilloché decoration, and a lunar-inspired engraved surface.

Inside its 44mm stainless steel case, the watch showcases Chronoswiss’ signature creativity through its regulator display, moonphase indication, and three-dimensional construction.
 

Limited to only 50 pieces, the Space Timer Gravity captures the spirit of independent watchmaking: bold ideas, exceptional craftsmanship, and the freedom to create something truly different.

One of our Rare Birds from Watches and Wonders 2026, the Audemars Piguet Établisseurs Galets offers a unique interpretation of aquamarine, not through a traditional dial color, but through the natural beauty of the material itself.
 

Inspired by the smooth stones shaped by water in the Vallée de Joux, this creation transforms nature’s organic forms into a sculptural timepiece. Its pebble-like yellow gold case and flowing silhouette create a sense of harmony, as if the watch had been shaped by nature itself.

The highlight is its oval natural stone dial, free from hour markers, allowing the mineral surface to reveal its own texture and blue-green nuances. Every glance offers a slightly different experience, making the watch feel truly personal.
 

Powered by the hand-wound Calibre 3098, with refined hand-finished details, the Établisseurs Galets reflects Audemars Piguet’s dedication to craftsmanship, where art, nature, and watchmaking meet.
