If you’re looking for watches with colored dials, there are many options available in the market. You’ve got the classics like black and white to more popular ones like green and blue. Today we bring you a new dial colour to explore, revisit or reconsider – brown or chocolate. Offering a subdued and warm tone that stands out, brown dials have been available in the watch market for the longest time. Their unique aesthetic and earth-like association can be a great addition to your watch collection.
Here is our list of the top five brown or chocolate dial watches that deserve to be on your wrist:
Longines Legend Diver Watch
Set with a beautiful brown dial with contrasting silver polished hands and painted Arabic numerals and indexes, the Longines Legend Diver occupies a special place in the universe of colored dial watches. A reinterpretation of a 1960s diver watch, the Longines Legend Diver is the perfect symbol of the Swiss watch brand’s rich heritage and aesthetic expertise. Strapped to a brown leather strap, this contemporary watch brings a new look to one of the first diving watches designed by Longines. Priced Rs 1.91 lakh (approximately), the watch is available here.
Tissot Gentleman Powermatic
Offering a delightful contrast of brown and gold, the Tissot Gentleman Powermatic is a beautiful watch. Available in a 40mm 316L stainless steel case with an 18K yellow gold bezel, the Tissot Gentleman Powermatic is set with a rich brown dial that works perfectly against the gold bezel and brown leather strap. The watch offers technical excellence with the powerful Powermatic 80 automatic movement beating inside.

Rado Coupole Classic Automatic Power Reserve
Taking the design cues of a traditional wristwatch and mixing it with the elegance of the Rado DNA, the Coupole Classic Automatic watch makes a powerful first impression. Crafted in a 41mm case structure and set with a unique brown colored dial, the watch signifies an understated elegance and minimalistic approach. The brown dial offers the perfect background for the gold-coloured indexes and hands, along with an elegantly placed power reserve indicator at 9 o’clock and a date window at 3 o’clock.
Like the name suggests (Coupole means ‘dome’ in French), the timepiece oozes a flurry of rounded lines and shapes spreading from the case to the domed crystal, dial and hands. Fitted with a brown leather strap, a shade similar to the dial, the Rado Coupole Classic Automatic is a must-have if you want to add this color to your collection.
Priced at INR 1.43 lakh (approximately), the watch is available here.
Fossil Neutra Chronograph
There is something uniquely attractive about pairing brown and gold. The Fossil Neutra Chronographs is the perfect example of this. It features a two-tone stainless-steel watch set with a marvellous brown dial. The 44mm watch case is comfortable on the wrist. The brown dial with its indented chronograph counters and gold indexes offer perfect contrast and high legibility. Ideal for morning meetings and early dinner plans, the watch offers an impressive presence on the wrist

Casio Edifice
It is a well know fact that brown dials are not very popular when it comes to sporty timepieces. For instance, something about their elegant aura and warm-toned aesthetic pushes many sport watchmakers to avoid this whole colour spectrum. This Casio Edifice (EFR-539L-5AVUDF-EX194) is an exception! It features a suitable and dynamic brown dial that offers detailed information. The presence of chronograph counters inspired by Formula 1 racing cars and a layered face design makes the Casio Edifice break all boundaries of what you’d expect a sports watch to look like.
Priced at Rs 9,295, the watch is available here.
