The blue sunburst with diamond markers on the fluted bezel and Jubilee. It is the dressier version of the blue dial. Same watch as the baton version, but the diamonds add the sparkle that the baton version leaves out.

The dial. Sunburst blue with diamonds. The blue shifts from azure in sunlight to navy in shade, same as the baton version. The diamonds replace the batons and sit in polished metal surrounds. The sparkle against the blue is the whole point. It is a colder, brighter look than the black diamond dial, and it reads more dressed up than the blue baton version. Date at 3 under the cyclops.
The bezel and bracelet. Fluted steel bezel and the Jubilee. The fluted bezel and the polished Jubilee centers both catch light, which stacks on top of the diamond sparkle. It is the most light-reflective config in the all-steel line.
The movement. DD3235, the same VSF 3235 clone. Genuine architecture, instant midnight date flip, real 72-hour reserve.
The steel. All 904L, fluted bezel polished to read as white gold.
The crystal. Sapphire with cyclops and the anti-reflective black hole treatment.
The takeaway. If the blue baton dial is the everyday option, the blue diamond dial is the same watch turned up. The diamonds give it presence without gold, and the blue keeps it fresh rather than formal. It is a good choice if you want a Datejust that catches light from every angle but still wears steel. The blue and diamond combination is one of the most popular upgrades in this range, and it is easy to see why.
