In this insightful piece, jlux explores the burgeoning popularity of green dial watches, a trend he notes has evolved significantly from its earlier, more aggressive shades. He showcases a diverse range of green hues within his own collection, from British racing green to olive and blue-green. jlux invites the WatchProSite community to share their own green-dialed timepieces, highlighting the growing embrace of this once-uncommon color in haute horlogerie.

Just a few years ago there were not a lot of watches featuring a green dial.
I guess it was the arrival of the Rolex "Hulk" that raised the interest for green dial watches.

By now the color green has become very popular and many brands do have green color dial options,even some conservative brands like PP or BP.

The "new" green is no longer the aggressive grass green but has many different shades and nuances.

Here is what I have:

British racing green.



Khaki green.



Olive green.



Blue green.



I am curious,so please share your green dial watches with the forum !!!

Thanks,
Gerard

The available green watches always have something I don‘t like about them (very subjective!). Some examples: Rolex Hulk - Very nice green but don‘t like the submariner case. Moser Pioneer centre seconds - very nice green, bit the dial is too large for that colour. Breitling xy (don‘t know the model name) - don‘t like the shade of green they used. IWC models - too large.... On the other side there are some green models I liked from pictures, but for whatever reason those were non-european release

The shades really make the difference. From the watches you mentioned I personally like a lot the Moser,although the watch is a bit too big for my taste.

The Omega Seamaster 300 in platinum or in yellow gold: And, of course, the mighty Grande Reverso UT Green London Boutique Edition:

They must be quite impressive,especially the PT version. The green Reverso is just cool (a very nice shade of green btw) !!

...the Premier from the first picture is VERY appealing to me in this color.

I like the green trend and hope to add a green dial watch to my collection some day. Breitling does green very well, I must say. I'm also eyeing this 26 piece release from Sarpaneva. I'm eager to see other green dial watches posted here. M4
