29 Best Green Dial Watches To Level Up Your Wrist Game

 

Watch brands globally have started to realise that green may in fact be the go-to colour for catching the eyes of first time and experienced horological connoisseurs. Symbolising nature, energy and renewability, this tone is gathering pace in the sector. Who said anything about a rolling stone gathering no moss?

In fact, green has become an industry standard as opposed to a colour that's only used on unique or bizarre timepieces. So it’s out with the blue or black faces and in with some of the best green dials to have graced a variety of watch types, including military timepieces, pilot models and water inspired numbers. 

Looking to make a splash? Check out our inspirational guide to the best diver watches

Now you can opt for mint greens to the astonishing depth of British racing green like the Blancpain Villeret Perpetual Calendar, depending on how disguisable you want your watch to be. Or you can purchase one of the most popular Rolex watches of them all…the Hulk

Chrono Hunter appreciates that you may only like certain shades and colour types, so we have done the research and compiled a list of the 29 best green dial watches to date. Ideal for entry level or experienced buyers, we have plunged the depths of the sea and come back to the surface with what we believe are the top green dials that ooze flex appeal.

Whether sauntering down South Beach or hitting another winning forehand on your private tennis court, there is a green dial for every type of horophile.

Last month saw the release of the incredible Villeret Quantième Perpétuel, or Villeret Perpetual Calendar. The Villeret is known for its extensive portfolio of models, but this latest iteration may take the Golden Boot for style and functionality. 

Measuring 40.3mm x 10.8mm thick in red gold, these timepieces are prized for being ergonomic and capable of slipping under your finest white shirt cuffs. Furthermore, the case is entirely polished, pertaining to the dressy luxury of this watch. Despite only offering 30 metres of water resistance, the complications are a timely intervention!

Given a stepped bezel alongside outwardly curved lugs, this is to entitle their patented under-lug correctors to allow swift adjustments and an easy user experience. The British racing green dial is given a sunburst finish to promote the red gold Roman numerals and equally golden leaf shaped hands. 

The green dial isn’t all consuming allowing the recessed subdials at 12, 3, 6 and 9 o’clock, totalling month, date, moonphase indicator and weekday indicators to stand out majestically. Ok, we are done with the royal associations.

Driven by the 5954 movement, the Villeret Perpetual Calendar is supported by a silicon hairspring and has a gorgeous gold oscillating weight with an engraved pattern, accessible through the exhibition caseback. Oh glory be.

The watches offer a weekend proof 72 hour power reserve which is incredible given they power a perpetual calendar that doesn't need to be altered until the year 2100. Secured onto a brown alligator leather strap, they would look great against a cashmere green jumper for that effortless style. 

- You can buy a Blancpain Villeret Perpetual Calendar at retail for £47,100 as of May 2024.

It was of great interest when they released in February 2024 a new play on the diver BR 03-92. Associated with the classic seafaring pieces that came in steel, they have sought to infuse a fresh breath of life thanks to the inclusion of bronze materials and of course…green dials. 

Coming in at 42mm in the same case shape since the original BR 01 in 2005, the Diver square watches are fitted with a black anodized aluminium insert, housed within a very tidy bronze bezel. 

Fitted with crown guards, screw down crown and screw down caseback, we can be assured of a 300 metre water resistance. Yep, diver watches don’t get much better. With ISO 6425 certification this one is sure to patina to become individual to your lifestyle. 

Investment opportunity klaxon!

The green dial is given a teal sort of shade which sits well inside the cockpit instrument inspired case. Fitted with black baignoire hands that have a thick strip of luminescence, this follows across onto the dot and baton hour markers. 

Take note of the small date aperture residing between 4 and 5 o’clock. It may be a little tough to see, but it adds another level of functionality to the piece. 

Powered by the BR-CAL.302 movement within the Diver piece, this number beats away at 28,800VpH or 4Hz and offers a 54 hour power reserve giving you sufficient time for that last minute overseas business trip. We can easily see you pulling this off with a black polo shirt or an oversized navy blue suit jacket for those special occasions

When you say Gerald we say…no, not Ford. Genta naturally. 

Marking its 50th anniversary in 2023, this Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Offshore is crafted in a black ceramic case of 43mm. It does appear quite bulky due to the sizable crown guards and bulbous bevels which are thoroughly polished but when you buy an Audemars Piguet, you are purchasing a piece of history.

Fitted with a curved sapphire crystal, the dial is entirely skeletonised which exposes various components of the movement. Showcasing a flying tourbillon at 6 o’clock, alongside chronograph sub counters at 3 and 9 o’clock, the minute track on the vibrant green flange is highlighted in black. This allows green elements at either side of the tourbillon and at 12 o’clock to clearly stand out. 

The hands on this particular best green dial are rose gold and accompanied by a red seconds hand which is extremely visible against the face. This colour is in perfect synergy with the hands used on both the 30-minute and 12 hour chronograph counters.

Its water resistance of 100 metres is fantastic for the shower, pool and anything that doesn't require you to become a Jacques Cousteau wannabe.

Behind the greenery is the Movement 2967. Running at 3Hz with a 65 hour power reserve, the Royal Oak Offshore Tourbillon is both reliable and like an Olympian triathlete can go the distance. Rock this green rubber bracelet with a grey jacket or blue T-shirt to really enhance your wrist worthiness.

The Omega Seamaster Aqua Terra has been meddling with green for a while, including the stunning 41mm edition with a beautiful teak colour from 2020. Sure, we like the larger timepiece. But everyone knows that small diver watches are the way forward. Isn’t that right Tudor?

We’ve seen the blue shades from last year, covering the Ploprof to the legendary diver Seamaster. And the latter has been seen on many occasions across a host of James Bond films.

And while Daniel Craig caught our eye last year with an exclusive first look at a never-before- seen white dial Speedmaster, it is this sexy green Seamaster that we only have eyes for.

Nevertheless, green may just be the victor in this particular colour battle. In terms of great changes in design, there is nothing that different between the sizes, aside from the obvious variance in millimetres for both thickness and diameter. 

Measuring 38mm x 12mm thick of brushed steel and polished tops, we love the green PVD coated dial that’s given horizontal lines to add an extra dimension. They undergo a beautiful sunray finish to allow those rhodium plated hands and tooth shaped hour markers to shine. They are similarly coated with Super-Luminova, giving the wearer maximum visibility, perfect for the avid diver!

Capable of reaching 150 metres of water resistance, this Seamaster pulsates away at 3.5Hz delivering a total 55 hour power reserve through the calibre 8800. Oh yes, fitted with a Co-Axial escapement, longevity and Master Chronometer certification is the order of the day here. 

Strapped onto a 3-link steel bracelet, you can pull this off with a black T-shirt or green suit if you plan on gracing the office with your sports-chic piece. Grail status? Not quite, but certainly an introductory step into this phenomenal luxury collection

Introduced in 1967 alongside the brilliant 44GS line, the 62GS took the 44GS style and turned it into a brilliant bezel-free design, allowing the case to seemingly sit suspended on top of the dial. 

Sized at 38mm, the 62GS is crafted out of titanium which opts for both lightness and immense durability. This accessible watch is a perfect piece to wear on the wrist due to its slender 12.9mm thickness alongside its beautiful presentation in the form of the Japanese brand’s classic Zaratsu polishing. 

The lack of bezel stretches the dial and makes the lugs appear more streamlined to the bracelet and the case. Capable of offering 100 metres of water resistance (not quite a diver, but certainly good enough for the bathtub), these pieces are both sporty and have an air of luxury that even a K-Pop star couldn’t avert their gaze from!

The dial is named Sakura-Wakaba which is a light green shade that pertains to the moment flowers bloom and leaves sprout. And this one is certainly growing on us. This serene setting allows the polished baton hour markers and hands to be enhanced alongside the fairly present date aperture at 3 o’clock. 

Given a sapphire caseback, you can enjoy a direct view into the genius of the 9S85 calibre. This automatic calibre provides a brilliant 5Hz beat and a highly accurate +5 to -3 seconds per day variance. Power reserve? 55 hours to boot. 

Given a titanium bracelet with a push button release clasp, we recommend you taping this alongside a navy suit for the office or white t and designer jeans for those lazy Sunday lunches.

Sized at 41mm of steel, the models have 100 metres of water resistance and given attractive design codes such as pump pushers alongside short lugs. Given polished sides alongside a brushed top, these watches are both modern with a throwback to the original stylings of the 1994 Chronomaster. Who needs Tom Brady and his Rolex Day-Date Puzzle dial 

We appreciate the 100 metres of water resistance though as it pertains to the sporty allure of the model.

Meanwhile the green dial is given a lacquered coating to showcase the recessed subdials, including a running seconds at 9 o’clock, chronograph seconds at 3 o’clock and a 60 second counter at 6 o’clock. The subdials have a classic tricolour aesthetic while the hands and hour markers are silvered and clearly stand out against the dial, especially with the layer of lume.

The watches are powered by the calibre 3600 which is visible through the sapphire caseback. Offering a 60 hour power reserve alongside a 5Hz frequency, this Chronomaster Sport has that iconic El Primero status which entitles it to pulsate with 1/10th of a second chronograph functionality. 

Fitted onto a steel bracelet, we think this best green dial watch would look delightful alongside a black suit or cream polo shirt.

Blue is the colour and football is the game. 

That might be the anthem that Chelsea FC come out to at Stamford Bridge, part owned by LA Dodgers co-owner Tood Boehly. 

Yet green is on the menu that isn't normally associated in horology compared to black, red or the captivating shades of a luxurious gold. However, Hublot has made it their mission to make this tone their flagship colour through the Big Bang UNICO Saxem. 

We don’t know if there is a football theme going on here with all this green, resonating to the hallowed turf, but Hublot has been worn by the good and the great across the beautiful game. 

Ranging from Gareth Southgate to Jose Mourinho who has previously been a brand ambassador, what exactly is so “special” about this Big Bang?

Source - Hublot

Best Place To Buy A Luxury Watch  Best Place To Sell A Luxury Watch

Saxem is essentially sapphire aluminium oxide and rare earth mineral. Mixing sapphire with other materials like holmium, it’s entirely transparent (with a green tinge) and allows for the purest legibility.

Sized at 42mm x 14.5 thick, these timepieces are fitted with classic Big Bang elements like H-shaped screws crafted from titanium. Water resistance is not a critical priority as that's only capped at 50 metres so we would advise against any wild watersports or jet skiing. 

The dial is openworked and finished with black resin to allow hour markers like the Arabic numerals and hands to stand out clearly. On to the chronograph subdials which in our opinion are quite hard to view since they blend in with the black elements. But they do feature green luminous numbers and markers, in accordance with the hour markers and hands. 

Fitted with a 60 minute chronograph subdial at 3 o’clock, and running seconds based at 9 o’clock, we think this deserves a place on our best green dial list because it offers quite a punch, especially since it looks so avant-garde in design. The small date aperture located at 3 o’clock could prove difficult to view too as it rests within the subdial. 

The Big Bang UNICO Saxem is powered by the MHUB1280 which is supported by a column wheel. Given a 72 hour power reserve, they run at 28,800VpH which is very accurate. Regarding the style stakes, we can see you pulling this off with a charcoal grey suit or simple green T-shirt to let your wrist do the talking.

When there’s a line with a legacy like the Carrera, it’s only right that every anniversary is followed by a righteous celebration. And they had been pulling out the party poppers in 2023 with a number of different releases. Therefore, the Carrera Chronograph Tourbillon Glassbox is only fitting to make it onto our best green dial watches list.

This truly is a remarkable celebration marking 60 years of this incredible collection which arguably defines this Swiss outfit. 

Besides with Oscars fever looming every March, this is a great marketing opportunity for some of the biggest names out there. For example, the duel between Barbie and Oppenheimer yielded an incredible response, even including eyes being drawn to the wristwear.

Sized at 42mm of steel with a thickness of 14.33m this timepiece has a water resistance of 100 metres with both brushed and polished surfaces. Emanating modernity from every faceted angle, it still retains the 1963 classic circular case and characteristic large crown that has made this such a fans favourite. 

Given a curved Glassbox crystal that physically lifts up from the case and creates a dome styled effect, the minute track is incredibly legible around the periphery of the green dial. What else is there to mention? 

Given a skeletonised tourbillon at 6 o’clock alongside accompanying chronograph subdials at 9 o’clock for elapsed hours and 3 o’clock for elapsed minutes, the silver hour markers and hands are given a coating of lume for maximum legibility in different types of conditions. 

This beast is powered by the TH20-09 column wheel which is an epic chronograph calibre that's supported by a tourbillon for top accuracy. It provides a 28,800VpH alongside a 65 hour power reserve. Equipped with a black leather band, we can see you adorning this with a dark green suit or a minimalist quarter-zip jumper.

Want a fun fact?

Following the release of the original Traditional Chinese Calendar in 2012, it was the Year of the Dragon. 12 months later, the calendar made its return again to the Dragon in 2024

Fancy kitting yourself out in a Lunar New Year Of The Dragon watch? Here’s our take on the stainless IWC Portugieser Year Of The Dragon chronograph 

Crafted out of rose gold, the 45.2mm watches have a very thick 15.1mm case size. However, this isn't just a chunk of precious metal… Offering a mediocre 30 metre water resistance, they are fitted with patented under-lug correctors for easy bracelet changes, alongside a sapphire caseback. 

Given a deep green enamel dial with Grand Feu finishing, the Roman numeral hour markers and hands are given a rose gold shade to keep with the case and offer an extra level of refinement. In addition, we really like the serpentine central hand that is slightly bent and ties in with the calendar ring on the dial's periphery. 

But hang on a second…there is more complexity to come. For example, there is a moon-phase sub-counter at 6 o’clock and the rest of the subdials at 3, 9 and 12 o’clock relating to the Chinese calendar. This includes a yin and yang symbol which relates to a variety of elements including fire, water and the 10 “heavenly stems''. 

Powered by the Movement 3638, these green dial watches have a 4Hz alongside a truly amazing 7 day power reserve. We are talking just under Panerai level here as seen on the Panerai Luminor Marina with an 8 day power reserve

Fitted onto a brown leather strap, pair this with grey chinos and a long-sleeved black polo shirt or neutral tones to make this really pop.

This 40mm 18K white gold wonder is a very slinky 9.86mm thick which allows it to slide under shirt cuffs effortlessly and deal with everything throughout your everyday hustle and bustle. Given a polished bezel alongside vertical brushed case sides and a large crown, the design codes closely mirror the classic L.U.C XPS 1860 watch from 1997. 

The grey and green dial is attained through galvanic treatment, producing a stunning grey and green sheen. The hand crafted guilloché finish allows for a honeycomb style dial, promoting the legibility of the rhodium plated tooth shaped hour markers and syringe style hands. But let’s get to the point.

Skipping merrily away at 28,800VpH, it is powered by the self winding calibre, the L.U.C 96.32-L has a weekend proof 65 hour power reserve and a COSC certified movement, visible through the exhibition caseback.

Built out of polished steel with brushed case sides and lugs, the famed square case measures 41.9mm in diameter and an exceptionally slender 8.8mm thickness. Almost as sleek as those models that have just finished at London Fashion Week.

Evoking elegance, timelessness and sophistication, surprisingly, you are entitled to 100 metres water resistance which is very interesting given the slick design. 

Wearer of many timekeeping hats and exceptionally functional, these watches seem to blur the line between luxury and sporty utility. Boasting 8 visible screws across the bezel, the models are fitted with a ridged crown that's topped with a synthetic faceted blue spinel. 

Fitted with rhodium plated Roman numerals and hands which are coated with lume, legibility is a priority which is fully displayed across a dark green gradated dial, meaning it's darker on the periphery and lighter in the centre. 

See…Chrono Hunter is not solely about the best possible prices when you buy or sell a watch. We are also a fountain of horological knowledge as we like to keep you devoted readers on your toes.

The Laureato Green Ceramic Aston Martin is perhaps the greenest watch ever released from their stable! 

Sized at 42mm, the models feature the iconic octagonal bezel atop a green, barrel shaped ceramic case which is brushed and given polished elements. This adheres to the luxury sports watch styling that was popularised in the 1970s on The Gerald Genta inspired Audemars Piguet Royal Oak and Patek Philippe Nautilus.

Offering 100 metres of water resistance, they have a thickness of 11mm and are completely green, right from the case to dial. The face features a narrow lattice style aesthetic which enhances the applied markers and hands which are given a generous dose of Super-Luminova. 

At 3 o’clock is a handy date aperture and along the black flange is a white minute track. Put down your Porsche for a second. The dials background is actually inspired by the Aston Martin seats which shows the depth of the collab. 

Powered by the GP01800 beating at 4Hz, the automatic movement offers a 54 hour power reserve and can be examined through the brilliant exhibition caseback. Therefore, since it's locked onto a completely green ceramic strap, we recommend you adorn this with a green sports or bomber jacket that will turn heads wherever you are on the move.

Designed out of pink gold, the Code 11:59 Selfwinding Flying Tourbillon  measures 41mm x 11.8mm thick. Given a thorough polish across the bezel, lugs and case sides which are brushed, this follows the circular case design of the past, while it utilises black ceramic within the middle of the case to add an extra level of depth. 

The eyes are instantly drawn into the watches’ dial which is composed of enamelled aventurine. How is this effect produced? Made from crushed green aventurine glass and enamel, the material is made in a kiln by being heated at various high temperatures which allows it to be both transparent and have an extraordinary level of depth. 

Given a smoked effect that graduates from black on the periphery to green in the centre, it allows the inner bezel to be seamless with the black edging and the rose gold Arabic numerals and baton markers to clearly appeal. Having 30 metres of water resistance is a pretty poor figure but this is a highly complex watch. 

Given a skeletonised flying tourbillon at 6 o’clock, the watches are fitted with a double-curved sapphire crystal that prioritises legibility over anything else. Powered by the movement 2950, it runs at 3Hz and has a 65 hour power reserve. 

Attached to a black rubber strap, you can adorn this beauty with a blue strap or grey overcoat depending on your mood and attire,

Just like the rest of the Traditionnelle family, this variation features a few notable characteristics that have been constants throughout the line. A poor water resistance rating of 30 metres is just the only critical element!

Looking to buy a Vacheron Constantin or need further inspiration? How about our feature on the Vacheron Constantin Traditionnelle Tourbillon.

Boasting a 38mm, 18K rose gold stepped case with a polished bezel, the lugs are kept on the straight and narrow for optimal style. Furthermore, there is a minute railway track in white that runs around the periphery of the dial. 

At 7.7mm thick, they are exceptionally thin timepieces which is a huge plus for the gentleman that enjoys wining and dining while flexing his new wrist companion. 

Given a sunburst green dial finish, this olive type shade allows light to be displayed throughout, promoting every element of the face in either a light green or darker sheen. Fitted with pink gold hour markers and Dauphine hands, the Traditionnelle is fitted with a small seconds counter at 6 o’clock for a little added complication. 

Flip the watch over to expose a stunning exhibition caseback, revealing the ornate 4400 AS movement. Given bevelled bridges alongside Côtes de Genève and circular finishing, the 2.8mm movement runs at 28,800VpH and is rounded off with a 65 hour power reserve. 

Connected to a dark green leather strap, we envisage you adorning this beauty with a cream jacket or navy blue jumper for that extra touch of class.

Following the “circle in a square” style design which essentially has a circular dial within a squared case, this 42mm steel powerhouse has for us a very large 14.2mm thickness. Aside from its bulbous build, it undergoes a satin-brushed and polished aesthetic finish which gives it maximum style points. 

Fitted with 4 screws at either corner of the case, the pushers and crown are slightly depressed in order to keep this bad boy looking razor sharp with each side flowing with the curved lugs. 

Given a screw down crown, the 100 metre water resistance ensures this can be worn in the shower and while enjoying a gentle paddle in your sun-kissed pool…or waving from the veranda. 

Given a dark green dial, it features a sunny aesthetic to allow light to be displayed across the silver toned baton hour markers and the hands. Oh yes, all of which are filled with lume!

Given chronograph counters which totals a 30 minute counter at 3 o’clock and a 60 minute counter at 9 o’clock, they do have a lot of functionality behind them. Powered by the BR-CAL.301, the watch offers a 60 hour power reserve and beats at 28,800VpH or 4Hz.

Fitted with an integrated steel bracelet, these watches would look great against a navy suit or a simple green chequered shirt if you feel like flaunting.

This edition is sized at 42mm of Oyster steel and retains all the features of the classic Sky-Dweller that have been around since the original release in 2012. Measuring 13.8mm, this watch is jam packed with a range of useful functions that makes it so desirable to travellers and collectors. 

Fitted with a twinlock crown and screw down caseback, they have a water resistance of around 100 metres. Not quite the Submariner, but good enough! Fitted with a white gold

a fluted bezel that is in tandem with the steely shades of the case. Complete with a Ring Command system, essentially, this bi-directional bezel entitles you to adjust the date, local time or second time zone via a few small adjustments. 

The dial itself is given a soft green shade which is extremely rare among Rolex timepieces. This is in contrast to the overly worked shade found on the sought after 36mm Datejust Palm with its unusual visuals. 

Working with a simple silver colour scheme, the gentle shade is the perfect addition to the understated feel of the Sky-Dweller. Given a 24 hour off centre disc to read the second time zone, the general time is read through baton hour markers on the main dial. 

There is a date aperture at 3 o’clock which is visible through a Cyclops eye. There is also a SAROS calendar which can differentiate between 30 and 31 days, requiring just one adjustment for leap years.

Powered by the Movement 9002, this Superlative Chronometer certified watch allows you to receive a 72 hour power reserve and a -2/+2 second per day variation. Linked onto a steel bracelet, we can see you pulling this off with a burgundy jumper or camel overcoat.

Crafted out of 18K 5N rose gold, these 41mm x 14.5mm watches are slightly thick which is pretty acceptable given that this is a pilots watch, prioritising legibility at all costs. Capable of offering 100 metres of water resistance, they are ideal accompaniments for the adventurous gent or those seeking wanderlust. 

IWC is all about legibility. And this doesn’t disappoint either. The green dial has a sunray brushed finish which allows the white Arabic numerals to clearly stand out, alongside the sword shaped hands which are filled with lume. 

Incorporating triple chronograph functionality, including small seconds, 30-minute and 12 hour counters, there is a handy day-date aperture situated at 3 o’clock. 

The back reveals an exhibition caseback that shows the movement 69385. With a 46 hour power reserve and 28,800VpH, this robust chronograph is strong enough to work with your lifestyle. 

Attached with a green rubber strap that features an EasX Change system, these watches would look great alongside a blue suit shirt or dressed down white T-shirt.

Crafted at 43mm, these steel timepieces are made from the iconic asymmetrical case that has defined the entire Seamaster line. Around 14.1mm in thickness, these are not small which is unfortunate for something that could easily be paired with a black suit when trying to nail those big corporate deals.

However, you are guaranteed 150 metres of water resistance which is confirmed via the screw down crown and caseback. Good trade off? We think so! The dial is made up of golden tooth shaped hour markers and hands, all of which are given a sizable coating of lume. There is an extra GMT hand which links in with the dual time functionality resonating here.

Fitted with a small date aperture at 6 o’clock, the signature aspect is the travelling function that's enabled through a world map in the centre of the dial. Designed through laser-ablating continents and colours, the map is shown from the perspective of the North Pole. This works in conjunction with a 24 hour disc that surrounds the map. 

Around the periphery is a city ring which relates to all the major time zones. Of course, London is highlighted, not because Omega are huge England football fans, but because that actually resembles Greenwich Mean Time. 

Powered by the Movement 8938, the watches feature a 25,200 VpH and a 60 hour power reserve. Fitted with a silicon balance spring, they are Master Chronometer certified.

2023 marked the 60th anniversary of the Carrera collection, prompting The TAG Heuer Carrera Chronograph to be released with 44mm of horological greatness. But where did it receive its oh so famous title?

It was inspired by the Carrera Panamericana race which took a variety of cars on a border-to-border racing event throughout Mexico. You’d be right in thinking this is exceptionally similar to the Mille Miglia and Targa Florio event in Italy. 

It’s built out of brushed steel and fitted with a brushed steel bezel and green ceramic tachymetric insert. At 15mm thick, these timepieces offer a proud contrast to the typically grey and black dials. Providing 100 metres of water resistance, it ensures both security and top notch durability. 

Given a rich green shade, the dial layout remains consistent with previous Carrera models, including a tri-compax layout such as a date aperture at 6 o’clock and chronograph functions like a 30-minute counter, 12-hour counter and small seconds counter. These are located at 3,9 and 6 o’clock. 

Powered by the Movement Heuer 02, the 80 hour power reserve is a beast for those gents who want to buy a watch with horological horsepower. This sits beside a 28,800VpH or 4Hz beat.

Decked out onto a green rubber strap, we feel this would look great with a grey sports jacket or purple polo shirt.

As the name tag suggests, these steel watches are incredibly large at 46.2mm and around 15.4mm thick. Benefitting from brushing alongside polished along certain elements like the bezel. 

There is a large, knurled crown which is screwed in like the caseback. This entitles you to 60 metres of water resistance which isn’t great, but this is an aviation piece first and foremost. 

Given a forest green dial with a sunray brushed finish, notice the large Arabic numerals and hands which are all filled with luminescence. There’s lots going on with four subdials including a moon phase at 12 o’clock, date and power reserve at 3 o’clock, month at 6 o’clock as well as a day and small seconds at 9 o’clock. 

Is the dial cluttered with all these functions? Not at all. Evenly spaced out, designed and meticulously thought through,the text and numbers are very legible across the piece which is their forte. There is even a year counter that's made up of 4 reels based at 7 o’clock. 

Powered by the Movement 52615, the IWC Big Pilot Perpetual Calendar has a fantastic 7 day power reserve alongside a steady rate of 28,800VpH. We recommend you wear this with a tan jacket to boast the green rubber strap.

Inspired by the original 1917 Tank, based on Renault F-17 machines in World War One, the notable aesthetic features such as the brancard inspired, rectangular shape and smooth finishes are all present in the current Cartier Louis Tank. 

Yielding a somewhat meh 30 metres of water resistance, you won’t be windsurfing or sailing in a hurry. But it should be good enough to wear when getting a tad soapy in the bath. 

Given a miniscule thickness of 6.6mm and a case diameter of 33.7mm they are crafted out of yellow gold which boasts the ultimate luxury of the watch. Fitted with a blue sapphire cabochon that’s a trademark of the Tank, the models are minimalist and suitable for evening wear or post work drinks. Yes, it may have poor water resistance but this is combated with its suave design. 

Given a healthy green lacquer that promotes the legibility of the dial, including gold hands and Cartier text at 12 o’clock, there are no hour markers or other features which may clog up the simplistic face. This is easily an Emmy grade timepiece! 

Powered by the Movement 1917 MC which offers a 3Hz and a modest 38 hour power reserve, these watches are unfortunately not able to be seen through the solid gold caseback. Nevertheless, we appreciate their quality anyway.

Fitted onto a green alligator leather strap, this Tank is affixed to an 18K gold ardillon buckle which you can accentuate against a navy suit or with a standard cream polo shirt for the ultimate in high end allure.

For this latest edition, released at Watches and Wonders 2024, these green dial timepieces tip the case diameter scales at sub 40mm (39mm to be precise). Crafted out of 18K yellow gold, the models are luxurious and represent a dressier deviation from the classical sporty timepiece. 

Utilising a satin-brushed finish, this entitles the 200 metre water resistant Black Bay 58 to look smart under a shirt cuff, especially as they have a thickness of 12.7mm. Slim pickings indeed but there is now a tendency for top Swiss brands to promote thinner timepieces. 

The sapphire exhibition caseback is a handy addition to users who want to be able to gaze lovingly at the movement. On top there is a bulbous unidirectional bezel which features a 60 minute scale on an anodised aluminium insert. This works well with the equally green dial offering a sense of regalness.

Made up of those all too familiar snowflake Tudor hands (another classic brand reference!),  the hour markers are composed of baton and dot numerals. All of the above is given a good dose of luminova with exceptional legibility. 

Within the precious metal beauty, enthusiasts will find the Calibre MT5400. With a 70 hour power reserve and COSC certification, it entitles these watches to longevity and a high level of quality. Some may call it a chunk of gold that BA Barakus might adorn but we don’t pity any fool who might want to pick the most expensive Tudor of all time.

Totalling 42.5mm, the 5N pink gold case is a perfect size for those looking for a durable timepiece, but with a material that's ultra luxurious. With a 12.67mm thickness, the watches are polished along the Maltese bezel, the brand's emblem with a brushed finish along the lugs and integrated bracelet. 

Alongside the pink gold case, the British Racing green dial is given a distinct tinge, as opposed to the previous olive accent on the Traditionnelle. 

The darker sheen and sunburst finish allows the rose gold baton hour markers and hands to clearly stand out, just like the gold hands on each of the three chronograph subdials at 3, 6 and 9 o’clock. These total a 30-minute counter, 12 hour counter and a small seconds counter respectively.

These have circular, snail type patterns to differentiate from the sunburst finish of the main dial. Don’t forget the handy date aperture residing between 4 and 5 o’clock! Expect a 52 hour power reserve as provided by the Calibre 5200.

And of course we had to drop in one of their best green dials from this illustrious collection. As worn by Prince William for over three decades, gifted to him by Princess Diana, this revamped Omega Seamaster Diver 300m is sized at 42mm and comes in a stainless steel case. The general design is very in tune with the rest of the collection.

The asymmetrical lugs with their chamfered edges, contrast well with the brushed bracelet and case tops. Durability is certainly maintained thanks to the 300 metre water resistance. 

The bezel on top retains its classic dive watch capability, including a 60-minute scale with lume dot at 12 o’clock, while there is a deep green ceramic insert which works well with the green dial. 

The white hour markers are highly contrasting and come in dot and baton form with a generous dose of Super-Luminova for good measure. This is the case with the hands which are skeletonised and have lume tips. 

Under the bonnet is the Omega 8800 calibre, offering a 55 hour power reserve. The self-winding calibre is Master Chronometer certified which confirms the longevity and quality of the movement.

The Chopard L.U.C XPS Forest Green utilises a 40mm rose gold case and has 30m (3 ATM) of water resistance. With a thickness of around 7.20mm thick, the timepieces are very ergonomic and can slip under shirt cuffs seamlessly. Given a mirror polished aesthetic on the bezel and lugs, the watches are expertly finished.

Fitted with a sapphire crystal, the legibility is phenomenal, especially since this green dial has a deep forest shade. You won’t be wandering in the woods looking for the time with this thing on. 

The sunburst finish allows the silvery baton hour markers and syringe hands to clearly stand out. Fitted with a recessed small seconds sundial at 6 o’clock, this adds another dimension of accuracy. They are based in a ring on the periphery of the dial, and have interjecting minute scales running between them. 

Lying within is the high-powered L.U.C Calibre 96.12-L which offers a weekend-proof 65 hour power reserve. Chronometer certified, we like its reliability, especially since they utilise double barrel technology to ensure consistent power, no matter what time of day it is..

With it being a flagship for exciting timepieces like the White Birch SLGA009 (released back in 2023), Watches and Wonders 2024 has set the scene for an entirely different theme…

Best Place To Buy A Luxury Watch  Best Place To Sell A Luxury Watch

Measuring 40mm  x 11.7mm thick of Ever Brilliant steel, this is Grand Seiko’s play on the classic material. It’s both stronger and offers a better lustre. Finished well with their signature Zaratsu polish, this runs across the entire brushed bezel and contrasting polished lugs. 

Capable of dealing with 100 metres of water resistance, the timepieces blur the line well between dressy design and desirable strength to match the Hulk.

For the green dial, Grand Seiko opt for a theme that's derived from the quiet landscapes of the Genbi Valley. Yes, as much as they love their conveyor belt of releases, they do have a penchant for Japanese nature.

This references the valley near Iwai River which is close to the GS Studio Shizukuishi. It’s noted for boasting a range of plants and wildlife that float above and around the turquoise waters. To attain such a serene setup, the timepieces utilise a brilliant Oriental painting technique called, Kirazuri. 

This entitles the light green dials to have a glossy effect, attained through light engravings and a sunburst shine through the centre. 

Fitted with 3D faceted hour markers, they are made up of two batons per hour and 3 at 12 o’clock. The sword shaped hands and dark blue second hand are equally visible, while the date aperture at 3 o’clock has a high contrast white dial for visibility.

Within the timepieces skips away the 9SA5 calibre. The 9S Calibre on its own accord is exceptionally important. Requiring a 17 day testing process, they are meticulously built and offer exceptional accuracy levels. 

Yielding a phenomenal 80 hour power reserve, they beat at a rapid 5Hz which showcases its powerful accuracy and immense longevity. For us this would be one of our best green dial picks from this particular brand.

With a limited edition run of 1,000 pieces, you can buy a Grand Seiko SLGH021 at retail for £9,750 as of April 2024.

The Concept line from H.Moser & Cie is perpetuated with minimalism, but with a sporting edge that allows the pieces to be adorned outside of a boardroom. 

For this 2024 model, the Pioneer Centre Seconds Concept Citrus Green, potential wearers are treated to a journey from the Oris Kermit at Watches and Wonders 2023. Only this time with a more tasteful, and arguably greener alternative.

Upon first glance, the 42.8mm diameter is fundamentally used for durability. Crafted out of steel, the models are around 10.6mm thick which will not sit in our view too heavy on the wrist. 

We would’ve preferred titanium, but steel is still a good bet as it’s polished thoroughly on the bezel and the lugs. Meanwhile, the sapphire crystal across the top is domed which enhances legibility, and boosts the thickness to around 14.2mm. 

The domed sapphire crystal is a funky aesthetic, but the guys at Chrono Hunter HQ are a little confused. What are we trying to enhance the visibility of? The lime green dial boasts a fumé finish which gives a citrusy yellow centre, increasing in intensity to a light green periphery. 

However, all that remains are three hands, totalling the hours, minutes and the seconds, with the hour and minutes having a Super-Luminova coated centre. Remember, one of our best pink dial watches is the TAG Heuer Carrera Date which is another three handed wonder. Yet that has a date aperture, while Moser keeps this green dial as clean as a whistle. And no bells either!

Keen horophiles will know that this is actually a key component of the Concept line, with emphasis being placed on the dial finish as opposed to optimal readability. In fact, they present a bright white flange with a Super-luminova coating to allow the green to be present even in the darkest of conditions. 

Within the timepieces lies the HMC 201 movement which provides a 21,600VpH alongside an impressive 3 day power reserve. Keep it subtle with chinos and a polo or be daring and with a silky Hawaiian shirt for those lazy summer days by the pool.

You can buy a H.Moser & Cie Pioneer Centre Seconds Concept Citrus Green at retail for around £12,780 as of May 2024.

Totalling 42mm x 10.68mm, the timepiece is crafted out of rose gold which offers a luxurious slant. While this inevitably raises the prices past the cost of steel models, the material is highly regarded due to its precious metal qualities and gorgeous lustre. 

Its 50 metre water resistance isn’t great, but it’s enough to qualify the pieces as splash and waterproof resistant. For these gorgeous green dials, they opt for a Clous de Paris aesthetic across a sage green background. Fitted with a distinguishable satin minute ring, the rose gold hour markers and hands are fully coated with luminescence. 

A handy date aperture at 3 o’clock is the icing on the horological cake for this functional and everyday timepiece. Pulsating within, you will find the GP1800 which provides a 4Hz alongside a decent 54 hour power reserve. 

Visible through the sapphire caseback, the movement is given bevelled bridges alongside circular stripes that are present across the rose gold oscillating rotor. Attached to a rose gold bracelet, this would look ideal against a navy suit or in your slicked back grey chinos. 

You can buy a Girard-Perregaux Laureato 42mm at retail for around £47,000 as of May 2024.

The Willy Wonka of watches, Hublot has always acted like the outsiders of the horological world. This is largely in part down to their use of wacky materials that have created a buzz.

As the first brand to bring rubber to precious metals and push forward ceramic in the industry, the Big Bang was introduced in 2005 and has since become a huge player in the brands portfolio.

In April 2024, another contender for best green dial saw Hublot release two riveting models, totalling an orange and a dark green ceramic play on the Big Bang UNICO line. We think it has a slight similarity to the Big Bang UNICO Nespresso Origin, but more of a lighter green tone.

The watches are around average for a luxury sports watch. We’re talking a 42mm case diameter sitting alongside a 14.5mm thickness. However, the use of ceramic allows the watches to be around 4 times more scratch resistant than steel and much lighter.

On to the case which is made up of two pushers beside the crown at 3 o’clock. There is also a large bumper on the other side. The bezel features the legendary 6-screw design that's thoroughly polished throughout. 

The dial is technically openworked, however there are green elements such as the stencil shaped Arabic numerals around the dial, edging of the hands and the dual subdial counters at 3 and 9 o’clock. 

The two subdials equate to a 60-minute chronograph counter at 3 o’clock (with accompanying date aperture) and a small seconds sub-dial at 9 o’clock. While the hour markers and hands may appear skeletonised, they are actually coated with black luminova which works well in tandem with the blackened movement. 

Inside of the ceramic case is the in-house HUB1280 calibre which runs at 4Hz and is rounded off with a solid 72 hour power reserve. Visible through the sapphire caseback, the movement features a blackened oscillating rotor. 

Capped at 250 pieces, you can buy a Hublot Big Bang UNICO Dark Green Ceramic at retail for £20,700 as of May 2024.

Conclusion

We hope you found something you like in our rundown of the best green dial watches. A fantastic alternative to standard matte black models, if you are wearing your brand new jacket and hitting a few bars in Kensington, we recommend something confident and proud like the Blancpain Villeret Traditional Chinese Calendar. 

However, if understated charm and quiet elegance is the route you must take to stand out, we would go with the Cartier Louis Tank with its minimalist lacquer dial and precious metal construction. 

Luckily for you horophiles, this definitive list covers all manner of budgets, styles and personalities to help get you suited and booted. Whether looking for entry level status or something a little more expensive, we are confident in our horological veins that there is a timepiece for every type of gent on this rundown.

We would be remiss if we failed to mention a few other honourable mentions that didn’t make the cut on our best green dial hitlist. How about Patek Philippe’s ref 5905P which is worn by legendary UFC fighter, Conor McGregor. 

With bright mint green dials, this platinum novelty is capped at just 25 watches and is made specially for Weir & Sons Jewellers in Dublin. You may need the luck of the Irish to bag one.

Valued at around £450,000, it features gold applied hour markers and annual calendar chronograph functionality, making this a highly luxurious and very functional watch. 

So, if you find yourself clapping eyes on CEO’s, corporate bigwigs or bumping into Grammy winners on the red carpet (if you snagged an invite), Chrono Hunter guarantees these dials are the perfect addition to up your wrist game.
