Green dial watches have evolved from rare novelties to highly desirable timepieces, reflecting broader trends in horology. Initially rare due to material limitations, green dials began appearing mid-20th century, especially in military watches where they provided camouflage benefits. The 1970s and 1980s saw a bold embrace of colour in watch design, with green symbolising nature and vitality.
During the pandemic era, a longing for nature seems to have reignited this trend, culminating in a diverse array of watches in natural tones. In recent years, green dials and cases have experienced a resurgence, driven by nostalgia, fashion trends, and advances in manufacturing techniques. Iconic models like the Rolex Submariner "Hulk", for example, blend heritage with classic design principles; though why stop there?
Easy to pair with the pastel-heavy men's wardrobes of the 2020s, here's a look at some of the finest dials in green that you'll spot across the modern horological landscape:
