We tried quite hard not to produce an article about green dial watches, but the lure is irresistible. We also understand how ridiculous it must sound to you, dear readers - we could have just ignored the trend entirely instead of going to all the trouble of presenting it here. Not only that, by choosing to open with a cautionary note, we are either undercutting our own story or washing our hands of any responsibility. It all seems a bit dramatic and unseemly for a visually driven story about green dials, if we do say so ourselves.
The trend remains very strong with such timepieces crossing price ranges and stylistic categories. Everyone from WatchPro to WatchTime has devoted pages to this in the last 12 months. Of course, editors, collectors and specialists have their own favourites, and maybe that will be the most relevant take-away from this story. From what we have seen so far in 2020, the most impressive offering is the Grand Seiko Elegance Mechanical Thin Dress SBGW264.
