This season, green is the magic color for the watchmaking industry. Check out our selection of noteworthy timepieces with distinctive green dials.
Perfect Contrast: Patek Philippe Nautilus 5711/1A-014
Earlier this year, Patek Philippe announced that the crowd-favorite Ref. 5711/1A in stainless steel was to be discontinued. At the same time, the brand also unveiled a new iteration
of the cult model with an olive-green dial—a hue that basically never existed before in the Nautilus collection. This elegant shade is emphasized with a gentle sunburst finish that harmonizes with the light reflected from the steel case, enhancing the design with a contemporary facet. More importantly, it also assures legibility at any time of day or night, creating a perfect contrast against the luminescent hands and hour markers in white gold.

The Unmissable Green: Audemars Piguet Royal Oak “Jumbo” Extra-Thin
Audemars Piguet revealed the first-ever platinum Royal Oak “Jumbo” with a smoked green dial earlier this year, alongside a handful of other Royal Oak watches as part of a collection of green-themed versions. Aesthetically, this new model is framed by a 950-platinum case and bracelet. Moreover, its smoked green sunburst dial comes with a clean, bright green in the center that turns into almost black at the edges. Intriguingly, despite the name “Jumbo,” the watch measures just 39mm in diameter and 8.1mm in thickness for a super slim silhouette.

Elegant Simplicity: Cartier Tank Must
Faithful to the spirit of the 1980s, the new Tank Must watch from Cartier is available in three monochromatic colors that are embedded into Cartier’s DNA: red, blue and green. Aesthetically, these steel watches that favor minimalist dials come with no Roman numerals or “rail-tracks,” a fully chromatic look with matching straps and also a blue synthetic spinel cabochon on the crown. All things considered, as a watchmaking classic from the maison whose sophistication is measured on every level, this is a watch that dares to return to great classicism down to the smallest detail.

Special Homage: Breitling Top Time Classic Cars Ford Mustang
A short while ago, Breitling showcased its latest capsule collection titled Top Time Classic Cars which was inspired by three icons of American car culture: The Chevrolet Corvette, the Shelby Cobra, and the Ford Mustang. The green and brown Top Time Ford Mustang version is inspired by a car developed in record time back in 1964, sparking a new genre of compact and affordable sports cars. Design-wise, this racing chronograph is a nod to the original 1960s Breitling Top Time models. Beneath the dial, the watch houses the COSC- certified Breitling Caliber 25, a self-winding 1/8th of a second chronograph movement with a power reserve of about 42 hours.

Colorful Variation: Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso Tribute Small Seconds
Over the decades, the Reverso from Jaeger-LeCoultre has appeared with a variety of dials and different case sizes, without ever compromising the integrity of the original design. On that note, back in 2016, the brand returned to the stylistic codes of the original 1931 model to create a series of Tribute models. This year, recalling the early use of color that distinguished the Reverso, La Grande Maison introduced the Reverso Tribute Small Seconds in Green. The rich tone of the sunray-brushed lacquer dial and matching leather strap is reminiscent of the deep green of the pine forests that surround Jaeger-LeCoultre’s home in the Vallée de Joux.
