I guess they are here to stay as the brands have learned to use the various shades of the color green to produce some very attractive watches.
As it happens,I have accumulated a few green dial watches into my collection over the last years and each one has a different personality....and type of green.



You want green ?
Then there is the all green ceramic GP Laureato with its "Aston Martin green" : in real life more subtle than pictures would suggest!



The Breitling Top Time Mustang "Capsule" : a vivid metallic green inspired by car painting.



Nomos calls this color "petrol" : a good description for this green color with a hint of blue.



Green,diver and bronze : a very attractive combination for me.
And the Rado Capt'n Cook is for me one of the best vintage inspired divers out there !!



Green is the color associated with Rolex : this olive green DD 40 is a very elegant interpretation of the color green.



And the "Forest green" color of the Chopard LUC XPS is classy and versatile at the same time.



So how about you?
What green dial color watches do you have ?

Best,
Gerard

...but I'm banking on purple becoming the next big thing! I'm on the road though so I can't post an overview of all my purple watches.... EDIT, sorry that is silly, of course I have a green watch, I just posted about it this week, but it was just returned to me. Doh! Schwarz Etienne

I love both of these examples. Others may be a trend.

Nevertheless, the "green hype" and "me too green" of the manufacturers will calm down to some degree, I assume, they will launch other colors to try (yellow, purple, red?), as they did when they launched salmon dials a few years ago. IMO, the manufacurers have got to get appealing colors/shades of green to convince consumers. It's a hard color to please. One example that I personally don't find appealing is the the Rolex green Skydweller. I was excited to take a look at it in the metal. Unfortun
