It’s funny you mention it. Blue is my favorite color but green is my favorite color on a watch dial. I’ve never thought of why, great video!

(Red dials are pretty sweet too though)

Man, that SEIKO Alpinist Bamboo really pops. Gorgeous watch!

Green is my favorite color and I really like it on watches but I often find it difficult to combine with outfits. On the other hand I always try to remind myself that a watch doesn't necessarily need to be color matched but can also be the eye-catcher of your outfit. Wearing every outfit with a "signature watch" like that light green SEIKO would be kinda cool as well.

I went into this video thinking green watches don‘t look good on me, but I‘ll humor you. So far I could appreciate green dials in images and on other people, but they just weren’t for me. Your video unblocked something in my brain and now I crave a green watch.

Just picked up the green Longines Legend Diver 39 - excited to add some pop to the collection

Just picked up a Seiko PROSPEX ALPINIST SBDC091 / SPB121J1 (Green), really enjoying it. One of my favorite colors is Blue, but try to have different colors in my collection. Like your Seiko 5 watch with Day/Date and Minute/Hour on dial.

I get a green version of just about everything I buy that has a green option. It looks so good on a watch. I 💚 green too!

[deltapi]

I’m so obsessed, nearly everything I own has to be green. What do you think of the green Orient Kamasu?

I just picked up a seiko presage mojito cocktail for my green fix.

I love bold colors (like orange (and deep purple) and subtle colors (like lavender and gray).
That said I find Kelly green on a watch is spectacular. I LOVE my green Oris Aquis.
Bright, lime green is also insanely happy and fun (to me anyway).
That said, green is the safest color for those who stick to a basic color palette.
For me the right shade of green, be it a watch or sweater or whatever pops.

My favorite shade of green dial is that emerald green on that IWC Mark XX. So classy but interesting.

I’ve been in love with green recently!

Oh and you should ad a brown strap to you green watches, brown strap and green dial just make the dial pop and look beautiful, especially with field and pilot watches with a Nato or MN brown strap

Great video. Love seeing different perspectives. That’s what hobbies are all about!

[JohnnyBeans-wk]

I gave my mint green oyster bracelet Rolex 41 mm to my son. It was my first Rolex watch and I wanted to share the beauty of that beautiful dial

[ahojnazdar]

You are right. It is something magical on my green Seiko SPB207J1...something special over general watches with black dial.

[sufiveritas]

Black dial is my number one, but I have a green vintage reinterpretation seiko 5 with golden elements. I love it

[TitoCanuso]

My favorite colors are blue and green. I have two green watches, so let’s talk about them. I have a Breitling Superocean Heritage ll in emerald green on a mesh bracelet, and the Oris Aquis in forest green on a black rubber strap. As you mentioned, they’re both strap monsters, excluding blue straps. They’re different watches, the Breitling is more classy, and the Oris is sportier. I love these two watches, they always look great with whatever I’m wearing. Your video was awesome, keep them coming!

[gaius]

Intriguing video. I have been drawn for blue dials in the past for the same reasons - a versatile colour that matches my wardrobe. But I am currently looking for a watch with some green on the dial!

Green is the best color ever. And yea i absolute agree. Grene is almost as versatile as Black, White, or Gray, yet adds flare. Grene can be reserved and muted and it can be bold and radiant as well. Perfect for watches. Especially sun dials
