Blue first appeared, but watchmakers have a new muse: green dials, which can now be found on dressy vintage reissues, modern sports watches, and all in-between timepieces. There is no single green, sure, but whether it’s khaki, olive, forest or that seemingly specific British racing car hue, it’s a color that effortlessly gives watches a feeling of natural elegance and soothing. Here are six cool – but not flashy – options worthy of your wrist.
