So basically I've been wanting at least one piece with a green dial for a while now because it always reminds me of playing 8-ball billiards 🎱 with friends or nature. It's just one of those colors that definitely catches my eye. I'm counting all greens in for this purpose but dark green if possible would be best suited.

Pistachio Green Breitling dials :) breitling has also dark β€œtoxic” green dials

Or Grand Seiko has some great green Dials

Looking for something below 1000$, or 1000$ but I can try those second hand actually. Thanks

Best dark green dial under $1k is probably the Seiko Alpinist SPB121

Tissot Gentleman automatic comes in green. Great watch.

For forest green watches the seiko alpinist, the baby alpinist and the cocktail time mocha, citizen tsuyosa, orient tristar vega.

There are some olive green field watches from seiko like the snk805 or the srpe65, or the orient defender in a similar color or the citizen bn0157, aw1410, bj7100, or the Promaster Tough for something sportier.

Citizen nj0129. The new Citizen chalange diver automatic, bn0228, bn0155, or the field style bm8560.

When I hear green dial I think of Seiko Alpinist (SPB121).

the Blanka Version of the seiko streetfighter V series :) ~500€

love this dial :)

[–] 2_Spo0ky@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Sinn 104. Absolutely love mine and I've never seen another model with a metallic paint dial *

[–] TheArmoursmith@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

You mentioned you are looking in the sub-1000 USD range. I bought a Christopher Ward Trident 300 in green, and that looks great - they have a few other green options. It's also worth taking a look at some of Farer's offerings in green, especially their field watch and the new Tonneau.

Formex essence 39 or 43! The 39 has been my go to watch since its release :)

Budget watch-Citizen Pantone Peaceful Green

[–] cutgraslikebread@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Rolex hulk is a good option.

[–] thebestatheist@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

I’m about to sell one of mine, Seiko SPB349 with a green dial.

[–] hamburglerized@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Orient Kamasu in green

I mean this in a nice way. But definitely do a search and check out a few online watch stores.

I just did a filter for Green and under $1k and discovered a bunch of new watches myself.

[–] Smiths_fan137@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Gotcha. No offense taken btw!

[–] Anuj18@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Damn that's over $20k.

[–] WhiskeynWatches@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

I’ve been looking too. On a budget.

Oris Big Crown - out of my budget but hopefully some day Seiko Presage SRPE45 Seiko Alpinist SPB121J1 Glycine Airman GL0410 or GL0412 or GL0413 Glycine Combat Sub Sport 42 GL0318 - Oris Big Crown Vibes (leading contender for me)

[–] BluesMaster@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

CW C63 Sealander Automatic

Have a very close look at that 'Hunter Green' dial. I rest my case ;-)

[–] wolf-Lamb666@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

A little over 1k but you could get lucky on watch exchange and find a green dial Oris big crown pointer date!

Christopher Ward C63 Sealander GMT comes in green. I have it and it’s a great watch.

[–] yogibear60@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

I was looking at the green formex essence. I think its okay for the price

[–] widowlark@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Citizen Tsuyosa has a green dial

[–] Coyote-Loco@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago
[–] derping1234@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Depending on your pricepoint Seiko Sarb 017, Anordain Model 1 green FumΓ©, GlashΓΌtte Original sixties in green.

[–] efbitw@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

My time has come! Seiko SPB153! Not only does it have amazing history, the colour brings the green of seaweed, which makes this watch THE ultimate summer watch.

Probably not quite what you're looking for, but the green casioak has a surprisingly interesting dial character 😎

[–] sabboseb@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Oris Aquis β€” green dial is lovely

I just picked up an Orient Kamasu with the green face, in low light it almost looks black but in the sun it really pops.

[–] GeneralGangbang@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

I am eyeing with the Mido Ocean Star 200C currently. What about this? Also it has 80 hours power reserve with lower beat but man, 80 hours is great actually.

[–] No-Possibility4568@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

I will take any chance I’m given to recommend the Seiko Baby alpinist SPB155: Fits well under your $1k budget. (Pictured here on a colareb venezia leather strap)
