As summer quietly approaches, a touch of fresh green becomes the best choice for your wrist. Green not only symbolizes vitality, but also exudes the harmonious resonance of nature. Wearing a green watch, whether you are on vacation at the beach or strolling in the city, you can always feel the purity and beauty of nature.
Vacheron Constantin – Overseas Chronograph
Vacheron Constantin
Overseas Chronograph
Green Ocean
Overseas is a classic series of sports and leisure styles under Vacheron Constantin. It is also a model of high waterproof and anti-magnetic performance in the watch industry. This year, the collection introduces four models with dark green dials for the first time. All four new watches are made of pink gold. Among them, the green dial with gold-plated design is the most eye-catching, and it also provides male users with novel color options besides black, white and blue.
The central area of the dial is brushed with a sunburst satin finish, while the outer edge has a velvety texture and is covered with translucent glazed paint to create a subtle sense of layering. The golden hour markers and hands are coated with Super-LumiNova®, which contrasts sharply with the deep tone of the dial and makes reading clearer.
The watch is also equipped with a delicate screw-down crown, and the back of the watch is inlaid with a sapphire crystal transparent case back, showing the exquisite craftsmanship of the internal movement. Each watch is equipped with an automatic movement with an 18K pink gold rotor. The dial design of the diamond-set watch is unique, with a single-layer minute scale circle, while other models adopt a double-layer design with lighter colors, which is convenient for reading minutes and seconds. The exquisite bezel is divided into two layers. The bottom layer adopts a circular design, while the upper layer incorporates the shape of a Maltese cross, making it closer to the design of the original "222" watch.

Datograph Perpetual Tourbillon Honeygold LUMEN
Green Light Meets Honey Gold
A. Lange & Söhne's Lumen watch series combines translucent dials with luminous creativity. The newly launched Datograph Perpetual Tourbillon Honeygold LUMEN also continues this style. It is not only the sixth Lumen limited edition watch, but also the second one that combines the brand's patented 18K honey gold. It is equipped with a translucent dial made of sapphire crystal glass and is limited to 50 pieces worldwide.
As the name suggests, the Datograph Perpetual Tourbillon has three major functions: the "Datograph" flyback chronograph, which can be stopped and reset to zero with one click; the "Perpetual" instantaneous perpetual calendar, with a moon phase display that differs by only one day every 122.6 years; and the "Tourbillon" one-minute tourbillon with a stop-seconds device. Each of these three complex functions represents a technical innovation and challenge. At the same time, Lange also allows these complex functions to blend harmoniously on the dial and conceive a neatly laid out and clear surface.
The dial is an equilateral triangle with a large date display and sub-dials. On the left are the small seconds, day of the week, and day and night display, on the right are the precise jumping minute and integral dial, month and leap year display, and the moon phase is displayed at 6 o'clock. The overall design is harmonious and clear. The transparent dial is coated with luminous coating, which emits a charming green light at night.

A touch of red amidst the green
Cartier's Santos-Dumont series watches are famous for their simple geometric lines. Following the launch of the elegant lacquered model in 2022, the brand once again released a new Santos-Dumont watch. Unlike the more subdued tones of 2022, the new Santos-Dumont watch features a metallic olive green, and the translucent lacquered dial is brushed with a sunburst satin finish to create a striking shimmering effect.
It is equipped with a 430 MC movement, which is designed for hour and minute display. The movement operates at a frequency of 21,600 times per hour and has a power reserve of approximately 38 hours. The watch has a diameter of 31.5 mm, a length of 43.5 mm and a thickness of only 7.3 mm. The colored lacquer extends from the dial to the bezel, which is decorated with eight exposed screws and is carefully hand-polished to reveal a smooth and delicate surface. The lacquer is also cleverly embedded within the case borders, perfectly showcasing the smooth, rounded geometric design of Santos-Dumont.
The railway-style minute scale circle, sword-shaped hour and minute hands, and rubies set in a platinum case are also one of the brand's iconic designs. The dial of the new watch no longer uses Roman numerals, but is replaced by Arabic numerals, and the design is full of artistic style. The size and curve of the Arabic numerals also echo the rounded outline of the watch. The watch is equipped with an olive green matte alligator leather strap and a platinum pin buckle, and is limited to 200 pieces worldwide.

Parmigiani Fleurier
Toric Petite Second
Sky blue waiting for misty rain
In 2024, Parmigiani Fleurier decided to bring back the brand’s classic, the Toric series, and reinterpret it under the skillful hands of the current CEO Guido Terreni. The Toric Petite Seconde retains the iconic features of the original, such as the classic knurled bezel. The exterior design has been completely revamped to incorporate and perfectly present the same minimalist aesthetics as the Tonda PF series, such as the oval simplified brand logo and shorter faceted hour markers.
The dial is embellished with exquisite hand-made patterns and is paired with a fine nubuck alligator leather strap. The strap is hand-sewn using the "punto a mano" technique, and feels soft and delicate, showing luxury and taste. The hour hand adopts an exquisite willow-leaf design, while the six o'clock position is equipped with a small second dial and hands with delicate and simple lines. In addition, the watch’s 18K white gold dial presents a unique hue called “Grey Celadon”. This color combines the characteristics of fresh mint green and Morandi color. It has a low saturation and a slight gray tone, similar to the celadon color in classical Chinese aesthetics, perfectly showcasing the brand's unique color aesthetics.
