Celebrated each year on April 22, Earth Day is a chance to raise awareness about environmental issues and take action to support our natural environment. The first Earth Day was held in 1970 and was brought about by Senator Gaylord Nelson of Wisconsin. Now, 45 years later, the holiday has become a worldwide event with 193 participating nations.
Across the world, people participate in various environmentally friendly activities, including tree planting, neighborhood cleanups, and educational events. Many people also show their support by wearing Earth Day’s honorific color… you guessed it, green! Show your support for keeping the planet healthy and bettering the environment by accessorizing with a chic green watch this year. Plus, a timepiece with green accents or features is the perfect addition to your spring and summer wardrobe. Darker greens can also easily transition into fall and winter, and are perfect for the holiday season.
Today, we’re showcasing some of our favorite green watches that are currently in stock at Avi & Co. Plus, shopping at secondary market retailers is great for sustainability – in other words, you can showcase your values with a green watch and live them by making green choices. It doesn’t get better than that!
Hue by Avi & Co. Green Tsavorite Watch
Avi & Co.’s iconic Hue Collection launched in 2024, showcasing four unique timepieces that are completely decked out in precious gems. Within the collection, you’ll find a blue sapphire watch, a pink sapphire watch, a red ruby watch, and today’s pick… the green tsavorite watch. Green tsavorite is a durable and vibrant stone that is naturally mined in Kenya and Tanzania. While emerald is often the first stone people think of when searching for green precious gems, emeralds are actually not very durable and are not well-suited for high-touch jewelry like watches. Tsavorite offers the best of both worlds: incredibly durability and vibrant color. This exquisite timepiece is the perfect choice for Earth Day style that you can rock year-round.
Rolex Oyster Perpetual, Forest Green Dial
If you’re looking for a timepiece with a splash of green, the Rolex Oyster Perpetual line might just be the perfect choice. These gorgeous watches are often considered the quintessential entry-level Rolex timepieces, and they have been a staple of classy style for nearly 100 years now. Oyster Perpetual watches are more affordable than some other Rolexes you will see on the market, but they don’t compromise when it comes to letting your personality shine.
You can get your hands on Rolex Oyster Perpetual models with case sizes ranging from 31 mm on the low end to 41 mm on the high end, making them suitable for a diverse range of wrists and genders. Dial colors range from subtle tones like the forest green shown above and classics like silver or black to more vibrant hues, including coral red, marigold yellow, rosy pink, bold turquoise, and even a “Celebration” dial that showcases bubbles in all different colors. No matter what you have in mind, Avi & Co. has a Rolex Oyster Perpetual for you.
Patek Philippe Aquanaut, Green Dial and Strap
The Patek Philippe Aquanaut line is the sportier follow-up to the classic Nautilus collection, meant to appeal to a younger, more adventurous audience. These iconic watches showcase the cushion-shaped case and brushed bezel that evoke the original – but they depart from the Nautilus line by introducing larger case sizes and versatile “tropical” rubber straps. We love the green Aquanaut featured above, which ups the ante of luxury by showing off a diamond bezel.
In the years since its 1997 inception, the Aquanaut has cemented its place in the luxury watch world as a modern sports watch backed by the impeccable heritage of one of the world’s greatest watchmakers. The dial shows off highly legible Arabic numerals and an embossed “tropical” pattern. Whether you choose a piece that is embellished by diamonds, like the one above, or one with a simpler bezel, you’re sure to elevate your outfit with a timeless Aquanaut.
Richard Mille RM 07-04, Green Strap
Richard Mille watches are well known for their oversize, sporty aesthetics – but the RM 07-04 departs slightly from this trend with a more modestly sized case, clocking in at just 31 mm. Its unique look makes it a highly desirable member of the Richard Mille catalog, and it still shows off classic design elements from the brand, like an innovative skeletonized dial and a tonneau-shaped case with exposed screws on the bezel.
If you’re hoping to add a splash of green to your outfit, we love the comfortable textile strap on this watch. Its ultramarine green color is sure to stand out, and it matches the branding at the 12 o’clock position on the dial. This RM 07-04 is unlike any other piece you’ll see out there, so make sure to jump on it before it gets scooped up off our shelves!
Rolex Submariner, “Hulk” Edition
We would be remiss to talk about green watches without noting the Rolex Submariner “Hulk” edition. No, that’s not its technical name… this timepiece gained its nickname due to its totally greened-out dial and bezel, which reminded consumers of Marvel’s favorite green giant. We can’t promise wearing this watch will take you from Bruce Banner to the angry Avenger, but one thing is for sure: It’s the perfect accessory for Earth Day and beyond.
Like all Rolex Submariner pieces, this watch is water resistant to 300 meters (1,000 feet), making it perfect for day-to-day life as well as high performance adventures. The Submariner is a staple of Rolex’s professional lines, and it has long remained one of the brand’s best-selling collections. In other words, this timepiece is sure to be a strong investment.
Patek Philippe Cubitus, Olive Green Dial
Unveiled in 2024, the Patek Philippe Cubitus collection made waves as the first new Patek Philippe line in 25 years. The watch was originally released with a square case measuring 45 mm, making it a substantial size for any wrist. One of the three original references, this striking stainless steel Cubitus boasts a chic olive green dial that’s not too bright or distracting. Still, the olive green hues make for a timeless accessory that’s sure to become one of the holy grail pieces of your budding watch collection.
For any avid Patek Philippe fan or watch world purveyor in general, getting your hands on an original Cubitus watch is a major achievement. If you’re looking to add one of these geometric beauties to your collection, don’t hesitate to reach out to our expert team at Avi & Co. With our wealth of horological connections, we can help you find the Cubitus of your dreams.
Rolex Datejust, Green Index Dial
If you’re looking for a classic Rolex Datejust, this is just about as good as it gets. This striking stainless steel watch boasts the iconic Rolex fluted bezel, a 41 mm stainless steel case, and an attractive green index dial with a date display at the 3 o’clock position. A cyclops lens makes it easy to read the date, and the effect is completed by the iconic crown motif at the 12 o’clock position. This Datejust travels seamlessly from casual to formal occasions, making it the perfect starting point as you build a robust collection of luxurious timepieces.
Rolex Day-Date 40, Green Roman Dial
For the final installment on our list of great green watches for Earth Day (and beyond), we’re turning to Rolex’s other prestigious dress watch: the Day-Date. This 40 mm Day-Date features a striking President bracelet coupled with a sparkling diamond-set bezel and a gorgeous green ombré dial. This piece is truly something special, offering all of the classic Day-Date elements (you’ll see the day of the week display at 12 o’clock and the day of the month display complete with a cyclops lens at 3 o’clock) but adding extra extravagance and luxury with priceless gemstones and a vibrant dial. Don’t hesitate to get your hands on this sophisticated, elegant timepiece that exudes Rolex from every angle.
