Go Green This Christmas With The Trendiest Timepieces From Wristcheck

The best part of Christmas—beyond spending quality time with family and friends, and enjoying good food and drink—is the giving and receiving of gifts. No matter if they’re big or small, expensive or not, it’s the time of the year when the people closest to us are in our hearts and minds, as we contemplate the best way to surprise and delight them come Christmas morning.

While every gift can be as meaningful as it is memorable, there’s something that tugs at our heartstrings in a uniquely emotional way when we receive a timepiece. So if you’re after a present that your special someone will wear every day as a reminder of your connection, a watch is an excellent option and should be on top of your list.

In addition, the pre-owned nature of the Wristcheck’s business model promotes an environmentally friendly circular economy, as well as using green biodegradable packaging that all watches are shipped in. Here’s presenting you some of the greenest, most Christmassy timepieces we have in stock – from  Cartier and Rolex, to Swatch and Kurono Tokyo, this list has something for everyone. 

Cartier Santos de Cartier

The all-new green dial Cartier Santos de Cartier was one of the highlights of 2023 for the French-founded Maison, offering enthusiasts an alternative to the more timeless white dial and sportier blue dial references. This specific steel example measures 35mm in diameter and arrives on its iconic integrated bracelet, which is not only extremely comfortable on the wrist, but is also a study in world-class brushed and polished finishing. Elegant, without being conservative, it’s the kind of everyday companion you can wear from the beach to the boardroom.

Rolex GMT-Master II "Sprite" Ref. 126720VTNR

Another quite recent release, the Rolex GMT-Master II "Sprite" is the international traveler’s watch no one was expecting when it dropped in early 2022. Offering the same GMT-Master II look and feel that every Rolex lover is used to, but with a left-handed design and an under-the-radar green and black ceramic bezel, this is the perfect watch for anyone who gets their passport stamped more than once a month.

Kurono Tokyo 2022 Anniversary "Grand Mori"

For the watch enthusiast with an eye for detail, this Kurono Tokyo Automatic has a vibrant green-flecked dial that’s been carefully manufactured using traditional Japanese Urushi lacquer. Arriving with a modestly proportioned 37mm steel case and a workhorse movement with 40 hours of power reserve, it’s affordably priced and perfect for dressing up or down.

Swatch x Blancpain Fifty Fathoms Indian Ocean

One of the most discussed watches of 2023 and also the most affordably priced watch on this list, the Swatch x Blancpain Fifty Fathoms collection translates serious dive watch history into a colorful collaboration. Of the five different colourways (each named after one of the oceans of the world), the green and black Indian Ocean is a real head-turner, boasting a 42mm bioceramic case and fifty fathoms of water resistance.

Tudor Black Bay Harrods Edition

The Tudor Black Bay is a collection that has defined the entry-level dive watch category, delivering an incredibly well-manufactured timepiece that takes the best of historical dive watch design and reinterprets it for the 21st century. Created in partnership with the legendary London retailer Harrods, this olive green bezel diver deserves a lot more love from the watch community than it currently gets.

Patek Philippe Twenty~4 Ref. 7300

A watch that deserves the description “everyday elegance” more than most, the Twenty~4 Ref. 7300 is Patek Philippe’s offering of a watch that’s more than capable of handling the daily grind, but with a touch of elevation to its finish. Executed in 36mm of stainless steel, the diamond-set bezel brings the design up a notch and nicely works with the sunburst finish of the olive green dial. 

Christopher Ward C1 Bel Canto Verde Green Limited Edition

If you’ve not heard of the Christopher Ward C1 Bel Canto, it’s one that’s certainly worth your attention — all the more after winning a GPHG prize in 2023. One of the most affordable mechanical chiming watches you’ll ever see, its remarkable movement is able to chime every hour on the hour if you want it to, democratizing a corner of haute horlogerie that has long been inaccessible to the majority of us. 

MB&F HM9 “Flow” Ti Road Edition

A remarkable horological creation that helped push the boundaries of what many watchmakers believed was possible, the HM9 from MB&F is a mechanical tour de force on the wrist. It’s the kind of watch that few enthusiasts even know about, let alone understand, cementing it firmly in the camp of IYKYK. 

Rolex Oyster Perpetual 41mm Ref. 124300

A classic design from Rolex, but one that nods to the colorful creativity of the brand’s “Stella” dials in the 1970s and 80s, the beauty of this green dial Oyster Perpetual is its simplicity of concept and execution. Featuring the larger 41mm steel case, it’s powered by the ever-reliable automatic calibre 3235 with 70 hours of power reserve, and enjoys a rock-solid 100m of water resistance.

Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Offshore Chronograph

No one ever blamed the Royal Oak Offshore collection for being too under the radar, and this bright green example from Audemars Piguet is about as eye-catching as they come. With the extra pop of a diamond-set bezel and a comfy rubber strap, it’s the perfect daily watch for someone who isn’t afraid of the attention of a room turning in their direction. 

Czapek Antarctique Rattrapante Mystery Green Limited Edition

One of the most desirable timepieces from the Genevan watchmaker Czapek, this rattrapante chronograph is a limited edition of just 25 pieces worldwide. Blending the sportiness of its integrated bracelet and case with an uncompromising display of technological innovation, the dial is a sight to behold: especially when the chronograph is in action.

Patek Philippe Nautilus Ref. 5711

Last, but certainly not least is one of the hottest watches on the planet today — the (almost) last Nautilus ref. 5711 from Patek Philippe. Its olive green dial stands apart from its blue dial siblings as even rarer and more desirable (no small feat considering how coveted the blue dial is), while the legendary Genta-designed case and bracelet are as synonymous with luxury and success as ever before. A grail watch for many, with very good reason.
