WATCHES: GREEN ENERGY

Jaeger-LeCoultre

This new model is a tribute to the original 1931 Reverso that was designed for polo players who’d flip the case of their watch to protect it during a match. This year, the Reverso Small Seconds has been given a sunray-brushed lacquer dial in a rich green tone that echoes the pine forests near JLC Swiss HQ in the Vallee de Joux. A matching green strap made by polo boot experts Casa Fagliano tops off the look.

Tudor

Tudor’s dive watch from 1958, the Black Bay Fifty-Eight, has arrived with an 18ct yellow gold matt case and an open case back for the first time. Just 39mm in diameter, the size is a homage to the original model released in the 1950s. Green touches appear on the matt dial and on the strap, splendid Jacquard fabric with a gold band. The fabric is woven on 19th century looms in France by the 150-year old family company Julien Faure.

Patek Philippe

The Nautilus has been a timeless piece since its debut in 1976. With its octagonal bezel and rounded corners based on a ship’s porthole, the Nautilus’ shape became iconic. The stainless steel version with a blue dial was discontinued earlier this year, but now Patek have breathed new life into a legend of horology by giving it a green dial. Water resistant to 120 metres, the Nautilus has an olive green sunburst dial with that recognisable horizontal relief embossing. Hands and hour markers are in white gold, making it a highly legible watch that carries the baton from its predecessor.
