The New Neutral: Why Pistachio Green Is the Hottest Watch Colour of the Year

Matcha, mint, pistachio—however you name it, this cool green hue is redefining luxury watch design.

Call it pistachio, matcha, mint, or sage—green has gone soft this year, and it’s making a statement. The trend hit its stride at Watches and Wonders Geneva, where brands swapped the familiar forest and racing greens for lighter, cooler tones. 

From Rolex to Piaget, luxury watch brands are embracing pistachio green dials in everything from sporty chronographs to diamond-set dress pieces. Whether matte pastel, gemstone-polished, or skeletonised, these timepieces prove that soft green is no longer just a seasonal experiment—it’s the defining watch colour trend of 2025. 

The consensus is clear: this quietly luxurious tone is dominating dials, cases, and even straps. Here are some standout timepieces leading the trend.

Pastel pistachio joins lavender and sandy beige in Rolex’s most playful dial series yet. Set on the largest 41mm model, this dial features a fresh matte finish, achieved through meticulous lacquer layering in a contamination-free environment—a texture not found anywhere else in Rolex’s current offerings.

While the colour story feels fashion-forward, the watch remains rooted in Rolex’s storied engineering. A direct descendant of the world’s first waterproof wristwatch, the Oyster Perpetual remains robust with its solid Oystersteel case, domed bezel, Twinlock waterproof crown, and scratch-resistant sapphire crystal.

Minimalism gets a maximalist twist in H. Moser’s Pop Collection, which lets raw materials take centre stage. The standout: a pistachio-toned dial crafted from lemon chrysoprase—a rare, minty green gemstone—set against a vivid lapis lazuli caseback for a jolt of contrast. Stripped of branding, logos or indices, the watch leans into elemental beauty. It’s a bold, quietly brilliant study in natural colour, texture, and restraint.

Piaget brings an easy sophistication to pistachio green with the Polo Date. The pastel dial shifts subtly in light, offering an almost metallic sheen that catches the eye without overwhelming it. Framed by a sleek 36mm steel case adorned with 60 brilliant-cut diamonds and matched with an interchangeable strap, it’s a watch that balances sportiness and sparkle.

For those who like their green loud, Hublot brings the volume with the Big Bang Unico in mint green ceramic. Known for its fearless approach to materials, the brand elevates this chronograph with a bold 42mm case in ultra-durable ceramic—a notoriously challenging material to produce in such saturated colour. A skeletonised dial reveals the high-performance HUB1280 movement, while the rubber strap and dial accents carry the mint theme throughout.

Hublot’s mastery of mechanics is never far behind the aesthetics. The Big Bang line houses some of the most technically ambitious movements in contemporary watchmaking, and while this mint edition may lean playful, it doesn’t compromise on power or precision. Consider it a joyful expression of horological audacity.

If Hublot is bold, Parmigiani is serene. The Tonda PF Skeleton Slate Green offers a more architectural interpretation of green, drawing inspiration from Le Corbusier’s colour theory. The bridges and plates of the openworked PF777 movement are finished in a luminous grey-green that feels almost sculptural—designed as much for visual harmony as technical precision.

Limited to just 50 pieces, this stainless steel and platinum timepiece features a knurled bezel and satin-finished bracelet, all seen through an anti-reflective sapphire crystal. With 192 individual movement components exposed in perfect balance, the watch captures a certain minimalist poetry.
