5 watches showing the green trend isn't going anywhere soon
The colour green, what's left to say about it when it comes to watches? Well, plenty, as it turns out! Especially when brands are stepping up to the plate by fully embracing the green vibe and pushing it to new heights with fresh tones and unique decorations.

Hands-On - Tudor Black Bay 32 ref. 79580 (and a woman's take on it) - Specs & Price
A campaign is underway at Tudor to increase the Black Bay's area of operation. With a solid corps of models, including the newly released?GMT Black Bay Pepsi model and the 39mm Black Bay Fifty Eight, there is no stopping the expansion envisioned by Tudor.

Sporty with just a touch of stylish vintage-Sub, the watch is designed as a resilient everyday companion for women who want a watch that can keep up with their active lifestyle.Mission dominationIn the last year alone, Tudor has deployed a growing arsenal of Black Bay models – including a chronograph,?a hyper-cool bronze?model and a flashier two-tone?steel and gold variant – in its

Celebrating its 230th anniversary this year, Girard-Perregaux has selected three emblematic models and given them a metiers d’art makeover with spectacular Grand Feu enamel dials and, in the case of La Esmeralda Tourbillon, a host of other artisanal techniques. Dubai Watch Week will be the stage for the unveiling of these Eternity Editions, a name that alludes to the never-fading lustre and intensity of colour produced by Grand Feu enamel.Brief BioAlthough the brand’s origins stretch back to 1791 with Jean-Fran?ois Bautte (below, left), the name Girard-Perregaux appeared in 1856 following the marriage of watchmaker Constant Girard (below, middle) and Marie Perregaux (below, right).
