St. Patrick’s Day is celebrated all over the world, by people of all ages, whether of Irish ancestry or not, many of whom wear green in honor of the holiday. Over the last several years, luxury watch brands have started to embrace green as a featured color on watch dials and straps. Here, we take a look at seven green-tinted timepieces that we’ve covered recently. How many are in your collection? And are there any other “Irish-look” watches that we’re missing?

The Endeavour Centre Seconds Concept Cosmic Green, shown above, is limited to 20 pieces each in white and rose gold.
