St Patrick’s Day Green Watches and Straps

Green watches and straps have been around for years, but have been growing in popularity. The world has a fascination with the green color when it comes to fine timepieces. Not only are watches coming with gorgeous bands which are made with various forms of the color green, but there are many companies now that are shipping watches with beautiful green dials.

This is a piece that focuses on the color green for Saint Patrick’s Day. The Irish holiday will be coming on Wednesday, March 17. This popular holiday was called the Day of the Festival of Patrick which is a celebration of the life of the patron saint of Ireland – Saint Patrick.

Saint Patrick lived between 385 and 461 – a rather long life for the time. Saint Patrick was a 5th-century Romano-British Christian missionary and bishop in Ireland. He found his faith after being kidnapped by Irish raiders and after working for 6 years as a shepherd. Years later he came back to Ireland to help convert the generally pagan Irish to Christianity.

The holiday celebrates Christianity coming to Ireland and is celebrated with parades, festivals, people wearing green, and people drinking alcohol. Green Shamrocks are celebrated, because according to the legend, Saint Patrick used the 3-leaved shamrock to explain aspects of the Christian faith to his growing followers.

The holiday has become a popular one. Even non-Catholics are found celebrating Saint Patrick’s Day because it is a day of merriment, celebration, and wearing of all things green. The movement is not just in Ireland. The day is widely celebrated in the UK, Canada, the US, Brazil, Argentina, Australia and New Zealand.

Green Watches and Straps

There are a tremendous number of green watches and straps on the market today. Rubber B has added to the fun of Saint Patrick’s Day by adding plenty of watch bands with the iconic green color. Even if you don’t celebrate Saint Patrick’s Day, wearing a green watch is not only fun, but it is eye-catching all year round.

The home image on this article shows an Air-King with a green second hand and a matching Rubber B band that is made of pure 100% vulcanized rubber. In the picture above, you can see how the Rubber B band is precisely calibrated to fit the the Air-King with engineered precision.

There are no gaps. Most bands are just flat. This band curves precisely to fit the case of the Air-King with a tight fit. This creates a perfect unity of look and is more comfortable than other bands.

The Patek Philippe Aquanaut 5167 is stunning by itself. However, add to that a green strap from Rubber B and a dial that matches with the same color green, and you have a true love affair.

Patek Philippe is one of the most popular watches in the world. We know that one of the watch collector’s dream is owning one of these timepieces which is not a tool watch. It is a luxury timepiece. Although the value of Rolex has skyrocketed, Patek was one of the first watch brands to price their timepieces specifically for the luxury market.

Most notably the band itself matches the embossed globe markings found on the green dial. This timepiece has few functions, but finds its beauty in its minimalistic perfection.

The Rolex Daytona is the hottest timepiece on the planet. If you are lucky enough to find this green dial Daytona with gold case, you will definitely have found your lucky shamrock. This is a beauty. Rubber B has so many bands for the Rolex Daytona, that you have to just compare which one you would want to combine with this green monster.

In this example, they took a white band that matches the hour markers with perfection. Rubber B also has a Velcro series and a Rubber Cuff Series of bands that looks like actual NATO fabric.

Don’t forget the Italian brand Panerai. Here you can get a beautiful timepiece with both a green dial and a green Rubber Cuff Series band that match to perfection. And you could get this for a fraction of the price of a normal Rolex. But make no mistake, the Panerai is a masterful timepiece.

I have to put the Rolex Milgauss into this array of green timepieces because the Milgauss has a sapphire crystal that has a green hue at the edges. Add to this spectacular looking timepiece a green band from Rubber B and you have yourself a lucky timepiece for sure. Rubber B has both the Classic series that supports the original clasp and the Rubber Cuff series, both with the iconic green color that will make heads turn with envy.
