Phylida AQUA AT150 — 38mm Green Dial Automatic Watch with NH35A

38mm • 316L Solid Stainless Steel • NH35A Automatic • Double-Domed Sapphire Crystal • BGW9 Lume • 150m Water Resistance

The Green AT150 is the boldest colour option in the Phylida AQUA AT150 range. Where the Laurel Green AT150 takes an earthy, muted approach to green, this variant leads with a vivid, saturated tone — the green that reads immediately and confidently from across the room.

Green dials have established themselves as a serious option across the automatic watch market at every price level. The vivid end of the green spectrum is the choice for buyers who want the watch to make a statement rather than blend in — a dial with personality that rewards the deliberate decision to wear something with colour.

Everything else remains consistent with the AT150 platform: NH35A movement with hacking and hand-winding, double-domed sapphire crystal, 150m water resistance, push-button hidden clasp on a solid stainless bracelet. For the full technical breakdown, see the AT150 Matte Black page.

Vivid Green vs Laurel Green — Understanding the Difference

The AT150 range offers two distinct interpretations of green and it matters to understand which one you are buying.

The Laurel Green AT150 is muted and earthy — olive-toned, warm, the kind of green that sits alongside neutral outfits without creating colour tension. It reads as considered and restrained.

The Green AT150 is vivid and saturated — the full expression of green as a dial colour. It reads as intentional and confident. This is the variant for buyers who specifically want a green watch that looks green rather than a green watch that could pass for dark if the light is dim enough.

The BGW9 blue lume works well against the vivid green surface — the blue emission creates a clear contrast with the green dial background in darkness, maintaining legibility while adding a secondary colour interest that the daylight appearance hints at.

All Four AT150 Colour Variants — Quick Guide

All four AT150 variants share identical specifications. Here is how each reads on the wrist:

Matte Black — maximum versatility, minimum visual presence. The watch that works everywhere without being noticed as a watch.

Blue — the middle ground. Enough colour to be interesting, familiar enough to be universally appropriate. The most forgiving first choice.

Laurel Green — muted and earthy. Distinctive without being bold. The green for buyers who want colour with restraint.

Green (this page) — vivid and saturated. The green for buyers who want the watch to read as green. The statement choice in the AT150 range.

If you already own one or more of the other variants and are completing the set, the vivid green is the maximum contrast option to add to the collection.
