Chrono24’s Most Hyped Watches In April

In this monthly series with Hypetime, Chrono24 will be providing background on some of the most coveted luxury watches in the pre-owned market based on real-time findings from its global marketplace.

Every month, five models will be spotlighted by Chrono24’s in-house experts. The selection is based on monthly analytics, with each piece meeting all four criteria: 1) The watch must receive a critical mass of supply as well as demand, 2) There must be a significant percentage increase in inquiries and offers compared to the previous month as the reference period, 3) The search queries for the watch model must exceed a critical threshold defined from the data set, 4) The available listings per model must exceed a critical threshold defined from the data set.

Read on for the most hyped watches on Chrono24 in April.

Rolex Green Dial Datejust 41 126334

It’s no secret that the ultra-revered Rolex has seen near-rabid demand in the luxury pre-owned marketplace, while the company sits on countless multi-year waiting lists for new models across the world. Its Datejust 41 is no exception, specifically the Green Dial Datejust 41 126334. Chrono24 has seen requests for this model more than doubled since the beginning of 2023, with the brand’s enigmatic cool mint green dial captivating collectors – a look that’s reminiscent of cool green cash. Introduced in 2022, the Green Dial Datejust has also been spotted on a vacationing Mark Wahlberg.

Seiko Marinemaster Prospex SLA021J1

Seiko’s Marinemaster SLA021J1 might be a best-of example of the Japanese brand’s prowess. From the Prospex family – the brand’s hybrid jargon for “professional” and “specifications”- this is a do-it-all model that can perform land, sky and sea. Its 8L35 movement is based on its oft-hyped sibling brand Grand Seiko’s discontinued 9S55 movement, which is a superb offering for a watch in this more accessible price class. Chrono24 saw a record-high number of requests for this large 44.3mm model within the past 12 months — perhaps spawning from those in-the-know collectors who are allured by Grand Seiko’s value at a Seiko price point.

Tissot Green Dial Prx T137.410.11.091.00

Another example of the bursting popularity of the green dial trend is the Tissot Green Dial Prx T137.410.11.091.00. This model is the accessible answer for anyone seeking the look of the massively famed Rolex “Hulk” Submariner. The 40mm watch is decidedly unisex and sports a minimalist vibe, leaving the punchy green sunburst dial to do all the talking. On Chrono24, demand for this Tissot model has increased this month by more than 33% over its peak in 2023. Powered by an F06.115 quartz movement and featuring a sleek stainless steel bracelet, the “green effect” proves to be a hot commodity for folks seeking the most-of-the-moment color trend at a hundreds-not-thousands price that won’t break the bank.

Oris Aquis Date 01 733 7732 4155-07 8 21 05PEB

The Oris Aquis Date 01 733 7732 4155-07 8 21 05PEB has shot up the Chrono24 charts in demand lately, with requests reaching an all-time high and tripling in the past month alone. This 39.5mm unisex model bears the signature value-laden price point that Oris has become known for. The striking metallic blue dial is paired with a tungsten bezel and a stainless steel case and bracelet, making it an automatic sports watch with a slightly dressy feel — largely thanks to its gleaming polished bezel that reflects light while appearing black in some angles.

Tudor Gold Dial Prince Date 74033

Heads up, all rare watch seekers. The Tudor Gold Dial Prince Date 74033 is a shining example of a vintage-inspired Rolex dress watch that is getting increasingly harder to find. Tudor fully stopped production of this model in 2019 and Chrono24 has seen an 80% burst in demand for this rare model in the past month alone, representing peak lifetime demand. Coming in a classic 34mm size and under 10mm in height, this delicate timepiece gleams with an exceptional Rolex-quality gold sunburst dial, precision sharp features and an 18k gold fluted bezel.
