Green was once the daring outsider in the world of watches, a shade reserved for adventurous collectors or for fleeting limited editions that vanished almost as soon as they appeared. Most brands clung to the safety of black, white, or blue, sticking with what was familiar. But over time, green quietly broke through, weaving its way into more collections and evolving from a rare curiosity into one of the most captivating and widely embraced colours in modern watchmaking.

Green stands out because it seems to come alive on the wrist, shifting in depth and mood with every change in light. Sometimes it whispers with subtlety; other times it glows with richness and expression, always stopping short of excess. This chameleon quality lets green thrive on everything from rugged, military-inspired watches to sleek dress pieces and even the most luxurious models, where it brings a fresh sense of character. With shades ranging from airy and bright to deep and sophisticated, it is easy to see why green has become such a beloved and fast-growing choice.

In this list, we’ve brought together 27 of the best green-dial watches available right now, starting with strong mid-range options and working all the way up to some of the most luxurious pieces you can get your hands on. It gives you a complete look at how versatile and compelling this colour has become. If you’ve been thinking about adding something different to your collection, this is the perfect place to explore what green has to offer.

The matte green dial is more subtle than the shiny finishes you often see on other divers, which actually helps it stand out, especially with the matching bezel and simple, sporty design. The date window at 3 o’clock is practical and fits in well without throwing off the look. It’s bold but not too much, and you can choose between 41 mm and 43 mm for a comfortable fit.

With an oak-brown strap, crafted from sustainably sourced deer leather and finished with a natural tanning process that gives it a unique texture and character. Inside, the Oris Calibre 754, which is built on the reliable SW200-1 and finished with the brand’s signature red rotor, offers a 38-hour power reserve.

  • Price: USD $2,975 / USD $3,025

This watch is one of our favourites on the list, and it’s easy to see why. The square case makes it unique, but the gradient-green dial and the large opening at 6 o’clock really set it apart. You get a clear view of the balance wheel in motion every time you check the time. The hands and indexes use white Super-LumiNova for better visibility and a gentle glow in low light. The sapphire crystal with anti-reflective coating on both sides keeps the display sharp and easy to read.

On the wrist, the 40 x 40 mm case feels well-balanced, and you can choose between a stainless steel bracelet and a genuine calf leather strap, depending on your style. Powered by the RW1212 automatic movement with a 41-hour power reserve and backed by 100 metres of water resistance, it blends technical detail with everyday practicality in a way that feels natural, making it a very easy pick if you want something a little more distinctive without going over the top.

There’s a small date window at 4:30, and if you look closely, the seconds hand features a subtle airplane-shaped counterweight as a nod to the brand’s heritage.

If you want a watch that’s both modern and refined, look no further than TAG Heuer’s Carrera Day-Date.

The lush green sunray dial catches the light, giving the watch an upscale edge, while the matching flange and clear minute track make it easy to read at a glance. The day-date window at 3 o’clock blends in seamlessly, and rhodium-plated hands and indexes add crisp contrast without overpowering the dial’s rich color.

The 41 mm case is paired with a steel bracelet, its H-shaped links and secure clasp striking a perfect balance between sporty and elegant. Inside, the automatic TH31-02 movement delivers an impressive 80-hour power reserve and keeps track of hours, minutes, seconds, and the day and date with ease.

Now we’re moving into the top models, and the Seamaster Diver 300 is a watch that hardly needs an introduction. The Seamaster line has been around since 1948 and has earned a strong reputation among divers and professionals. The green dial is among the most striking in this group, with its lustrous finish and distinctive wave pattern adding depth and character that stand out when illuminated, especially when paired with the matching green ceramic bezel, which gives the design a contemporary edge. The 42 mm case feels robust on the wrist, and for those demanding uncompromising water resistance, the 300 metres of water resistance provide assurance. The Calibre 8800 powers the watch with a 55-hour reserve, making it as capable as it appears—built for more than daily wear.

14. Rolex Oyster Perpetual 41

  • Reference: 134300-0004
  • Diameter: 41 mm

  • Calibre: Manufacture Rolex 3230
  • Power Reserve: 70 Hours
  • Water-Resistance: 10 Bar (100 metres, 330 feet)
  • Price: USD $7,100

If there is one watch that stands out from our entire list, it will be the Rolex Oyster Perpetual, hands down. Here, the design is cleaner and more understated, showing that the Oyster Perpetual 41 can stand out without being complicated. This watch is also a clear example of Rolex’s heritage, built around the original Oyster case from 1926, one of the first waterproof watch designs, and the self-winding Perpetual movement that followed. The green dial is simple yet thoughtfully executed, with a smooth finish that shifts slightly in the light. It gives the watch a modern look while still honouring the classic style.

You can wear this watch every day, whether you’re dressing casually or for something more formal. The in-house Calibre 3230 offers a solid 70-hour power reserve and the reliability you expect from Rolex. Priced at about $7,100, it’s very competitive, but, like many Rolex models, it can be hard to find at retail, making it even more desirable.

Breitling Premier B09 Chronograph 40 Ref. AB0930D31L1P1
Breitling Premier B09 Chronograph 40 Ref. AB0930D31L1P1 | Image: Supplied

15. Breitling Premier B09 Chronograph 40

  • Brand: Breitling
  • Model: Premier B09 Chronograph 40
  • Reference: AB0930D31L1P1
  • Diameter: 40 mm
  • Thickness: 13.08 mm
  • Material: Stainless Steel
  • Dial: Green Mint
  • Calibre: Breitling B09
  • Power Reserve: 70 Hours
  • Water-Resistance: 10 Bar (100 metres, 330 feet)
  • Price: USD $9,950

Breitling really leans into style with this piece, as the mint green dial introduces a distinct personality compared to the darker shades seen before. It offers a lighter, vintage-inspired vibe that stands out subtly, especially when combined with the clean chronograph layout and contrasting subdials, giving it a balanced and sophisticated appearance that feels both modern and timeless. Beyond the dial, the manually wound B09 movement adds further appeal, providing a robust 70-hour power reserve and offering a more traditional, hands-on experience. This perfectly aligns with the watch’s character, making it something you wear out of genuine appreciation for the craftsmanship and details, not just for its look.

Breitling Navitimer B01 Chronograph 43 Ref. AB0138241L1A1
Breitling Navitimer B01 Chronograph 43 Ref. AB0138241L1A1 | Image: Supplied

16. Breitling Navitimer B01 Chronograph 43

  • Brand: Breitling
  • Model: Navitimer B01 Chronograph 43
  • Reference: AB0138241L1A1
  • Diameter: 43 mm
  • Thickness: 13.69 mm
  • Material: Stainless Steel
  • Dial: Green Mint
  • Calibre: Breitling 01
  • Power Reserve: 70 Hours
  • Water-Resistance: 3 Bar (30 metres, 100 feet)
  • Price: USD $10,700

Breitling takes that same mint-green idea and takes it in a completely different direction with the Navitimer, and it works surprisingly well. The dial feels a bit more vibrant here, almost brighter against the busy layout of the chronograph and the iconic slide rule bezel, which has been part of the Navitimer’s identity since the 1950s. It’s a lot to take in at first glance, but that softer green tone helps balance everything, giving the watch a fresher, more modern feel than the traditional darker versions.

What makes this one stand out isn’t just the colour, but how it plays against all the details on the dial, from the subdials to the outer scales, creating something that feels both technical and stylish at the same time. Inside, the in-house Breitling 01 movement brings a solid 70-hour power reserve, while the overall build stays true to what the Navitimer has always been about—a proper aviation tool watch, just reworked here with a more contemporary edge.

  • Model: Reverso Tribute
  • Reference: Q397843J
  • Dimensions: 45.6 x 27.4 mm
  • Thickness: 8.5 mm
  • Material: Stainless Steel
  • Dial: Green
  • Calibre: Jaeger-LeCoultre Calibre 822
  • Power Reserve: 42 Hours
  • Water-Resistance: 3 Bar (30 metres, 100 feet)
  • Price: USD $11,400

If you ever want to dress up your look, this is the perfect moment, and the Reverso is ready for it. What makes it interesting is that this famous dress watch actually began as a sports watch in 1931. It was made for polo players who needed a case that could flip over to protect the watch face, and that smart design is still part of its appeal today. The Tribute version keeps the classic Art Deco style, with a clean rectangular case, subtle lines, and a beautifully finished green sunray dial that looks both elegant and modern. Features like the Dauphine hands, applied indexes, and the small seconds at 6 o’clock add just enough character without losing its simple, refined look.

The watch comes with a leather strap from Casa Fagliano, a company famous for making high-end polo boots. This detail connects the watch to its roots and adds a warm, sophisticated touch which complements the green dial. Inside, the manually wound Calibre 822 fits the case perfectly, keeping the watch slim and true to its design. It’s not made for tough conditions, but that isn’t the goal. This watch is all about elegance, heritage, and the feeling of wearing something timeless every time you put it on.

  • Calibre: Manufacture Rolex 3235
  • Power Reserve: 70 Hours
  • Water-Resistance: 10 Bar (100 metres, 330 feet)
  • Price: USD $11,650

How can we make a list without Rolex in it? The Datejust 41 steps in like it always does, and this green ombré dial version makes a strong case for itself. The dial is easily the highlight here, fading from a lighter green in the centre to a darker edge, creating a sense of depth that changes with the light and giving it a more dynamic, slightly dressier feel than a standard flat dial.

Everything else stays true to what makes the Datejust such a staple, blending everyday wear with a more refined edge that works almost anywhere. Inside, the Calibre 3235 delivers a solid 70-hour power reserve, and at around $11,650, it sits firmly in that premium category—although getting one from an actual boutique… good luck. Like most Rolex pieces, availability is part of the story, which only adds to the appeal, especially when the dial brings this much presence to the table.

This is one of the first Chronomaster Sport models to feature a green-focused design. The sunray green dial stands out right away, but it’s the mix with the grey subdials that creates a balanced and refined look. The applied Arabic numerals give it a sportier feel than earlier versions. The green ceramic bezel pulls the colour theme together and is also functional. When you look closer, the El Primero 3600 movement adds even more interest. Its central second hand makes a full rotation in just 10 seconds instead of 60, so you can read time down to a tenth of a second. Details like this make you appreciate the watch even more, especially when you see the movement through the caseback. It really feels like a high-performance chronograph with a fresh green twist.

20. Zenith Chronomaster Original

  • Brand: Zenith
  • Model: Chronomaster Original
  • Reference: 03.3400.3610/40.M3200
  • Diameter: 38 mm
  • Thickness: 14 mm
  • Material: Stainless Steel
  • Dial: Oliver green-toned sunray-patterned with silver-toned counters
  • Calibre: El Primero 3610
  • Power Reserve: 60 Hours
  • Water-Resistance: 5 Bar (50 metres, 165 feet)
  • Price: USD $15,100

Zenith’s Chronomaster Original draws on its heritage in a classic way, clearly inspired by the brand’s late 1960s designs. The olive green dial gives it a fresh look, but the colour is more muted and mature than brighter greens. It pairs well with the silver-toned subdials, creating a refined contrast while still keeping a sporty chronograph feel. When you look closer, the El Primero 3610 movement stands out for its high-frequency performance and ability to measure time to a tenth of a second. With a 60-hour power reserve, this watch quietly brings together history, precision, and a subtle approach to green that’s easy to appreciate.

21. Girard-Perregaux Laureato

  • Brand: Girard-Perregaux
  • Model: Laureato
  • Reference: 81005-11-3407-1CM
  • Diameter: 38 mm
  • Thickness: 14 mm
  • Material: Stainless Steel
  • Dial: Sage Green
  • Calibre: GP03300
  • Power Reserve: 60 Hours
  • Water-Resistance: 10 Bar (100 metres, 330 feet)
  • Price: USD $15,600

This is another favourite from the list. Girard-Perregaux, the Swiss brand from La Chaux-de-Fonds, brings its usual quiet confidence to the Laureato, especially in this sage green dial. The colour is more subtle than bold and can look almost grey until the light hits it just right. That’s when it really comes to life. The Clous de Paris pattern, made of tiny pyramids, begins to catch the light from different angles and sometimes reveals a deeper, richer green beneath. It’s the kind of dial you keep looking at, even if you’re not sure why. Everything else feels just as thoughtfully designed, from the sharp case lines to the integrated bracelet that gives it a classic luxury sports watch vibe. The in-house GP03300 movement has a solid 60-hour power reserve, making this a watch that doesn’t try to stand out but still manages to do so in its own quiet way.

Tudor Black Bay Fifty-Eight 18K Ref. M79018v-0001

22. Tudor Black Bay Fifty-Eight 18K

  • Brand: Tudor
  • Model: Black Bay Fifty-Eight
  • Reference: M79018v-0001
  • Diameter: 39 mm
  • Thickness: 12.7 mm
  • Material: 18 CT Yellow Gold
  • Dial: Green
  • Calibre: MT5400
  • Power Reserve: 70 Hours
  • Water-Resistance: 20 Bar (200 metres, 660 feet)
  • Price: USD $16,450

This is the most exclusive model in the Black Bay Fifty-Eight collection, and Tudor makes a strong impression with it. The full 18 ct yellow-gold case gives the watch a bold, luxurious feel, especially when paired with the deep green dial and bezel. The combination creates a rich contrast that stands out and looks carefully designed. The gold “snowflake” hands bring the whole look together, adding warmth against the green tones. The brushed finish on the case keeps the watch from looking too flashy, so it still feels balanced despite the gold.

The watch keeps its dive-watch heritage with 200 metres of water resistance. Inside, the in-house MT5400 movement runs at a high frequency and offers a solid 70-hour power reserve, visible through the sapphire caseback. It comes with a domed dark brown alligator strap and an 18 ct yellow gold buckle, plus a green fabric strap with a gold stripe for a more casual, matching look. At $16,450, it feels like a watch that truly delivers, combining luxury materials, strong design, and everyday practicality in a way that works well.

Chopard Alpine Eagle Ref. 298600-3014

23. Chopard Alpine Eagle

  • Brand: Chopard
  • Model: Alpine Eagle
  • Reference: 298600-3014
  • Diameter: 41 mm
  • Thickness: 9.7 mm
  • Material: Stainless Steel
  • Dial: Pine Green
  • Calibre: CHOPARD 01.01-C
  • Power Reserve: 60 Hours
  • Water-Resistance: 10 Bar (100 metres, 330 feet)
  • Price: USD $18,700

The Alpine Eagle is one of those watches you really have to see in person to appreciate. At first, it looks clean and simple, but the dial quickly draws you in. The pine green colour has a hint of grey, and the textured surface catches the light in different ways as you move, making it feel lively without being too bold. The design is inspired by an eagle’s eye, which might seem like a small touch, but once you notice the pattern and spot the feather-shaped counterweight on the seconds hand, it all comes together. There’s some history here too, with roots in Chopard’s St. Moritz from the 1970s, but this version feels much more modern. The case and bracelet are finished to keep the watch slim, comfortable, and solid on your wrist. Inside, the in-house 01.01-C movement gives you a 60-hour power reserve.

Patek Philippe Cubitus Ref. 5821/1A-001

24. Patek Philipe Cubitus

  • Brand: Patek Phillippe
  • Model: Cubitus
  • Reference: 5821/1A-001
  • Diameter: 45 mm
  • Thickness: 8.3 mm
  • Material: White Gold
  • Dial: Sunburst Olive Green
  • Calibre: 26-330 S C
  • Power Reserve: 45 Hours
  • Water-Resistance: 3 Bar (30 metres, 100 feet)
  • Price: USD $45,512

Without needing much of an introduction, this is easily one of the most luxurious on the list. The Cubitus steps in with a bold presence, and it carries extra weight knowing it was officially launched on October 17, 2024, as Patek Philippe’s first new collection since 1999. It still holds onto that identity of a true classic and elegant timepiece, just presented in a more modern and confident way, with the case shape giving it that instant presence, while the olive green sunburst dial adds depth, shifting tones as the light moves across it and giving the watch a refined but noticeable character, especially paired with the white gold case.

Underneath all that, it’s still very much Patek Philippe doing what it does best, with the 26-330 S C movement keeping things precise and reliable, even if this piece leans more toward design and feel than pure technical show-off. Despite its larger size, the slim profile keeps it surprisingly wearable, and at $45,512, it’s clearly not for everyone. But if you’re looking at something in this range, this is the kind of watch that makes a statement without needing to say much.

Rolex GMT-Masters II Ref. 126729VTNR-0001

25. Rolex GMT-Masters II

  • Brand: Rolex
  • Model: GMT-Masters II
  • Reference: 126729VTNR-0001

  • Thickness: 11.7 mm
  • Material: Oyster-18 KT White Gold
  • Dial: Green Ceramic
  • Calibre: Manufacture Rolex 3285
  • Power Reserve: 70 Hours
  • Water-Resistance: 10 Bar (100 metres, 330 feet)
  • Price: USD $52,200

The GMT-Master II has always been a strong name in the Rolex lineup, originally built for pilots who needed to track multiple time zones. This version takes things in a more unexpected direction. The green ceramic dial really sets it apart. It’s not something you see often, especially from Rolex. This gives the watch a bold but refined character that feels fresh without losing its identity. Paired with the green and black ceramic bezel, it adds another layer of contrast, making the watch stand out even more. Especially when paired with the white gold case, it carries a quiet weight and luxury that doesn’t scream for attention but is definitely there once you know what you’re looking at.

A subtle twist sets this model apart: the crown and date now sit on the left, lending the watch an unconventional edge compared to the classic GMT-Master II. Beneath the surface, the calibre 3285 ensures flawless performance with an impressive 70-hour power reserve. Priced at $52,200, this piece is about more than just utility; it is a statement, a reminder that you are wearing a Rolex.

  • Dial: Khaki green
  • Calibre: 4401
  • Power Reserve: 70 Hours
  • Water-Resistance: 5 Bar (50 metres, 165 feet)
  • Price: USD $63,800

This is one of those watches that hits the moment differently when you see it. The Royal Oak already has a legendary presence, but the 50th Anniversary edition takes it further, especially with its striking khaki green dial. The “Grande Tapisserie” pattern shimmers with life as light dances across its surface, while the green counters, pink-gold markers, and glowing Royal Oak hands bring everything together in a way that feels balanced rather than busy. Add the radiant gleam of the 18-carat pink gold case, and the result is a watch that exudes richness, confidence, and unmistakable character.

A khaki-green alligator strap and 18-carat pink gold AP folding clasp finish the ensemble, mirroring the case and dial for effortless elegance. Beneath its refined exterior, the calibre 4401 pulses with precision at 28,800 vibrations per hour, driven by 40 jewels and a 70-hour reserve. This watch is not just a feast for the eyes—it is a triumph of engineering. Priced at $63,800, it stands tall in the world of luxury, yet its allure makes every cent feel justified.

  • Calibre: CH 28-520 C

  • Water-Resistance: 3 Bar (30 metres, 100 feet)
  • Price: USD $88,898

This is the last watch on our list, and the Aquanaut Chronograph shows Patek Philippe at its most playful. It brings together the brand’s classic heritage with a fresh, sporty feel that still looks sophisticated. For the first time, the Aquanaut flyback chronograph is offered in white gold, giving it a new kind of appeal: clearly luxurious yet modern and ready for everyday wear. The khaki green dial, with its raised chequered pattern, adds a familiar texture that Aquanaut fans will recognize. With its tough “tropical” strap, this watch perfectly combines sporty style and refined luxury the moment you put it on.

This watch fits easily into daily life, which is surprising for something so exclusive. It offers both comfort and a bold look, thanks to the CH 28-520 C movement with a 55-hour power reserve. At $88,898, it is clearly a luxury item, but it stands out for combining high-end style, sportiness, and everyday practicality in a way few other watches can.

Bad Bunny turned the Super Bowl LX halftime show into something much more than just a string of hit songs for football’s biggest event. In a 13-minute set, the Puerto Rican superstar delivered a show filled with cultural references, political statements, personal tributes, and a nod to the communities that have shaped him throughout his career. While many viewers were busy singing along, others saw a deeper story being told behind every song, in the visuals, and in the surprise moments.

From the opening sugarcane fields that paid tribute to Puerto Rico’s history to recreations of neighbourhood barber shops, domino tables, piragua vendors, and symbols of Nuyorican culture, the performance celebrated the people, traditions, and everyday experiences that we don’t often see. At the same time, Bunny used the occasion to address broader issues affecting Puerto Rico and Latino communities, weaving messages of resilience, identity, and belonging throughout the show.

There were also plenty of moments that sparked conversation long after the final song ended. A young boy receiving a Grammy on stage, a real wedding taking place during the performance, references to El Apagón, along with a closing message that read “Together, We Are America,” all added extra layers to a show that felt thoughtfully constructed from beginning to end. Already being talked about as one of the most-watched halftime performances in Super Bowl history, the show delivered an impact that stretched far beyond entertainment and well beyond the final whistle.

If you found yourself wondering about the symbolism behind certain scenes, the meaning of the number 64, the appearance of the Ford pickup truck, or some of the cultural references hidden throughout the performance, you’re not alone.

Here’s everything you might have missed during Bad Bunny’s Super Bowl halftime show.

“Qué Rico Es Ser Latino”

One of the first messages viewers saw during the halftime show came before Bad Bunny had even taken centre stage. Opening the performance was an Afro-Latino guitarist wearing a traditional pava hat, who proudly declared, “Qué rico es ser latino” (“How wonderful it is to be Latino”). It was a simple moment, but one that immediately told viewers what this performance was about. Rather than opening with fireworks or one of his biggest hits, Bad Bunny chose to begin with a celebration of Latino identity in front of one of the largest audiences on the planet.

The musician was Dominican singer Alexander Mercedes, who paid tribute to bachata legend Anthony Santos with the song ‘Hoy Se Bebe’. The scene was filmed in a sugarcane field in the Dominican Republic, adding another touch of Caribbean culture to the show’s opening. Fans of Bad Bunny might have recognized the melody right away, since it introduces ‘Tití Me Preguntó’, one of the biggest songs from ‘Un Verano Sin Ti.’ The reference, produced by MAG, who has both Dominican and Puerto Rican descent, felt intentional. It was not a hit song, but a way to honour the different cultures, sounds, and communities that have shaped Bad Bunny’s music from the start.

Sugarcanes & Field Workers

As Tití Me Preguntó played at Levi’s Stadium, viewers saw wide sugarcane fields and workers cutting stalks by hand. It was more than just a strong image. Sugar has been part of Puerto Rico’s history for hundreds of years, going back to colonial times when the island’s Indigenous Taíno people were forced to work the land under Spanish rule. After the Taíno population was reduced by disease and harsh treatment, enslaved Africans were brought to the island to work the plantations. For many generations, sugar has been one of Puerto Rico’s most important industries, shaping communities, jobs, and much of the island’s culture we see today.

Placing these fields at the centre of the performance, Bad Bunny honoured the people whose hard work had helped build the Puerto Rico nation by celebrating in the show. And since this was still a halftime show, there was a clever surprise in plain sight. Some of the “grass” moving in the fields was not grass at all, but hundreds of performers dressed as sugarcane stalks, creating one of the night’s most creative visual effects while adhering to the NFL’s strict field-production rules.

Meaning of ’64

One of the biggest talking points before the halftime show wasn’t the setlist or surprise guests—it was what Bad Bunny would wear. Instead of stepping onto the field in his signature pava hat, the Puerto Rican superstar appeared in a cream-white jersey with “Ocasio” on the back and the number 64, leaving fans to figure out the meaning behind it.

As it turns out, the number had nothing to do with football statistics or a hidden reference buried in his music. The jersey was a tribute to his late uncle, Cutito Ocasio, who was born in 1964 and played a major role in introducing a young Bad Bunny to the NFL. In a statement shared with Rolling Stone, the singer explained that many of his earliest football memories came from watching games alongside his uncle during visits to Puerto Rico. A devoted San Francisco 49ers fan, Cutito moved to the United States at 17 for work but returned to visit family, often during the NFL playoffs.

“1964 is the year my uncle Cutito was born, my mother’s brother,” Bad Bunny said. “The little I know about the NFL is thanks to him.” He went on to explain that his uncle passed away two years ago, shortly after the 49ers lost Super Bowl LVIII to the Kansas City Chiefs. “I always dreamed of taking my uncle to a Super Bowl, and I couldn’t,” he said. By wearing the Ocasio name and the number 64 during one of the biggest performances of his life, Bad Bunny found a way to bring him along anyway. What many assumed was a fashion choice turned out to be one of the most personal moments of the entire show.

Ford F-250 Pickup Truck

At one scene of the show, Benito stood atop a vintage 1968 Ford F-250 that appeared during the performance. While Benito never explicitly explained its meaning, many fans speculated that it was a nod to Classic American Culture as an iconic piece of U.S. history, and that it was a show that celebrated Puerto Rican and Latino identity.

It also placed him alongside halftime list performers who have used cars to help tell a story on football’s biggest stage. We had The Weeknd, who brought out a modified Mercedes-Benz SLK 32 AMG, while Dr. Dre and Snoop Dogg rolled out classic Chevrolet Impala lowriders in 2022, and most recently Kendrick Lamar brought his father’s 1987 Buick GNX.

A Love Letter to Puerto Rico

Many of the most meaningful moments in Benito’s halftime show came from the small details woven into the performance. Scenes of neighbourhood gathering spots, family traditions, local food, music, and daily island life made the show feel like a love letter to Puerto Rico and its people. Some references may have gone unnoticed by international viewers, but Puerto Ricans around the world likely recognized these familiar scenes right away.

Some of the cultural references featured throughout the performance were:

  • Coco Frío
  • Abuelos & Dominoes
  • Nail Salon
  • Rebuild
  • Piraguas
  • Villa’s Tacos
  • Boxing
  • Gold & Silver

On their own, these references might have seemed like minor background details. But when put together, they created a personal and authentic picture of Puerto Rico. Instead of focusing only on big statements or political messages, Benito chose to highlight the people, traditions, businesses, and daily experiences that make up life on the island. For many viewers, this was a reminder that some of the most meaningful moments in the performance were not on centre stage but in the small details scattered throughout.

Every Surprise Guest Appearance

A Super Bowl halftime show just isn’t the same without some surprise guests, and Benito delivered plenty for fans to enjoy. The centrepiece was La Casita, his portable version of a traditional Puerto Rican home, which has become a signature symbol in this phase of his career. La Casita wasn’t just a backdrop—it celebrated Puerto Rican culture, architecture, and community, bringing a feeling of home to one of the world’s biggest stages.

La Casita also became the hottest VIP spot in the stadium. Fans spotted stars including Cardi B, Karol G, Young Miko, Pedro Pascal, and Jessica Alba in the crowd, but the biggest surprises were Lady Gaga and Ricky Martin. Lady Gaga joined Benito for a salsa-style version of ‘Die With a Smile,’ giving the hit a Latin flair. Later, Ricky Martin drew one of the loudest cheers of the night when he performed ‘LO QUE LE PASÓ A HAWAii,’ a song with a strong political message that resonated with fans.

For many, seeing two Puerto Rican icons share the Super Bowl stage was a major moment for Latin representation, and Martin’s appearance was especially significant for the LGBTQ+ community. These guest stars made the halftime show even more memorable while keeping the focus on Benito’s message.

Was the “wedding” in the halftime show real?

One of the most talked-about moments of the night occurred when a couple seemed to get married during the performance, prompting viewers to question whether the ceremony was real or just part of the show. It turns out the wedding was completely real. According to ESPN, the couple, Eleisa “Elli” Aparicio and Thomas “Tommy” Wolter, were legally married live during the halftime show. They first got engaged earlier in the performance when Benito gave them a gold ring during the “Gold & Silver” segment.

The story gets even better when you find out how it all came together. Elli and Tommy had invited Benito to their wedding, but instead, he invited them onto the Super Bowl stage to exchange vows in front of millions of viewers. With dancers, music, and the energy of Levi’s Stadium all around them, the couple got married while Benito acted as their official witness. This turned an already memorable halftime show into a once-in-a-lifetime wedding ceremony.

Toñita & Nuyorican Pride

After the wedding ceremony and Lady Gaga’s appearance, Benito shifted gears with NuevaYol, his tribute to Nuyorican culture. The stage turned into a New York barbershop and La Marqueta, showcasing the sights and spirit of Puerto Rican life in the city. As he sang, “Un shot de cañita en casa de Toñita y PR se siente cerquita,” viewers saw a cameo from Toñita, the well-loved owner of Brooklyn’s Caribbean Social Club, who appeared behind the bar serving him a drink.

Often called one of the last Puerto Rican social clubs in New York, the Caribbean Social Club has been a community meeting place and a symbol of cultural pride. Her appearance was more than a fun cameo—it honoured the generations of Puerto Ricans who made their lives in New York while maintaining their connection to the island.

The Power of “El Apagón”

One of the most powerful moments of the halftime show happened during El Apagón (“The Blackout”), a song tied to Puerto Rico’s struggles with its energy system and the difficulties many communities face. As the music changed, dancers climbed utility poles that sparked while lights flickered around the stadium, expressing the uncertainty many Puerto Ricans feel during frequent power outages, bringing the main message to life.

El Apagón also points to bigger issues in Puerto Rico, such as the privatization of the power grid, the lasting impact of Hurricane Maria, and the rising cost of living, which has forced many people to leave their homes. By choosing this song for such a big stage, Benito drew attention to the problems occurring, making his lively performance one of the most meaningful parts of the night.

The Songs That Made the Setlist

While the halftime show was packed with cultural references, political symbolism, and surprise appearances, it was still a celebration of the music that turned Benito into one of the biggest artists worldwide. Over the course of 13 minutes, he worked through a setlist that blended fan favourites, chart-topping hits, and songs carrying deeper personal and cultural meaning.

Bad Bunny’s set list went through several of his hits, including:

  • ‘Tití Me Preguntó’
  • ‘Yo Perreo Sola’
  • ‘Safaera’
  • ‘EoO’
  • ‘Die With a Smile’ — With Lady Gaga
  • ‘BAILE INoLVIDABLE’
  • ‘NUEVAYoL’
  • ‘LO QUE LE PASÓ A HAWAii’ — Ricky Martin
  • ‘El Apagón’
  • ‘CAFé CON RON’
  • ‘DeBÍ TiRAR MáS FOToS’

Instead of just playing his biggest hits one after another, the setlist told a story throughout the show. Each song marked a different part of the performance, from celebrating Puerto Rican culture to depicting life in the diaspora to raising awareness of issues facing the island today. When El Apagón closed the show with an emotional high point, it was clear that every song had a purpose.

His Grammy Speech

Some of the most memorable moments from the halftime show were inspired by Benito’s Grammy Awards speech just a week before. During his performance, a billboard displayed the message, “The only thing more powerful than hate is love.” This echoed what he said after winning Best Música Urbana Album and highlighted the show’s main themes.

When Benito accepted his award on February 1, he spoke about the rising tensions around immigration and identity. He told the audience: “We’re not savages, we’re not animals, we are not aliens, we are humans and we are Americans.” He went on: “I know it’s tough not to hate on these days and I was thinking sometime we get contaminated. The hate gets more powerful with more hate. The only thing that is more powerful than hate is love. So please, we need to be different. If we fight, we have to do it with love. We don’t hate them. We love our people, we love our family, and that’s the way to do it. We love. That’s the way to do it.” By sharing this same message during the Super Bowl, Benito linked two major entertainment events and made the halftime show feel much more personal.

The message of hope was carried into one of the show’s most touching scenes. Moments before receiving a Grammy trophy on stage, viewers saw a young boy watching a vintage television with his parents, dressed in a striped collared shirt and khaki shorts reminiscent of Benito as a boy. Played by five-year-old actor Lincoln Fox, the child later received the award from Benito in a symbolic passing-of-the-torch moment. Lincoln later reflected on the experience on Instagram, writing, “I’ll remember this day forever! @badbunnypr – it was my truest honour.” While the scene lasted only a few seconds, it carried a powerful message: anyone can achieve their dreams.

“Together, We Are America”

At the end of the halftime show, Benito shared a final message that tied his whole performance together. He stood in front of flags from countries all over the Americas and spoke to the crowd: “God bless America… sea Chile, Argentina, Uruguay, Paraguay, Bolivia, Perú, Ecuador, Brazil, Colombia, Venezuela, Guyana, Panama, Costa Rica, Nicaragua, Honduras, El Salvador, Guatemala, Mexico, Cuba, República Dominicana, Jamaica… United States, Canada, and my motherland, mi barrio, Puerto Rico, seguimos aquí.” This moment broadened the idea of America by honouring the cultures, communities, and people from across the continent.

To finish, Benito threw a football into the end zone, with the words “Together, We Are America” written on it. Soon after, another message appeared on the big screen: “The only thing more powerful than hate is love.” The halftime show explored themes such as identity, heritage, immigration, community, and resilience, so the ending felt more like a statement than a mere performance. Regardless of how viewers felt about the message, Benito ensured his final words were memorable.
