Here's mine...it is all green

number # is low one hundred (picked up from OB in NY in July)

on Omega's website, the video right at the start clearly shows all green hands and tach.

Perhaps they decided to change mid-stream or perhaps new process or just a mistake? Who knows

Call me a cynic but is this blue green combi a hoax? Photoshop an all that?

For what it's worth, I think the blue/green difference doesn't come across in photos much of the time.

In fact even difficult to see in person often unless blasting it with a dark light...

For instance here are my DSOM, 2254.50, and Ti PO 8500 (L to R). DSOM has green lume with blue minute hand and PO has blue lume with green minute hand. Much more visible on PO and almost invisible here on DSOM.

You would have thought that QC would have picked up any inconsistencies in line colour before letting a watch out in the wild

Intersting find....... could be, as pointed by others, a manufacturing assembly error (if there is another model that uses the same hands but with blue lume) or an error when applying lume to the hands at the factory

I would not be fussed with either colour providing there is consistency. It is poor QC in my opinion

They should test all the QC/QA team members for color blindness

Apparently a batch of ck2998s are on their way to the UK and I have one reserved (more correctly paid for in full 🙁). Will report back on the lume colours when I have it.

I'll also see if I can find out if this has a later/recent production date or whether it's been hanging about in Bienne for a while.

16xx, both hands blue lume.
Wondering if anyone has any update from OB on this.
