Help with Grey Side of the Moon lume

mcparker05 · Apr 7, 2020

Hey everyone,
Just a quick question--I recently purchased my GSoTM on Chrono24. I love it, but I am just curious--why do I see some shots of a grey side with blue lume and mine glows green (I also think the Omega website shows the grey side with green lume). Thanks!

You need a watch with green lume as a frame of reference. The blue lume of Omega (and Rolex) are more of a blue-green (teal? turquoise?) color than what heavily Photoshopped or high-exposure camera shots represent..

Here's a bad lume shot of my Planet Ocean as example. The lume is "blue", but the minute hand and bezel lume pip are green.

Oh interesting--so you're saying it's the camera exposure that plays the role?

Yes. It's a teal lume and looks green sometimes
