Titanium World Timer Owners - what's the deal with the color - is it light brown or grey

So on the website the photos all show it as gray.

But I went to the boutique today and the background color is clearly a sparkly light brown.

But if you go to certain videos on YouTube it is gray again. Is the gray just a consequence of whatever filter they put on?

Is this a watch that is one of those chamelean like colors where it changes depending on the lighting?

Or is the color I saw at the boutique basically the color of this watch, (Light sparkly brown).

The first pic you can see the watch is nearly the color of my skin, lots of brown and thats what i saw in the store with my own eyes basically. the second pic is the omega photo, but some youtube videos show the watch as this color also.... just filters?

Not necesarily filters, just different light temperature. Go to a shop and look at any piece of meat, then compare the same meat outside on daylight, same story. Titanium has a warm hue, but stark cold office light transform it into dull gray.

Not mentioning that the lights in OB are designed to make the watches twinkle, which is nice when they want to convince you to buy the watch. But I would prefer a corner with daylight to see how the watch will look like 90% of the time I wear it 😀

So the watch is indeed gray under certain lighting?

I haven't seen the World Timer in person, but I have a different Ti watch. The normal color of Ti is dull gray and certain warm light (<2700K) can make it look like light brown. Do not judge the watch color from images and/or videos, the active color profile or "night view" (blue color filter) of your display can easily shift the hue in any direction.

I'm saying the color that I see in person is light toffee color. Also I'm not talking about the titanium case/bezel. Actually talking about the sparkly paint that they're using, for the background, between the numbers and the band where the city names are (and also the globe background)

Take it outside to have a look in natural light. I think you better ask permission for the staff first thou...

O omegachiq
do they actually let you do that?

Sure, its only a $15000 watch, whats the worst that could happen? 😉

Last time I looked at Omegas the staffer were no less then half a meter away at all time. Maybe you can take it over to the window.
