SMP 300M Chronometer 212.30.41.20.01.002...blue or green lume?

Trying to get confirmation on the lume color for this model.

Thanks in advance!

Thanks Chris, I really like the blue...the 2220.80 is still green lume, correct?

That's correct, they only did the blue lume on the black dials for that generation of SMP

My feeling is that they hadn't developed it in time for the launch of the 2220.80 - the first time it appeared on an SMP, off the top of my head, was the previous James Bond L.E. (the one with the gloss black dial and red 007 counterweight), which came out a while afterwards. They have, of course, gone with blue lume on all of their dive watches now, with the minute hand and bezel pearl in green. Looks great when it lights up

Omega lume is the best, it's like living on the sun out here
