5205 moon + stars colour question.

Hi everyone quick Question - been very keen on this model as of late and I’ve noticed from some listing the colour of the moon and stars is different at the bottom of the dial, is this a newer/older model or does it happen between night/day? Photos attached.

This article explains why there are two moons on the moon disc.

Very interesting topic!

Have checked it on my 5205G-010 dial - dead center the moon disc appears to be black with grey highlights. From up close and slightly angled the disc seems to be a very dark blue. From usual distance it appears to be black again. Hence, not much disturbance whilst wearing it.
