Hi, I have a Superocean II, blue :popo: , and I have noticed that on some of the other members' pieces the lume color seems to be blue. Especially on the black version. Mine is green, is this normal? Thanks.

It's green and is the brightest glowing lume I've every seen. I can even see it glowing in the daylight.

All Breitlings use C1 lume which appears a white in daylight and green in the dark.

Rolex and Omega are the only big mainstream brands that are currently using blue lume on certain watches I think it's C9 lume they use (or something similiar).

They may have changed something. The SOII is the one breitling ive owned that does not have a white lume during the day. It has a yellow/greenish hue to it. The others all have a very white appearance though.
