I believe it's green because it's heritage is A British company who moved to Geneva. British love green. I can't explain past that but I know all the British cars have a green choice and they are of the same deep green color and is branded as "British Racing Green"

It's originally a 1680 that Jocke modded. He did a great step-by-step thread on how he did it:

Looks awesome on the blue rubber, Jocke! Great choice putting the two-tone clasp on it, too.
