New Genesis line or just new aesthetics? (1 Viewer)

I've just seen on Internet a new aesthetics on the Genesis 44 line, both versions (8.5x44 and 10.5x44) in a different olive green color than usual, and no black parts (with the exception of the "Genesis 44" label on the left barrel):

Is it a new/improved Genesis 44 line or is it just a new aesthetics (new color), keeping the same optics & coatings & mechanics than before?

It seems to be a rendered image, not an actual photo. (So none of the above: neither a new Genesis 44 line nor a new aesthetics.)

What a pity! 😢
It just looks gorgeous in that color! 😭

Here below the answer from Kowa Europe, in Germany:

"Dear Mr. Xxxxxxx,

We did not make any change in the optical or body design.

I guess that this is not a photo, but a graphics."

Thanks for the clarification, but what a pity. That "graphic" is drop dead gorgeous! Kowa should do it.

They have had this graphic for years. The only manufacture to have a graphic that is not representative of what the actual product looks like.
