The same reason dentist's offices are green

So it won't hurt so much when you are stabbed by an extremely sharp tool - this light green is very calming. (also used on Bianchi bicycles)
Also it is a nice light color against which a tiny screw or gear may be readily seen.
I think it's mostly when there are tours coming through that the bench top gets cleaned. This is the Micro Arts studio in one of the Grand Seiko / Credor facilities
Here's a top guy's bench at Shizukuishi, the other Grand Seiko studio
Real working watchmakers' benches are often quite crowded with stuff, so it's not all green like the pictures above. Here's Philippe DuFour's bench when I visited
