Hi Don…been hard pressed finding the right full lume watch. I wonder why not many watch brands has them. Anyways, roughly how long the lume lasts? can you still see the lume the next morning?
Hey Jeff. No it will not last all night. No lume paint does. It will last roughly 4-5 hours. If you want all night lume look to tritium tubes or electro luminescence like a gshock or MTM special ops.
Don, I beg to differ with your comment on watch lume. I have a bunch of watches whose lume lasts me through the night, and I try never to purchase a watch that I won’t be able to read at 0400. My Chopard Mille Miglia has amazing lume. So does my much less expensive Armida A1. Of course, the lume will weaken during the night, but I can still see it six hours later. It depends largely on how many layers of lume have been applied to hour markers and hands, as I think most manufacturers use Superluminova, C1 being the best. However, I have a Kobold Large Soarway Diver with BGW9 lume, and it holds its own almost as well as the Chopard. Another good watch for strong, lasting lume is the Omega Planet Ocean. IWC’s Aquatimer watches also have amazing and beautiful lume with good lasting power. That’s just my two-cents on lume. Thanks.
