Very. It’s functional though. In my line of work, you’re often in the dark with your hands full. Quick glance legibility is what I was after with this one. But also LORGE statement piece.

I’m really digging the stick style lume plots here.

They’re stupidly bright too. I can put it under a T-shirt in the dark and still see it shining through. Stupid levels of legibility for quick glances in the dark.

That’s awesome man. I don’t know why but bad lume is a major deal breaker for me, especially on 2k+ Swiss watches.

I find it egregious that a $150 heimdallr can offer insane lume that lasts all night, and the big Swiss names often times get away with providing lume that’s complete shit.

I can’t tell you how many watches I haven’t bought solely because the lume sucks on it.

That’s probably not a bad thing though! lol

I have that issue with every SuperLuminova watch that I have, which is part of why I went for this one. All of the applied markers are tritium gas vials, so they glow violently, but only for 10 or 15 years. I have pistol sights one a few of my guns that use the same tritium vials for low light shooting. I love the stuff. Check out the rest of Ball’s line, almost all of their watches use tritium.
