Brandon Skinner's original post sparked a fascinating discussion on the unique appeal and practicalities of fully lumed watch dials. His initial query, showcasing a striking Longines with both a lumed dial and lumed indices, invites collectors to consider the aesthetic and functional differences of such designs. This article synthesizes community insights into the longevity, design nuances, and overall experience of these highly visible timepieces.
My Monday did not close strong unfortunately. Market in technology company equities is very weak!
That’s your TAG with full lume dial, correct? How do you like having a dial like that at night? Awesome or maybe too much? I’ve never had one and am very curious.
I found the lume quite short-lived, maybe an hour and it’s gone. The markers at 12-3-6-9 last longer, perhaps 2 hours. It is quite bright and really mezmerizing to view. I wish they had a smaller version with the calibre 5. The strap has a bad design, with the excess strap tucked inside the strap, which make it uncomfortable. I had snipped off the excess strap due to this, and the metal link scrapes against my skin. They should have the excess strap outside the strap, secured by a loop instead.
I had the hotrod out today. Super windy on the coast. Rolex Daytona Zenith
Hot Rod and Daytona is a fantastic combo!
While the indices have a thicker amount. I can’t think of another watch that has a fully Lumed dial and fully Lumed indices. Usually the indices are solid and the Lumed dial does all the work... at least that’s what I’ve seen (below is an example from Damasko). Thanks for sharing.
