We All Love Lume...

I thought I'd start with a post about lume, as we all love it. So, let's share some of our favourite lume shots from watches in our collections.

Here's one of my favourites to get the ball rolling. 

The Heimdallr Kanagawa Great Wave

Don't we all, not got any lume shots to hand but my favourite so far are my San Martin and the Seiko samurai I reviewed a while back. Both awesome.

My favorites would be (And these are not my shots)... First is from Watchtime https://www.watchtime.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/05/MeisterSinger_Stratoscope_dark_lume_1000-1024x642.jpg and second is from Horologium https://i.postimg.cc/xdQ3Hzj1/SIHH2016-ALSGrande-Lange1-Moonphase-Lumen6.jpg

Sir, you are now my favorite human being!  That lume is amazing!!!

I was gearing up to spend $2k on a C1 Worldglown just for the lume:

Instead, I went to your YT review of the Heimdallr, clicked on the link to the watch, and just ordered it.  With the $1,824 I just saved, I'm going to buy 121 packages of these glow in the dark dinosaur stickers off of Amazon (only $15 per package):

By the way, check out this lume watch:

Not mine, obviously, given that it's a limited edition and sells for roughly $16k over my budget.  But, the coolest use of lume I've ever seen in a watch!

Here's a photo I took during a full moon. I brought out my pocket UV light and shined it on the tritium for a few seconds (hour/minute/chronosecond hands are replacement superluminova hands)

ImageMy Swordfish looks pretty good when lit.

The new Ark from SWC is an absolute torch of a field watch.

One more. This one supposedly has "Blue C3" on it, not BGW9. It's surprisingly potent. The "Artico" from Squale x Whatawatches.

I've not seen a lumed strap before. Very interesting.

Which Omega is this? For the life of me, I can’t place which model has

  • Lumed bezel
  • Rectangular batons
  • Sword hands

Looks awesome!
