The Full Lume is Rising in WatchCrunch

It always looks great when freshly charged up.

But a better example is a time lapse version when they are shown

1-fully charged (as in this example)

2- after an hour

3- after 4 hours

4-after 8 hours

After 8 hours we can separate the champs from the pretenders.

Not a test. Just wanting to see other watches lumed up.

Cheers!

Took this last night by coincidence!

Any guesses on the make and models?

Too east I know!?

I'm not a diver and never was. But I do appreciate a good lume. Doesn't need to be over the top, doesn't need to light up a room. But I need it to be visible after a few hours, even if it would require bringing the watch 3 inches off my face. I am not impressed with multi-shade lumes that look awesome for 20 minutes and die shortly after. So far, Cronos L6005 takes the cake. Quite bright at the beginning (not as bright as some Seikos) and even after 4-5h I can still read the time in pitch-black room.

Longest lasting lume in my collection is Wise Adamascus AD8, here it is after almost 10 hours. Note on the right is Seiko SRP777. Despite its reputation, Seiko lume is far inferior to Citizen, some Chinese watch and this micro brand.

By far the brightest after exposure to light is Cronos LM6002, it's like nuclear power plant and it can last easily through the night (third from the left)

Love your Cronos! Thank you for sharing.

Cheers!

I'll guess Phoibos (The Great Wall?) and Tudar (Pelagos).

Cheers!

Wow that's one lit pilots watch! Is this an Aliexpress purchase?

Cheers!

Hi John. Yes, it's a San Martin 39mm Flieger from AliExpress. They claim that the lume is C3 Super - LumiNova.

Almost! Yes tudor Pelagos ( I think the snowflake gives it away) the other is the Phoibos Apollo version 3. A great watch with lume that gives the tudor a run for

its money!

Really nice lume display. Thanks

Cheers 🍻

Love your taste in watches.

I'm probably getting repetitive with my zelos, but I love it.

That's a great pic and the lume is outstanding. I love Zelos. They do reallygood work with lume on their dials and bezels. I have the Spearfish Burnt Orange Dial.

Shine on and 🍻

Phoibos is an excellent brand and uses lume really well.
