Will a Black Light Cause Fading on a Watch Face?

Hi, recently I went to a club that had black lights all over the place and I wore my Heuer Carrera. It looked really cool with the black light as it light up the orange hand and luminesent markers. I was concerned it may cause damage to the face, fading etc. The black light produces UV rays if i am not mistaken, right? Can any one shed some light on this, has anyone had any experiences similar? I tried to keep the watch under my sleeve and only check the time periodically because I was not sure if it could cause similar damage as the sun does to watch faces. I hope to hear back from you.
thank you
