Re: Lume
In Response To: Lume ()

I agree, the Aqua Terra is purely a dress watch, and wouldn't be good for any diving activities.

You can actually see the superluminova placed on the watch. The hour hand has a thin line of lume along its centerline, the minute has a triangular spot of lume on the arrow (same with the second hand). The lume on the hour indices are not actually on the indices. They are located at the outer edge of the hour markers on the dial (the little rectangular shaped "boxes").

As you can see, there isn't much illumination on the dial, but in my opinion, that doesn't diminish the watch in any way. Besides it just represents another reason to get more than one Omega!!!!!
