In Response To: Re: Super-luminova not as good as Tritium ()

Actually, just bought mine a month ago. Dealer said the watch just arrived a couple a days before I bought it from Omega in Switzerland. Pretty sure it's a luminova. Judging by the attached graph image (http://www.breitling.com/eng/tech/habill7.html) comparing the two substances...the Luminova drops off glow-wise after a couple of hours.

: I've got a year-old Seamaster Pro with the
: Super-luminova and it performs just like
: Derek says in the FAQs section. Mine is
: still glowing strong when the sun comes up
: in the morning. I had tritium on my last
: watch (a Rolex Sub) and I'd never go back to
: it again (I'm an insomniac, and check my
: watch several times each night). Is it
: possible you got a NOS watch? Pre-1998 (I
: think) would have the tritium hands and
: markers.
