I'd like to be able to afford a watch with quality lume. It's so cool to look down and see it glowing. My Citizen just doesn't have much staying power.

Of the pieces I have, my Seamaster is best in this respect.

Big chunky hands and markers, 2 tone lume.

Give it 10mins of bright sun and it'll glow brightly enough to see even under domestic lights. In the winter, an hour or so under your typical office lighting keeps it glowing well enough to be legible all night.

Here's mine. I didn't wear it today, so it's been sat on the winder. Not a bad performance for a couple hours of light exposure to an overcast sky and 6 hours in the dark.

That's cool!

How long does that last?

How long does that last?

That bright or duration you can clearly read it? Duration, all night. Bright, haven’t timed it, but I guess a few minutes until duration point.

I figured it faded a bit but yeah I was more wondering how long it's easily visible. By early morning the lume on my Citizen's is very faded. I've always wondered about the visibility of better watches in the same duration after a normal days exposure. Watch reviews usually only show the lume right after the lights go off.

Not as elegant as many of the others we have seen here, nevertheless the Expedition is putting in the work.

Fantastic piece. I was wondering how long it would take for someone on this thread to get one. Tudor is on top of the game lately.

I'll be the guinea pig. The watch is actually a great watch for everything, short of casual dress/dress. It's lighter than it looks and wears easy on the wrist. The only weak point is the strap. It's quality and nice enough, but will not hold up to what a what like this will be put through. I took it off and through on an elastic paratrooper style strap. They are the easiest to deal with and very comfortable.

I would recommend this watch to anyone who wants a Ti, 200m, travelers GMT

Looks great. It's got me thinking about selling my standard Pelagos and getting one of the GMT's

The answer is always both.
