| Video Discription | For some folks, "Lume" is a primary feature for the watches they want to own. For me, it's not as big of a concern but I certainly enjoy it when a watch has great glow-in-the-dark capabilities. My Casio watches aren't particularly expensive and the quality of the luminescent material isn't top-notch either. But I don't have a lot of complaints. If I expect to depend on seeing a watch when it's dark around me I'll just choose one of my digital watches which has a great light built into it. The primary reason I wanted to make this video was that I was just plain fascinated by the yellow-orange lume on my newest purchase, an AWGM100 watch from the 2020 Fire Package collection. This is the first watch I have with a lume that isn't primarily green or greenish-blue. And I thought it was pretty cool. So I gathered up all of my watches with any kind of lume and put them all together in one video. In the past, some higher-end watches used radioactive materials like radium and tritium to help the lume stay nice and bright under any conditions without the need to "charge" the glow-in-the-dark material using some other light source. Today, it seems that the best lume is based on material called LumiNova or Super-LumiNova. Rolex uses a version of LumiNova which they call Chromalight. The ingredients are based on strontium aluminate which is nontoxic and, of course, non-radioactive. It works about the same way that glow-in-the-dark material worked on the toys you probably had when you were a child, but the material will glow brighter and for a longer duration. It would appear that the future of lume is getting brighter all the time (literally). But, of course, the lume on my current batch of Casio watches is still not that superior. It's fine with me anyway. [sGWW5E_vZKQ] |
