Question 1

does this watch have super luminova on hand and indecies?

Accepted Answer

Lets try to clarify this discussion. I did a great deal looking into the Lume of watches.  The lume on this watch  is Super-Luminova BGW9. It is the second brightest of this luminous compound and it is always Blue in Color. The Brightest is the X1 Grade Super-LumiNova C3.  The C3 is always green Lume. Although the Green is Brighter, it is just just a very small amount brighter. These 2 are the brightest and there are many more below these 2. Here are the 2 most important things to consider (in my opinion). 1. Color Preference of Lume 2. How much Lume has been applied to the watch. This Phoibos watch does not indicate how much and that would concern me. I just purchased the Reef Edition which are currently sold out. Looks very similar to $180 PX002B shown in Blue. However, I opted for the Reef edition for 2 Reasons. Even though the Reef Edition is $259, it is an automatic. You can wind it but you do not need to if you continuously wear it. It self winds with your wrists movement. If you take it off for a day or two you can wind it about 25 times, or you can shake it until it begins to run and which point you can put it on and it will not stop after it starts. Here is the key to everything that you should know. Mine is coated with the Super-Luminova BGW9 which is always blue. However, when you are reading the Specifications of this watch and it gets to the Lume, the Reef version that I have actually says it has 15 Layers of the BGW9. That more that anything else is the game changer. My other watches can be put under a bright light for 15 minutes and within a few minutes, the Lume fades to nothing. Everyone is familiar with that. I wore my watch all day and I kept it on all night. I woke up at around 4am and I could easily tell the time in the dark. It will eventually fade away, usually in about 8 hours but mine was still easy to read after 5 hours when I woke up at 4am. The watch with the Blue Face for $180 is the C3 so it will be Green. The price kind of gives it away. It is a Quartz battery watch, and it does not say how many layers were applied. If they had put 15, they would be proud of it and let you know. Therefore, even though itis the Brightest Lume of all. You will have to have to test it yourself to see if you get 15 minutes of Lume, an hour, or some other time frame. I wanted to know for sure so I went with the 15 layer option. Good Luck. By the way, everything about the Reef is class personified. Everything about it feels and looks like a very expensive watch. Instead of tapping the pins out to remove them and size the watch which is typical, this watch actually makes you unscrew each one that you want to remove and screw it back in. High Quality! Very rare to get all of the superior options this watch has for under $600 or more. Phoibos just does not have the reputation as other watches but they will soon and they will double in price or more. I feel fortunate.
