I had the white face iteration. It’s very well made however there is no lume.

Paul68Paul68: I have the same one, and I too thought there was no lume. The truth is that there is no practical lume. Get out a loupe and look at the center of the hands, the rectangle on the seconds hand, and the center of the chapter ring pips. There is lume, but it is black lume. Different colors of lume have differing levels of light. Black lume has an almost useless level of light. And it doesn't last that long either.
Test it by shining a flashlight on it for half a minute or so, and then going into a completely dark room. You will not see the lume unless the room is pitch dark.
One thing that I can say though is that a white face with black hands is pretty easy to read at night if there is any ambient light at all, a fire escape sign somewhere in the room for instance, or a moon, or even if Jupiter or Venus are out!
