If you want great lume, you'll need a watch with tritium tubes. Everything else fades during the night. Tritium lasts 20-25 years, runs day and night, and never needs "charging" from a light source. Plus, it's replaceable during service decades later, when it starts to fade.

Ball Watches makes some great mechanical models, and most of them have tritium tubes.
