This watch Lume is just on fire

You just cannot beat the Lume on a explorer 2. One is inside my office with lights off other is in my warehouse dark. So great.

Many watches owned over the years and I can say without hesitation that Ball watches provide what should be the industry standard for lume on watches. Unbelievable and no comparison to much of anything else on the market.Just my humble 2 cents and experience as a watch lover!

I've heard great things about Ball lume. Only issue is they use tritium tubes if I'm not mistaken. Problem with tritium is it has an expiration date. Definitely looks beautiful while it lasts though.

I didn’t say expected it to Stay like that. It is very impressive compared to other pieces I own or have owned. I think the Lume is really a joke sometimes not even working. But it is great to look at when it does

yep my explorer II lume is the brightest by far even more so than my PAM. The Pam lasts longer though.

It looks really striking against the white dial and in darkness, if well charged, the lumes will actually light up the Polar dial. More important, 12 hours later I can still read the time in a dark room. Impressive.

Seiko Orange Monster is king of lume, Brightness and longlevity is on another level.

yep.

although of all rolex models the Ex2 (42mm) probably has the best effect.

Tudor lume is ludicrous. Amazing. Which shows they know how to do it correctly. They don’t care...
