Nice pics! I was pleasantly surprised by the lume on the Speedy. However, the lume on my POC is another level. I love the dual lume color on their divers.

Pretty much Omega and Panerai are the lume kings.

Nice shot. I think Omega has always done a better job with lume. Rolex makes a great watch but some of their marketing terms are a little nauseating "chromalight", "oyster steel", "super case", "maxi dial", "cerachrom bezel" .. It all sounds ridiculous but it must be working haha.

I actually found the best lume from Omega to be on their older watches like the 2254 or 2500 series Planet Ocean.

I still haven't seen better lume than Seiko though!

They’re good, for sure, but far from being kings of that realm.
Go spend time in the dark with a Ulysse Nardin Marine Diver (or Dual Time 243-55), a Lum-Tec, or even some Seikos.

Great shots! They really do have a lot of watches with great lume, as showcased very nicely in this thread. I’ve always liked the precise and sharp lume of the Speedy.
