Chris, have you come up with a name yet, for the new lume technology you are going to be doing with the Abyss and cut out dial? If the rest of the collections have Maximum Darkness Visibility, would these be the "Turn Night Into Day" models?

What's the new mantra?

I like "FDL" for "Filled Dial Luminescence." :thumbup:

 

[Luminated]

I much prefer "DL" for "Daylight Luminescene" but my personal favourite is "FUL" for "F***ing Unbelievable Luminescene" :thumbup:

 

[Ladd Gardner]

The only problem with "Daylight Luminescence" is that the untutored folks who are new to the world of watches/watch collecting might think, "Yeah -- but I want something that glows in the dark, too!" :confused1:

How about "Keep your Wife awake at night" Lum?

Like to tap my wife on the shoulder, after charging my 300M with my EagleTech 700 lumen LED flashlight, and hold the dial out for her to see in the dark. It's one of the many benefits of being married to me; something not every wife gets to share.

^LOL. You're my brother from another mother.

We've been married for 40 years, so I continually skate pretty close to the edge. I'm kinda like Evel Knievel, only without the fountain, the motorcycle, or the $. :lol:

Something simple, and really meaningful: "EQUINOX" -- as in equal day and night. You know it makes sense :laugh:

I want to know more about whats going on under the dial. I know that having the lume stick out will charge it better than the recessed sandwich dials because it will be hit from all angles but how much light can possibly be bouncing around under the dial? I could see if the dial had holes or slits to let in outside light but it's hard to imagine charged blocks of superlummie throwing off enough light to keep themselves glowing signifigantly longer through reflection. Then again I'm not really sure exactly how this tech works.

I also wonder if the raw performance of superluminova has improved since the start of the company?

How about for names, Recessed Sandwich Dial for the old ones and Protruding Sandwich Dial for the new tech. This way you don't have to interpret marketing slogans.

I didn't know it glowed in the day, any pics of that? Hard to imagine any superluminova looking like it's glowing in the day without being charged in the last 5 minutes.

I want to see picture of the new dial from a user.
