The Breitling Watch Source Forums

Out of curiosity. How long does a "full charge" last on the hands? If i leave the watch under a light for 8 hours lets say, can I expect the lume to last 8 hours? What is a full charge? I imagine it isn't a minute of charge to a minute of lume. But I was just curios, as I am sitting here at my desk with the light on directly above my wrist and the lume is shining bright.

Not quite that scientific. SuperLuminova doesn't need a bright light to charge, regular daylight is enough. After a bright light it will shine brighter and then fade somewhat but a normal day of wearing will kep the lume visible through the night.

Breitling lume isn't the greatest because there are fewer coats applied than some brands but a lot of the perceived lack of lume is actually caused by eyes not adjusted to the dark.

Thanks for the info Roff. Makes sense. After reading your response I now recall seeing that somewhere else on here.
