Lum-Tec M24 tungsten carbide Limited Edition #28/175 like new with all boxes/papers

[Updyke]

For your consideration is a Lum-Tec M24 in full tungsten carbide. With a hardness of approx. 8.5-9 on the Mohs scale, tungsten carbide is comparable in hardness to sapphire & is extremely scratch resistant. By comparison, stainless steel has a hardness of approx. 5-6.5 (depending on formula) on the Mohs scale. Very few items encountered in normal daily use will be able to scratch the polished finish of the M24's tungsten carbide case, with diamonds from jewelry being probably the most common encountered. The M-24 has a water resistance of 100m / 330ft.

In addition to the tungsten carbide case, the M24 has a tungsten carbide bracelet. As a result of the higher density of tungsten carbide, the M24 is substantially heavier than a stainless steel version would be. In fact, with the bracelet the M24 weighs in at 299 grams. However, despite this weight the M24 wears extremely comfortably, on either one of the included straps or the tungsten carbide bracelet.

The heart & soul of every Lum-Tec is Lum-Tec's exclusive Maximum Darkness Visibility (MDV) Technology used to provide superior visibility in dark viewing environments. The MDV process consists of a special 8 layer application of a custom made for Lum-Tec SuperLuminova material. The MDV process starts with a base layer of white titanium dioxide followed by 6 layers of Lum-Tec's custom-made grade A SuperLuminova mixture, then capped off by a final clear varnish layer. On the dial each of the numbers and their hash are MDV treated, and have a raised, 3D effect. The hour and minute hand are large sword-style hands, also MDV treated. The combination of the dial & hand MDV treatment provides outstanding overall visibility of the dial and hands in any lighting condition. The second hand, like the hour & minute hands, is also MDV treated.

The Swiss ETA 2824-2 is a 25-jewel, bidirectional-winding automatic, hacking movement, running at 28,800 BPH with a power reserve of approximately 42 hours. The 2824-2 has been in production for years, and is considered a 'work-horses' caliber that is extremely reliable. The 2824-2 makes the M24 a Swiss-powered timepiece, providing a lot of Swiss-powered watch for the price. As another example of Lum-Tec’s excellent customer service, the M24 comes with free lifetime timing adjustments should one become necessary.

The M24 is no longer made by Lum-Tec. This particular model is #28 of a limited edition of 175.

The watch is in superb condition, with all boxes, papers, the tungsten carbide bracelet, two leather straps, and a rubber strap with all proper buckles. I also ordered a special order see-through back for the case so one can view the Swiss ETA movement. The movement keeps excellent time.

I am asking $845 for this watch. I do not know of any other company that makes a full Tungsten Carbide watch.
