New Speedmaster Patina

Hi Everyone

I am looking to buy a new speedmaster professional hesalite and was wondering if it will patina similar to the watches from the last 30 years.

Thank You

No, the current day luminova does not age and turn yellow like tritium. But on the other hand faux patina is used on some Omega models for an aged look.

Could the new Luminova discolor as it ages? Maybe, but most likely not in our lifetime.
