I saw on youtube that the SeaDweller 116660 is luminated in Blue at night.

I was curious about what color would the Submariner 116613lb, and the GMTii 116713LN glow at night?

The Sub C uses Blue Chromalite lume. The GMTIIC would have the standard Green Superluminova.

One day we may actually get a two-tone green & blue lume combination (I hope)

Something like this by chance?

I think they should all go to blue

I don't get/like the dual lume color...looks like they are mismatched like they used the wrong hands/dial together. LOL

Why does the DSSD has blue lume? Why not keep the green?

Is the DSSD the only ROLEX with a blue lume?

thanks,

More legible? All Deepsea and Sub have blue lume.

Maybe it has to do with the loss of colour underwater. Blue is visible to a greater depth than green.

"Blue light at a *lower* illumination is actually better, providing more color "information" per degree of illumination"

JJL · 18 January 2013, 07:17 AM

While we are on the topic, what color does regular Sea Dweller have? I would assume green, but do the later production models have blue by any chance?

Here is a GREEN one "M" serial.

Anyone happen to have a shot of the new 42 Explorer ii's lume? I'm getting tired of waiting on mine to arrive!

gpo1956 · 18 January 2013, 11:13 AM

Honestly, the lume, on the GMT IIC anyway, is not good enough to worry about too much. Even fully charged it is nowhere near as bright as on the Omega.

OttoDog · 18 January 2013, 12:05 PM

For lume, try a Ball.....

LuminousMaximus · 19 January 2013, 12:02 AM

Thanks for all the pics, esp kilyung. That really helps out a lot.

I'm not one to pick a watch simply for the color of it's lume, but if all other variables are in it's favor, then of course it would help it over the fence...

I have driven many BMW products in my past but mostly M products, and I have ruled out entire Brands for the color of their informational display. I'm sure most of you know that the BMW GLows red. Therein lies the issue. A red glow on my Rolex would be most desired, and since only Blue and Green exist on my Favorite watch Brand, I will now have to make a consession about color...lol
