Im pretty new here as my post count shows as well as the subject matter of said previous posts but i have a question that i cant seem to find the answer to neither here nore google is much help so i want to see what yall have to say.
I would like to know what watch has the brightest and longest lasting luminosity weather its a Gen or a Rep it doesnt matter. And if possible i would like to see a picture of it or get a link to it.
Thanks in advance!!
Hit it with a 500 lumen flashlight or any uv lamp and it will be ultrabright for 5 to 15 minutes, shine for 2 hours and be readable (glim) all night long in a dark room. Panerai and Rolex are very good, Blancpain Fifty Fathoms is one of the best.
Timex indiglo :lol:

Gen seamaster 2254.50 always stands out as one of if not THE brightest I've ever owned.

Lum-Tec
Ball
Ulysses Nardin Maxi Marine Diver ... the older models ... have these thick as muffins lume plots

Quoted from an article "Ultimately the strength of the luminous layer comes down to the watchmaker and how many layers they decide to paint on to their timepieces such as the Lum-Tec team using up to 8 layers on their watches."
"The C3 Superluminova tops the group at 100% relative brightness and gives off a green/yellow colour. The next closest is the BGW9 which is the light blue lume that we have come to know."
There is some funky lume mixer I have seen out there lately ... there are probably one of two guys that have used it in dials
I have been most impressed with the Pams
My gen Planet Ocean 600m master chrono is readable all night without having to be subjected to any out of the ordinary lighting.
It’s really handy, no need for a horrible bright and distracting bedside clock.
Ball and all things tritium.
Out of interest, what's your desire for this particular watch?
Best of luck on your search
Any watch using tritium tube will glow approximately 12.5 years, then start to fade from then on. Superluminova and Chromalite pretty much will glow the whole night provided your eyes also adjust in the dark with it, meaning, you get in bed and wake up early morning when your eyes have not been exposed to any light yet.
I know this probably sounds ridiculous, but my Seiko turtle diver automatic shines so bright at night you could probably read from it.
