twofake 0 Posted October 9, 2013 Do the Seiko fans out there agree that Seiko lume rocks! How come all of my Seiko watches glow all through the night and my gen Tag sucks? If Tritec Superluminova is on the best Swiss watches, what is Seiko using for their lume? I have a gen IWC and that does have a beautiful lume but I am saying that Seiko Luke's are great at one twentieth of the cost. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
scorpion 0 Posted October 9, 2013 Its simple - Seiko lume comes from a factory located about 2 mile North of Fukushima. For the past 2.5 years their lume has been the brightest available in all of Japan or in fact worldwide. No one can work out why but a spokesman for Nuclear Operator Tokyo Electric Power Co (Tepco) said its nothing to do with the little issue they are having with their power station.

greg_r 81 Posted October 9, 2013 Seiko's lumibrite and the Super Luminova used by the Swiss manufacturers are essentially the same thing - both licensed from the Japanese manufacturer that developed it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

halcyon 0 Posted October 10, 2013 Nemoto Industry makes and sells luminova. Their factory is not north of Fukushima but south of. So, you can buy and use them in peace. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
