I've heard of some still showing at least some glow after 20 years, but lumibrite and superluminova really haven't been around a crazy long time. I don't know if there's been tests done to prove how long it should last in perfect conditions. It will not start emitting a glow until the material is once again exposed to light. . It will not start emitting a glow until the material is once again exposed to light. Eventually (after many many years) the illumination effect wears off within the material itself and it’s only then that you might replace the items that are not responding to light exposure.

I wouldn't be able to perceive it unless it were fully charged, and then I was in near-total darkness and my eyes were adjusted. Conversely, the lume on my Omega Seamaster is intense; it only takes a few seconds to charge, and I can see it glow as soon as I get out of direct light - no darkness or eye adjustment required. When you put your piece under the light or sun or whatever about how long does your glow in the dark function last for? Mine seems to not last too long as I have seem glow in the dark stuff last longer. A key point to bear in mind is this: the dial is still highly radioactive. The phosphor deterioration means you can't see a glow anymore, but radium takes thousands of years to completely decay. Radioactive materials, as they emit radiation, decay to other elements.

I've heard of some still showing at least some glow after 20 years, but lumibrite and superluminova really haven't been around a crazy long time. I don't know if there's been tests done to prove how long it should last in perfect conditions. When I was growing up (many years ago) I always assumed a luminous watch glowed indefinitely, but maybe they did last longer back then due to the materials of the time (now considered slightly harmful) or maybe I just didn't wonder enough about it to actually find out how long they did last.

Numerals, hands, and the luminous dot on the unidirectional rotating bezel glow brightly at night, so legibility is guaranteed for many hours. You can instantly tell which parts of a watch will glow in the dark, owing to the apparent coating of Super-LumiNova or some other luminous material—or ‘lume’—generally on the indexes and hands. I can find matching ones on reputable websites, so not necessarily a fake just because it looks a little sketchy. My first reaction was that the hands are wrong and the date window should be square on a Jupiter, but there are some photos that match yours. If it’s real m, the hands will have lume.

What is it about lume?

More modern systems use Tritium filled tubes, which glow because they contain radioactive gas: the radioactive gas will typically have a half-life of 20-30 years. Thus, the advantage of any tritium dials is that they do not need to be exposed to a bright light to be “charged”: they just glow.

Serial number * 5553596 * dates to 1978 and is engraved in the 6 'o clock position. All numbers match. I have never worn this watch with the Jubilee bracelet, but only on a black crocodile strap with Rolex buckle, which IMHO gives it a more elegant appearance.
