    Here's a free idea for the watch companies who can't seem to stop themselves from issuing watch after watch with phone aged lume.

    How about you work on developing a variant of super-luminova that ages on its own over time?

    Surely there must be something you could add to existing compounds to allow the lume to darken over prolonged exposure to sunlight?

    I believe certain Bond Seamasters had some sort of lume that yellowed over time...

    Yes, it was called tritium.

    My mistake. I thought there was a super-luminova version that yellowed.

    Yup, Omega tritium dials that aren't marked as such confuse a lot of people. omega-omega-seamaster-professional-bond-automatic-300m-blue-dial-watch-25318000-13761448-10-0.jpg omega-speedmaster_reduced-3510_50-late1990s-hqmilton7482-2.jpg
