Seamaster SMP help

It’s a matter of taste, but I personally think SuperLuminova looks better on the “Bond” iterations of the SMP. But if you prefer Tritium, you go for it!

Be aware that usually with these the colour fade on the tritium dial lume plots and hands is noticeably different, with the dial going pumpkin and the hands staying rather more green. This is pretty universal and to me the mismatch grates so I prefer the later SL lume (which as noted above will continue to do its job indefinitely). If you find an example with matching tritium lume then that would certainly be worthy of consideration but there really aren't many. Note the tritium one you show above has had the picture brightness pumped, I bet in hand there is a big difference between hands and dial colour.

On the lume I would honestly just consider how important the function of it is to you - you'll get next to nothing out of tritium at this point whereas superluminova should still be working fine. Unless you particularly prefer the look of the tritium I would go superluminova.

The superluminova does look a bit more crisp as well.

I have always preferred SL over tritium for this reference. For reasons padders said above but also, because too me, each tritium indice looks like mini sunny side up eggs and I can’t unsee that, lol.
