LUME DIAL ref. U1-FL

 

Some watches shine brighter than others; we all know that. And that doesn’t necessarily have to be attributed to copious amounts of gems or a superbly polished case.

It can also be the result of the amount and application of luminescent material. And this, quite literally, can make a watch shine brighter than any diamond, especially at night!

UNIMATIC embodies excellence, with every step towards the creation of its timepieces rooted in this commitment to quality. That’s why each UNIMATIC watch showcases the exceptional glow of Super-LumiNova®.

 

 

“The production of luminous pigments for the watch industry has a long tradition in Switzerland. From the use of radium to today’s benchmark for top quality: Swiss Super-LumiNova®Grade X2, free of any radioactivity. The development went and continues to go in great strides. Today, all exclusive Swiss watch brands use our Swiss Super-LumiNova® pigments, which are 100% manufactured in our family-run company based in Switzerland.”

Selection of decay characteristics

 

Initial high brightness: this material has steep decay curve with a high brightness in the beginning, but less performance on the long term.

Long lasting: this type of material has a flat decay curve with lower brightness in the beginning, but an outstanding performance in the long time range.

The Mass of pigment applied on the dial or hand influences the primarily brightness: each crystal works like a little “light battery”: the more batteries you apply, the higher the light storage capacity will be. In practical use this means: larger areas and thicker layers of luminous deposits will strongly improve brightness and legibility. This can be achieved for example by deeper engraving.
Intense body colors can decrease the bright-ness significantly. We test your samples and will advise you on how to improve the bright-ness of your deposits.
