Hey guys.
I am really considering the 2007 superocean model (The one withOUT the arrow hand) My only concern is that I love how all the numbers glow at night, but i herad that the breitling lume will fade in a couple of years?
How long will the lume last without fading too much?

All big brand use superluminova and it last as long on breitling as on rolex
This activation and subsequent light emission process can be repeated again and again, and the material does not suffer any ageing.

the oldest watches i haw with superluminova glow as brite as the new
and its approx 15 years difference
the oldest tritium watch i haw that glow is 30year's old
i haw older but they don't glow no more
breitling started to use superluminova in mid -90
rolex was later to adapt this but find the demand to big to withstand

its always like this "my watch brand is grater than yours"
but in this case all hi-end watches use the same thing and therefore
the glow will last the same;-)
