Why did I expect this question?
Lume shot of the black watch I posted above:



ISO 200, 30 sec exposure @ f/8, have a look how fast it fades on the second hand.

Also see the grainy appearance of the lume in the dial markers. My assumption is that either the wrong binder was used, or the mixture was not homogenized enough. Lume on the markers fades fast - after 30 minutes it's gone.

The hands and bezel dot are pretty nice glowing in the beginning, but after about 1 hour barely visible.

Not an "all-night" watch.

For comparison a lume shot of a Fortis Pilot Pro Day/Date - same exposure (ISO 200, 30 sec @ f/8). Apart from being much brighter it lasts for hours on the Fortis.
