From my observation, the new Triton has slightly better lume overall.
In particular the orange lume on the quarter hour markers is much better, and the 5 minute hash marks is a bit better as well. I suspect because it is slighter bolder.
The hands appear about equal, and ironically the old lume pip on the bezel, being nice and thick, is brighter than the flush mounted triangle in the new bezel.
One thing to notice is that the date window on the new Triton is lined in Orange lume and shows up nicely, while the old date window was not lined.
Here they are side by side after a minute or so of charging; the new Triton is on the left, the old one on the right.
Here is a closer shot of the new one...
And a closer shot of the old one....
As far as the bracelet...the good news is that the bracelet is "scheduled" to arrive in about a month. I have said it before and will say it again; the Swiss make great watches but sometimes not great time, meaning we do not have a firm date yet.
The bad news is that the new Triton has slightly different lugs, and so the bracelet will NOT fit the old Triton. I don't know if any of you were interested in obtaining one for an older model, but I wanted to give you a heads up.
