This watch is a "Speed chrono" and offcourse, the lume is weak as most of those watches...
I don't think that the lume of a cosmograph blow your head off...
It's not a diving watch who needs high vision in trouble waters.
Edox also made some limited serial chronos inspired by an offshore racing boat called : "Spirit of Norway" LE 388 pieces.

Your watch is builded on the same way except that it's a tricompax(3.6.9)oriented chrono, quartz.
See the offshore speed-boat propeller on your back case.
So to resume: It's a water driving-sport chrono...
Your dial got the same surface texture as some other Edox models told to be made of carbon-fiber: I don't think that Edox would risk to annonce that if it was in fact only a plastic designed surface. Edox is not Bernoulli...
Also I think that carbon fiber don't need to look like the classical raw surface you mostly know: It can certainly be shaped, molded or printed in different ways...I'm not an expert in that, but just guessing.
You got yourself a great sports quartz chrono of high quality: Get ready for the next boat racing in Dubai
