However I believe e.avery has a full lume dial watch on today - the Aristo Dakar (see todays daily wrist check)...

While I really hate to admit it, the only Lume dial I have is an Invicta.  Fortunately, it is one of their early models and they got is right.  A very nice classic case with a coin edge and a reliable Miyota 8215 movement.  If I could just change the name on the dial....and NO....they did not put the name on the case!!!  Come with a rich, brown leather Lorica strap...........$50!!!!

 

And I do luv that Lume Sea Angler!!!

Citizen made a lume dial version of the NY0040 diver, but a quick perusal of the Bay didn't turn any up.
I love my black dial version, nice alternative to my Seikos, and it was cheap!

Good luck!
Griff

P.S.  One of these days I am gonna snag an Orsa, as soon as I get out of the doghouse, yeah, that's it...:?

I love lumn. But, I don't like lumn dials. At least not those with lumn hands. I've sold mine. I found them hard to read as opposed to a good standard lumned dial.

When dial is glowing and the hands are glowing as well it is hard to distinguish between the two. At least I found it so. The lumned dials with all black hands and indicies would be preferable.

Those are the preferable styles. Aristo came out with those about 3 maybe 4 years ago. Still the best lumn dial design.
