Just picked up a beige dial Vietnam era Orsa military style watch. I really like this one, but I am wondering about the lume on the hands and face. The lume seems to dim greatly after just a short amount of time. I only have one other watch with lume and it is a Traser with tritium so I know my point of view is a little skewed, but I was wondering what is considered normal on this watch in terms of lume brightness and duration. |

I don't think you'll need a relume. That is the way these Orsa miltarys are... I have found my lume to be persistent over time though not dazzling... |

Sounds normal to me. Bright at first, hands brighter than pips, dulls rapidly but readable in dark situations for a long while. |

Thanks for the replies. Sounds like everything is normal. Too bad it does not stay bright. It is blazing when I first charge it under light. Orsa military + tritium would be great. Cool watch though! |

Same experience as Paxman's. Lume not overly bright throughout the night, but readable. |

Just my opinion but I think there is nothing wrong with the low lume of the Orsa. The low lume is what I think Orsa envisioned it to be for this military model watch. Imagine the night time risk to a patrol or squad if their Orsa military watches had lumes that could light up a runway.face4.gif When I was a teen, I had a Hammy that was Vietnam issue and its lume was nothing we'd be happy about today. Now in hindsight, I realize why Orsa's lume may have been purposely toned-down. |

Yup, I agree. You hardly wear it, Mark. I think since I joined in April 2009, this is the first time you have posted it. It's such a classic watch that will never fade. I make a mental note of all your watches --- as well as most of the watches of almost all the regular 3T. I can even tell whose posting it is even by hiding the avatars on my screen  . The watch, the photo style --- I can already tell .Nice watch, Mark. Wear it in good health. |
