LÜM-TEC

Frequently asked questions related to LÜM-TEC

LÜM-TEC is from Mentor, city of Ohio, United States of America (U.S.A.)

 

This is a trademarked 8 layer luminous application process that ensures that all Lüm-Tec dials will glow to their maximum potential. First, a chemical coated white base is applied. This is followed by 6 layers of photo-luminescent pigment applied by a specialized stylograph machine. With a simple charge from light, the dials will produce an incredibly bright illumination that will remain very readable all throughout the night.

 

MDV® technology is the best method according to current possible luminescent technology and Lüm-Tec is still improving it!

All LÜM-TEC watches come with original manufacturer's 1-year valid warranty card and a signed certificate of authencity.

We will try to get your requested serial number, however, subjected to availability. Please note that choosing serial numbers will cause delay in shipment.

Chances are the model is not available to Watch:Werkz, and that's why we did not list them. However, feel free to contact us and check on stock availability.

Yes,we can. However, a nominal fee (usually to cover freight and insurance charges) applies. Any parts replacement and repair services due to user's fault will be charged accordingly. 

If your LÜM-TEC was bought from gray market dealers, we do apologize that we cannot offer service on them.

Essentially, it is akin to asking why buy a Prada or Louis Vuitton in Singapore and not from Italy? 

 

First of all, Watch:Werkz strongly encourage all users to buy their LÜM-TECs from recongized and reputable authorized dealers only. 

 

Next, buying from Watch:Werkz typically means that we will cover all the hassle of after-sales service (usually we cover all freight charges associated with repair works required. Yes! All LÜM-TEC watches are sent back only to LÜM-TEC authorised service centre)
