MDV® TECHNOLOGY

"Maximum Darkness Visibility®"

This is a special 6-layer application of Lumina applied over a chemical coated white base, causing an incredibly bright luminescent light charge upon exposure to UV light.
MDV® hands and dials are extremely visible in all light conditions for over 8 hours.

All prototypes are done by hand, and the factory replicates the curves, height, and finish (In factory - the lume is applied with a stylograph by machine).

A layer of titanium dioxide white is laid down by rotory print, then 6 layers of lume compound followed by a layer of clear gloss coat. Each step of this unique method must be done very carefully and elegantly so the final effect could be perfect. (Total of 8 LAYERS!)

MDV® technology is a registered trademark from Lüm-Tec and is the best method according to current technology possibilities and Lüm-Tec is still improving it!

All watches are finally tested, packaged and shipped out from Mentor, Ohio - the Home of Lüm-Tec.

 

GX luminous pigments

In the quest for the BRIGHTEST lume and LONGEST lume time as requested by many collectors, Lüm-Tec has a new custom pigment made for them to be used in all 2009 models with C3 lume.

MDV® technology remains unchanged!

This is for the brightest lume, and glows for over 24 hours! The grain size is 15-20um, so it applies silky smooth like C3. It´s equal in color (slightly more white when dried), grain size, brightness, and application ease to Tritec grade A C3, and it has a longer afterglow effect - brighter glowing than standard Tritec C3.

Lüm-Tec GX luminous pigments will be applied in all 2009 models instead C3 ( Tritec ) .
