I currently have it on a black and grey 'Nato' strap which is broadly similar but suits it even better.

As the name suggests the titanium model features a full titanium case, which gives it more of a warm hue. Inizialmente ero scettico sull'effettiva luminosità del quadrante, ma dopo solo 5 minuti alla luce del sole, appena andato al buio, il quadrante si è illuminato moltissimo. In the Pool and Shower it performed as expected - without any talking points - the Dial was very legible under water and even at oblique angles. Plastic band watches have a casual style, giving them a laid-back appearance that can be worn for any occasion. However, if some of the small issues were addressed then, as the OP mentions, this could be a much more expensive watch for which people would happily pay.

Das Alleinstellungsmerkmal dieser Uhr (im Vergleich zu vielen anderen Uhren mit Leuchtmasse) ist zum einen die "Lumibrite"-Leuchtmasse, auf die Seiko ein Patent hat.

Weirdly, the older one seems to be more readily available; so that’s the one I’ll be using for this comparison. This Classic Lorus Gents Lumibrite Analogue Quartz Watch with Cream Dial and Brown Leather Strap RXF48AX9 has a PVD gold plated case and is fitted with a quartz movement.In the UK this is an amazingly cheap watch, barely more than a Casio MRW and cheaper than any analogue Timex for example, so for a nicely-finished steel watch with amazing lume it's a very good deal. I today purchased the Lorus RXF41AX7 with Lumibrite dial, a watch another WUS member mentioned on that other thread. Das Quarz-Uhrwerk (vermutlich von SEIKO; Lorus ist nämlich eine "Tochter" von diesem großen japanischen Uhrenhersteller) ist genau genug.

Straps are a personal preference so it's not worth getting into a state about it if it is not to your liking. They help us to know which pages are the most and least popular and see how visitors move around the site. Both watches offer strong water performance, considering they’re not divers; coming in at 100m of water resistance. Since I have the snap back, I will try to pop out the crystal, but I would guess that it may be glued down.

These military watches are generally available with stainless steel designs and are constructed with helpful 3-hand analogue displays for an effortless way to keep track of time down to the second. Bracelets, straps, batteries, glasses and stones are not usually covered under the manufacturer's guarantee. Personally, I don’t need the Lumibrite, as my life isn’t particularly ‘adventurous’, so the other watch offers me more benefits overall. I have to do it though - my one is destined to bear the grey Bond NATO so it can sit proudly next to its brother dressed in the other Bond NATO.
