What lume does Hampden use?

Hampden Watches use Super-LumiNova, a non-radioactive and nontoxic luminescent material, to make the dial glow in low light.

"Lume", or luminescence, refers to a material's ability to emit light after being exposed to sunlight or artificial light. In the past, watch lume used toxic radium. Super-LumiNova is completely safe.

Super-LumiNova does not age, and it can glow over and over again whenever it's activated by light. Expose your watch to sunlight or indoor light, then step into the dark, and the dial will glow, helping you read the time anytime.

That gives your Hampden watch functionality, safety, and long-lasting luminescence.
