LUMIBRITE
[IF YOUR WATCH HAS LUMIBRITE]
LumiBrite is a luminous paint that is completely harmless to human beings and natural en-
vironment, containing no noxious materials such as radioactive substance.
LumiBrite is a newly-developed luminous paint that absorbs the light energy of the sunlight
and lighting apparatus in a short time and stores it to emit light in the dark.
For example, if exposed to a light of more than 500 lux for approximately 10 minutes,
LumiBrite can emit light for 5 to 8 hours. Please note, however, that, as LumiBrite emits
the light it stores, the luminance level of the light decreases gradually over time. The dura-
tion of the emitted light may also differ slightly depending on such factors as the bright-
ness of the place where the watch is exposed to light and the distance from the light
source to the watch.
