DIY Watchmaking Kit | 42mm Dive Watch with Full Lume Sandwich Dial (Seiko NH35 movement):

This is definitely one of the brightest lumed dive watches in the market.

To get the best nighttime legibility, we utilized a full lume dial for this watch. This new D03 dial is a sandwich dial with green lume backing for the green hour markers, and a FULL LAYER of Japanese BGW9 (Nemoto formula) for the top layer.

The clear black lines and the PVD watch hands also ensure clear legibility after you spend hours in the dark.

We also want this watch to look great in the daytime. That's why we chose the tried-and-true black ceramic bezel and added an orange second hand for just the right amount of color highlight.

The watch begs to go on an adventure with you. The 20ATM watch case and the parachute strap will make sure you can comfortably take this watch anywhere.

We strongly recommend this add-on for this kit: DWC UV Flashlight for Lume shot – DIYWATCH Club
