SUPER LUMINOVA
Super-LumiNova® - High Performance Phosphorescent Pigments - also called "photo-luminescent" or "afterglow" pigments, these are the most common used, non-radioactive and non-toxic alternative for illuminating markings on timepiece dials and hands in the dark.
Unlike tritium, SuperLuminova needs to be charged by light to give an afterglow, thus illuminating the face of a watch in the dark.
These pigments operate like a light battery. After sufficient activation by sunlight or artificial light, they glow in the dark for many hours. Larger markings guarantee full legibility for the whole night.
The COMMANDO collection needs to be exposed to daylight or artificial light for recharging the fluorescent material. On the other hand, Patented system (LLT) uses glass tubes filled with phosphor powder and tritium gas. This tubes glow permanently for up to 25 years with absolutely no charging necessary. Also, Super LumiNova's activation and subsequent light emission process can be repeated again and again, and the material does not suffer any ageing, while LLT loses intensity over the years.

Our Inspiration
The Lockheed Martin F-117 Nighthawk was the world’s first aircraft invisible to radar. Theory had postulated that radar beams could be reflected by a series of carefully angled triangular panels, and in reality the unconventional alien-looking aircraft proved to be one thousand times less visible than any other aircraft ever created. Although retired in 2008, the F-117 Nighthawk became the basis for the design of subsequent stealth fighters, including the F-22 Raptor and the F-35 Lightning II.Kevlar Strap
The F-117 Nighthawk comes with a black buckle and a black Kevlar strap in 23 mm.All straps with the same lug width fit the watch.
