Mondaine Backlight – A Winter Solution

Mondaine backlight

The Mondaine Backlight technology could be perfect for the low-light winter months!

Mondaine Backlight watches have been changing and developing for years, and now we have the latest edition, which could be the perfect for someone who needs to read their watch in the low-light conditions this winter!

The days get shorter and darker through the winter months, meaning that when outside or without lighting, it can be hard to read the time on your wrist watch. Many watches these days come with luminous hands, especially those made for diving or sports, as it helps with viability in the dark. Ball watch company are one of the best for this, with their use of Self-Powered Micro Gas Tubes in the hands and markers of their divers watches, which you can read more about here. But these are expensive watches set up for diving, not everyday wear, which is where Mondaine come in.

The new technology used by Mondaine makes low-light time-telling much easier, creating  a brighter and more easily visible display, without altering the look of the dial, which is the most impressive feature.

The product

The Mondaine Backlight Technology has been created to allow a good level of visibility of the hands at night, without any disturbing visual effect of the design. Producing a brighter level of light without the luminous markers sitting on the hands or hour marks.

Material

Mondaine have used a thin foil, coated with Swiss-made, extra strong Superluminova material that is used frequently within the watch industry, which allows for extra long visibility at night.

How it works

During daytime, the white dial of the watch will reflect light towards the under side of the hands, and charges the luminous foil attached in order to give power for the night time. During the night, the luminous foil releases the light again, illuminating the dial, making time-telling that much easier.

With the winter well and truly here, this could be the perfect investment, or gift, if you find yourself struggling to read the time in the dark!
