In today's fast-paced world, having a watch that offers exceptional readability in low-light conditions is essential. Our watches incorporate a range of cutting-edge technologies to enhance our low-light readability and ensure that you can easily tell the time, no matter the lighting conditions.

The BackLight technology was patented by us at Mondaine Watch Ltd. and it allows you to read the time in low light. The BackLight technology is represented by a foil filled with high Super-LumiNova® material which is glued to the backside of the hour and minute hands. The Super-LumiNova® is passively charged through the dial.

Super-LumiNova® or “afterglow“ pigments are a non-radioactive and non-toxic alternative for illuminating markings on timepiece dials and hands 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.
