Hampden Watches use Super-LumiNova, a premium, non-radioactive, and nontoxic luminescent material, to make the dial glow in low light.

“Lume” or luminescence refers to a material’s ability to emit light after being exposed to sunlight or artificial light. In the past, watch lume used toxic radium, but Super-LumiNova is completely safe and of the highest quality.

Super-LumiNova does not age, and it can glow over and over again whenever it’s activated by light. Simply expose your watch to sunlight or indoor light, and step into the dark - the dial will glow beautifully, helping you read the time anytime.

This ensures your Hampden watch combines functionality, safety, and long-lasting luminescence.
