The luminous material used in watches usually refers to the luminous coating or pigment that makes the watch dial and hands glow in the dark. The most common luminescent material in watches is Super-LumiNova, a non-radioactive substance that absorbs and stores light, and then glows in the dark. When watch manufacturers produce watches, they will determine whether to add luminous materials based on customer needs.
Super-LumiNova and similar materials are considered safe for everyday use in watches. They do not pose any known health risks when worn on the body. These materials are often applied to the hands, hour markers, and sometimes bezel markers to enhance the readability of the watch in low-light conditions.
However, it is important to note that there are many types of luminescent materials, and some older watches may have used materials containing radioactive substances such as tritium. Watches with radioactive luminous material are considered safe to wear, but if the watch is damaged and the radioactive material is released, there may be concerns about potential exposure.
In modern watches, regulations and industry standards ensure that luminous materials are safe for consumers. If you have specific questions about a watch or its materials, it is recommended to check the manufacturer's information, especially regarding the type of luminous material used and any safety certifications it may have obtained.
We are a watch manufacturer, and the luminescent materials used in the watches we produce comply with industry standards and will not cause harm to the body.
