For lack of a better term I'm talking about the watches ability to continue to glow in the absence of light.
The other day I wrapped my new Seiko automatic diver, the classic one, in a soft cloth and put it in my Carhart jacket pocket and snapped the flap shut. This was at about 10:00 in the morning, there it sat all day when I remembered it just before bed, I actually retreived it using no light and went to bed, when my eyes adjusted I could read it just fine. It sat in total darkness for 11 hours and was still glowing and readable, who needs tritium?
