ARES Lume
ARES Lume
About 10 seconds under regular bulb
I’ll report on how long she lasts
Very even lume all around
Numbers on bezel actually line up perfectly IRL - for some reason the iPhone doesn’t translate well

Nice
Re: ARES Lume
I agree, it looks very evenly applied. Heck, you can almost read the dial text by it.
BTW - did it ever get on the boat?

Re: ARES Lume
Pretty bad ass watch, actually. Perfect size and the crown at 10 keeps you from getting snagged when gearing up. Good stuff

I predict success. The market has been missing an affordable Sinn-type alternative. Being even remotely unique is surely not easy at this price point.

Re: ARES Lume

I thought I remembered you leveraging some old connections to get it a ride a while back.
No matter. I'm in on this watch. I look forward to giving it the "Ryeguy torture test" as I tumble through the surf.
Re: ARES Lume
I can still go out any time, but I really got burned out doing that the last couple of years. Glad to be back on land, so to speak.

Re: ARES Lume
Any chance that you’d be willing to take one more for the team, and bounce this thing off some decking for us? Still the gold standard test for a tool watch, IMHO.

Re: ARES Lume
“I am building ARES as a watch making company. We will produce multiple hard-use mission timer styles, in both Li-on quartz and mechanical movements. I am excited to announce, in addition to DIVER-1, we will be launching two new watches in 2019: the DIVER-1C and the FIELD-1 GMT. The DIVER-1C has been selected as an Official Prize of the 2019 US Army Best Ranger Competition, and will be announced and profiled in spring of next year. In addition FIELD-1, a dated GMT, has been selected with ARES as the Official Timer & Watch of the NFL Alumni Association’s 2019 Super Bowl of Golf. The FIELD-1 will be announced and profiled in fall of 2019. Because we are a watch making company all models of ARES diver and field watches will be available with either Li-on or mechanical movements, starting winter of ‘19. “Panerai7 wrote:Is this going to be available in Automatic?
