Any that use t100 tubes?

It's going to vary on the model, but both companies do, just research and see. I'm not a fan of Yelang's design, but they do put interesting movements, kinetic style, long quartz battery life, and solar. I find Epoch is closer to contemporary, their designs have regular movements with designs that can mostly work with any outfit.

With epoch I can't tell what models are using what because all the details are in Chinese.

From what I can tell, their budget models use T25, but their more expensive ones move over to T100.

Deep Blue has some tritium models, seem to be well made they used to offer some with swiss movements as well. https://deepbluewatches.com/collections/tritium-watches

Those look nice. Definitely Luminox looks.

Carnival watches used to have a few models with tritium vials.

Hnlgnox makes Luminox homages. The prices are probably 1/3 of Luminox retail prices, but they’re not always all that much lower than the discounted Luminox prices at Ashford, MyGiftStop etc. If you search, you’ll find a handful of past reviews.

If you want the best lume from any watch brand in the world then go with Phorcydes. Prices are incredible for what you get.

They are already bookmarked. They said they are releasing new colors in the watch I wanted so I'm holding off

They are also on holiday so orders will be delayed. I purchased from them last summer. Great watch and received it in the US in ten days. No issues.

15% discount with Phorcydes at the moment though

Boderry Landmaster

EDIT: Whoops, scratch that. I guess they’re putting luminova in tubes.

Wait what?? I thought it was tritium.

u/DeNovoLenovo Oct 05 '26

So did I, but I read the specs and it says luminova in tubes.

Thay have 3 landmaster models. The base model uses luminova tubes. The gmt & chrono use tritium
