Have you wonder how great a watch can be if the whole dial glows to give you time instead of the indexes?
Let's talk about the 2 watches that can have such wonderful night vision.
1. CITIZEN NY0119-19X FUGU LUME Steel Case
This is the 3rd generation of the legendary Promaster Asia Limited Mechanical diver watch with iconic engraving of a "FUGU" on caseback.
"FUGU" was named because of it's distinctive shape of the bezel, which is curved with sharp serrated edges reminded the fans of the puffer fish.

In night vision,
Some new added features that stands out different from its predecessor, such as using sapphire crystal glass instead of mineral glass. Sapphire is harder and more resistant to scratches. It resists rough handling better, retaining a clear look at the dial, whereas mineral glass pick up scuffs and scratches over time which can mar the look of the watch. However, mineral glass can be polished when this occurs.
Citizen has also upgraded it's bezel, from 60 clicks to 120 clicks. Which makes the feel of the bezel is a more precise, and somewhat smoother, though it retains the positive feedback that one click has moved as well as the earlier versions.
2. CITIZEN NY0138-14X FUGU LUME Black Steel Case
An additional variation into the Fugu collection, now housed by IP black coated stainless steel. This is a limited edition 1989pcs worldwide.

Check out the dial color, with this yellow colored lume dial. The 2 watches look completely different and I must say that Citizen has done a good job making sure that the collection does not overlap one another.

When dark, the yellowish dial will turn into a lume dial that serves the same purpose as how NY0119 does.
To conclude, both NY0119 and NY0138 do have it's own look which will not disappoint and is one of the best well priced lume dial in the market right now.
