Blue Tritium Watches are excited to announce the arrival of our newest brand of watches to our store - LÜM-TEC!

LÜM-TEC is the brainchild of its American owner, Chris Wiegand, who has been making custom built watches and reluming dials for many years. Wiegand’s exquisite workmanship has won the hearts of many customers who suggested that he should start his own brand. And so LÜM-TEC was born.


Run by its parent company, Wiegand Custom Watch LLC, LÜM-TEC is a natural progression for the Wiegand family to bring to their many fans and collectors, quality timepieces that are still affordable.

About LÜM-TEC Watches
Each model is also highly limited, between 50-500 pieces worldwide, so you can be guaranteed a unique timepiece that won't be seen elsewhere.

MDV® TECHNOLOGY - "Maximum Darkness Visibility®" is a special 8-layer application of ultra bright glowing Swiss Superluminova® photo-luminescent material, producing an incredibly bright luminescent light afterglow charge upon exposure to UV light.

MDV® hands and dials are extremely visible in all light conditions for over 24 hours.

All prototypes are done by hand, and the factory replicates the curves, height, and finish (In factory - the lume is applied with a stylograph by machine).

A layer of titanium dioxide white is laid down by rotory print, then 6 layers of lume compound followed by a layer of clear gloss coat. Each step of this unique method must be done very carefully and elegantly so the final effect could be perfect. (a total of 8 layers applied)

MDV® technology is a registered trademark from Lüm-Tec and is the best method according to current technology possibilities!

All watches are finally tested, packaged and shipped out from Mentor, Ohio - the Home of Lüm-Tec.
