Lum-Tec EclipsevsCWC 1980 RN Divers Automatic Re-Issue Watch

Owners widely praise the Lum-Tec Eclipse for its comfortable, slim profile and thin wearability, with specific commendations for its beautiful dial, good readability, and bracelet design. The knurling on the crown is also noted as a positive feature. Some owners express concern over the 42mm case size and find the dial's font and indices unappealing, though others appreciate the deep-dish slant. One owner notes a slight gap where the lugs meet the bracelet. The Lum-Tec Eclipse e3 variant features a Miyota 9039 movement, a solid bracelet, a sunburst dial, and exceptionally bright lume. Overall, owners rate the Lum-Tec Eclipse highly for its slim design and attractive dial at its price point.

The CWC 1980 RN Divers Automatic Re-Issue Watch is widely praised for its faithful recreation of vintage details, including its dial layout with markers touching the chapter ring and pointed crown guards. Owners and reviewers note its reasonable size and the original minute hand design. However, the lume is a point of contention: some find the "faux patina" tint too gold and glossy, while others specifically criticize the mismatched lume color between hands and hour markers, with the hour marker lume described as overly shiny and convex. On balance, the CWC 1980 RN Divers Automatic Re-Issue Watch is highly regarded for its authentic vintage aesthetic and wearability, despite mixed opinions on the lume application.
