No one knows yet, but it is EXPECTED to last "indefinately" as compared to the Tritium that has a half-life of approx. 12,5 years.

I believe that superluminova lasts indefinitely as I have read before. There is no known "time frame" for how long it will last like what tritium had.

It just needs a light source to charge up the superluminova each time. I have NOT noticed any dimming of the Superluminova on my watches in case you were wondering.

It is brighter stronger and charges quickly. The only thing left for rolex is to equip all their watches with maxi dial. I guarantee you that you will be able to see the time after 8 hours of total darkness really easily.
