Daytona W/Meteorite Dial Question

I'm looking into this watch and contemplating buying one but I'm confused about one thing. Are the hour and minute hands luminous? I've seen some pic's of a couple of these watches and in some pic's the hands look all black and in others there appears to be a white strip in the middle of the black. Also, since the hour markers and Roman numerals are black I can only assume they are not luminous. Thanks for any help you can give me on this!

Icon14 Thanks a lot!

Wow, I didn't know the hands and markers were gold. They looked black in the pic's I saw but this will clear it up for me. Thank you very much!
BTW, awesome pic of an even more awesome watch!
