Rolex Explorer Lume

The lume only lasts for 10 minutes after charging it for 30 seconds... does anyone know which models has lume lasting up to 8 hours? Not buying for the lume but it is a neat perk if it is able to go the distance at night...

Don't know which model you're talking about but, I can tell you my 114270 Y serial lasts for at least to 5 A.M with only natural lighting without charging it... So unless you're living in Alaska, this sounds very weird to me...

I think it takes more than 30 secs to make it last 8 hrs. Try wearing it in the sunlight for a few hours and then compare. The lume won't be beaming for eight hours but you will see it in complete darkness.

+1

You should be able to read the time after 8 hours, if the room is completely dark.

Adding a pic just for fun ...

Also when i wear it in my bright room for a few hours, the lume is maybe 30% visible at lights out. No lume after an hr of no light
