Radiomir vs Luminor

What is the diffence between these two styles of PAMS? If this has been discussed before please accept my apology.

Steven, I'll defer to the experts, but I believe the origin of the name Radiomir relates to the radioluminescent paint that was used on the dial and hands which was based on Radium.

Today it refers to case type.

An explanation,

Thanks Mike!

It seems as if information on these great watches is a scarce as the watch it self.

In the past, Radiomir and Luminor referred to the luminous substance used on the dial.

Today, these two terms refer to the style of case used.
