I there such a thing as a back-lit diver?
My daily diver is incredibly useful at work, but can be difficult to use in low light/nightshift. Is there a diver bezel watch out there that is back lit?
Unfortunately smartwatches are not an option due to the working environment.

Something along the lines of (but not smartwatch) https://www.hsamuel.co.uk/webstore/d/1266667/Citiz...
Is the Arnie digital dial/face backlit?

You can get divers with lumed bezels, which might work?

Lume doesnt last long enough unfortunately. Got a few decent divers already and none suffice.

The lume on a Steeldive Willard lasts hours and hours. Even without seeing sun or significant light for a couple of days I can still read mine in darkness.

How about :

I’ve had a couple of there older watches, still fairly bright after over 10 years and I think they are only T25 not T100 brightness.

Similar to some of the above suggestions (Ball, Nite) also consider Luminox for a sturdy diver with tritium lume.

ETA for example: https://www.jurawatches.co.uk/collections/luminox-...

Tritium dial markers aren’t going to make much difference to the bezel, though.

Thanks r159. Exactly what i was thinking, and easily replaced when it inevitably gets beaten up.

You’re welcome, I don’t know how much you will be able to see of the bezel, worth checking out the YouTube reviews. At least if you get it from Argos if it’s not what you’re after returning it is easy.
