I have doubt about the lume on the Omega 1200m Ploprof

I really like the new Omega 1200m Ploprof. I consider it my grail watch, which I would like to own some day. Come to think of it, I might have doubt about it.

I own an Omega SMP blue Bond co-axial. The over-sized applied indices are nice-n-big, filled with lume (which seems like they are bright Super Luminova (SL) C3). That's a good thing, and I love it because its effortless to charge up, its easy to read any time of the night, and it easily last through the night.

I also own an Omega SMP black Bond co-axial. It also have over-sized applied indices filled with lume. But Omega used a lume material that grows blue in the dark, but appears much more white in day light. The new blue lume looks nice in day light, but it doesn't match the brightness of the SL C3 used in blue Bond co-axial. I still like my SMP black Bond, but the lume doesn't make me happy like the SMP blue Bond.

Now comes to the Omega 1200m Ploprof. I think it also uses the same blue lume material as the SMP black Bond since it glows blue in the dark. And from the online photos, it seems like the lume appears pretty white in day light.

So I wonder ... would I be happy with the lume of the Omega 1200m Ploprof? I still like the watch and I am not taking it off my list. But it does got me thinking ... wouldn't it be nice if Omega would stick to SL C3. Think how bright the lume on the 1200m Ploprof would be ...
