The finishing on the case and case back is also more refined than the original. There is also a new dial with a rectangular style luminous hour markers. The day and date window has a magnifier lens over it to improve readability.

Prominent hands, indices, substantial lume

The powerful Seiko LumiBrite luminescent material is of course still used and it retains the same brilliant glowing properties that made the original Monster such a huge worldwide phenomenon. It is a different color this time. It glows with a blue color on the this model. Still an awesome sight in the dark after charging it with a bright light source.
