Lum-Tec just posted this striking shot of their new B8 chronograph. I love the styling and quality – Lum-Tec is great at PVD coatings and lume – but I’m sad, so sad that it has a Japanese quartz movement. Oh well.

At $595 it’s not too bad a price and you are, after all, getting quite a bit of watch. It’s 43mm and it comes with a nylon NATO strap. You can even check out Lum-Tec’s arguably low-tech availability chart to see if you can get one.
