Amazing Lume! Best Swiss Field Watch under $200! SWC ARK Review
Swiss Watch Company is gaining a reputation for their bright, long lasting luminescence. Their latest timepiece is the ARK, a 100 meter titanium field watch, and the lume follows suit with their other offerings! I'll give you an overview of all the specs of this completely Swiss Made watch, and rant on about my favorite aspects and a couple of negatives.
When they're in stock, you can purchase the ARK directly from the SWC website: https://swcusa.com/swc-ark/
The exact color variation in this video is the Black/Yellow: https://swcusa.com/product/swc-ark-bl...
4/5/22 Update: It was brought to my attention by a viewer that the included pouch is faux leather, rather than genuine as featured in this video. There was change in this packaging for the production units after I had already recorded this video (and my previous unboxing video) with this leather pouch and the prototype watch. I was unaware until confirming with SWC today. Sorry for any confusion. - Witt

1/15/22 NOTE: A viewer has pointed out that he previously bought an ARK based on another reviewer’s praise of the lume, much like my endorsement of it. But he states that the luminescence on his ARK is "mediocre at best," and he’s a fellow lume junkie! My thought is there could be a difference in the color variations, his was black/red colorway. So, I will add a disclaimer that I can only attest to the lume on THIS variation featured in the video, black/yellow. Read the pinned comments section to discover more.
