    Hello To the group. Can somebody please tell me if the for lack of a better words, night glow markings on the pilot chronographs are on the hour markings? I believe it is the case with cardinal points, 12, 3, 6 and 9 hour markings though I wonder about the rest.

    I have seen on previous posts that this is the case with Big pilots and Spitfires though I do not know if this is with the Pilot Chronograph and Double Chronograph.

    Kind regards,

    Paul.

    Hi Paul,

    It depends on the model and sometimes even the case material. The BP 5004 in white gold has lume on all hour markers, the steel version only at 12, 3, 6 and 9.

    Below a few lume shots from my Pilot's watches:
