Me fav Citizen Ecozilla
They are beautiful.
I do however wonder how good their lume is. Superluminova C3 doesn't tell me a lot, but it might tell watch enthusiasts more?

-C3 is as bright as it gets - unless you start adding tritium to the mix.
A lot depends on how generously it has been applied, though - but if you want decent brightness, C3 is a very good starting point.
Okay, how long does it hold the lume on a "standard" charge? I mean, if I shine on it for a minute or so before going to bed, and wake up in the middle of the night, is it possible to see the time? I can have some problems with that on my Wenger, but it's also probably not C3.
C3 sounds so enthusiast grade. "Ey yo, I got some C3 and some Tritium on mine, do you got some supercharged pre-heated FX 54 on yours?"

If you never want to worry about lume again check out Ball watches.

You got me interested, until I started seeing the price point for them... Way out of my budget.
Here is another brand renowned for their lume.

I did some digging in my photo bag and did against all odds find my old timed release; if I can only find a couple of batteries, I'll find a suitable exposure and do a time lapse of the PO overnight.
So after some searching I decided to et a Column Wheel Chrono Longines L2.743.4.76.6 as the next addition to my collection.
My criteria:
Light face colour
Straight hands
Chrono
Rather sporty, than formal
More than just an ETA movement, something special, so to say.
I currently have a Laurice Lacroix Pontong Date (formal occasions), Omega Speedmaster Professional Moonwatch (any occasion), Tissot PRS (cheap work watch), Tissot T-Touch Expert.
Do you guys I could have chosen something better to compliment my other watches? I also try not to buy more than 1 watch from a single manufacturer. Price range was up to 2000 Euro.
I think you either mean Maurice Lacroix Pontos or you are looking at a fake.
As for suggestions, I don't see a diver, so how about a seiko marine master, omega seamaster, rolex submariner, deep blue or something fun like a g-shock. MTG.

Of course I meant Pontos
Some time ago I decided to not follow the trend and buy diver watches to wear them at the office, so that is out of the question. Omega and Rolex are out as I have an Omega, I will never buy a Rolex for someone to look at it and think it is a fake.
I had and MTG some time ago and got rid of it, I have a ProTrek for occasions when I need something cheap I will not be afraid to destroy and a T-Touch for all other feature-watch needs.
A Seiko EPD and Hamilton Digital Automatic crossed my mind, but I want super easy access to chrono functions.
