SKU: G10EL/BG/SS

The G10EL is a contemporary G10 / General Service pattern field watch, representing a very innovative take on other current G10 Models. 

Instead of relying solely on luminous paint, the G10EL features a thin electroluminescent panel integrated into the dial. When activated, it produces a uniform glow across the entire surface, ensuring the numerals and markers remain clearly visible in low light or total darkness.

For maximum usability, the watch also incorporates Luminova on the hands and dial. This combination of electroluminescence and luminous paint guarantees that the G10EL remains effortlessly readable in any lighting conditions.

A few key points:

• Technology – EL panels work by passing an alternating current through phosphor layers, causing them to emit light. 
• Operation – The G10EL dial has a button on the case that activates the backlight  briefly. This is important to maximise battery life.
• Advantages – Even, full-dial illumination; readable in pitch black without waiting for lume to “charge” from a light source.

If you’ve ever pressed a button on a watch and seen the entire dial glow rather than just the hands and markers, that’s an EL dial in action.
