The proportions of the dial furniture and hands, as well as the disposition of the various dial elements, all add up to a very satisfying composition, and little touches like the size, shape, and placement of the date window, as well as the use of a date wheel whose color matches the dial, make repeated glances at the Arc Automatics much more pleasant than you would expect for the price point. The one potential disappointment is that there is no lume – the hands are left open where the lume would go and what look like lume dots, are non-luminescent design elements. This is certainly not a fatal flaw and certainly, the watches remain very enjoyable; however, one of the most primordial pleasures of one's first watch, as well as one of the first memories for many of us, of a watch, is the fun of seeing something glow in the dark, as part of the experience. Perhaps we'll see some lume in later iterations. I would welcome it and I bet lots of MVMT customers would like it too.
