An advanced lighting system is the main trump card of the Night Vision model, which is clearly reflected in the name. There are three sources of light here!

The backlight, which is very nice, covers the entire dial, allowing you to clearly see the time. Such a uniform and bright backlight cannot boast of many "classmates" from other manufacturers.

The third, the most powerful light source, is located at the base of the strap. This is a fairly powerful flashlight that can work in three modes. Press the button twice - the flashlight turns on at 50% of its maximum brightness. So it will continuously shine for two minutes, at any second it can be turned off by pressing a button. Three presses of the button turn on the strobe for two minutes, then the flashlight starts to work at full strength. As soon as you hold down the button for five seconds, the third mode will work - the flashlight will give a bright light signal, which, for example, can indicate the evacuation point in the dark, the helicopter pilots will definitely see it.
