NEON
ILLUMINATOR Introducing
the latest additions to the EDIFICE lineup, with a new "NEON ILLUMINATOR"
feature. Unlike EL backlight, which illuminates the display by shining
from behind the face, the NEON ILLUMINATOR uses an ultraviolet light source
that reacts with illuminant paint on the hour marks and hands. This not
only provides easier reading in the dark, it also enables more design
flexibility by allowing the use of sunburst faces and other distinctive
face designs that are not possible with an EL backlight. These new models
also include petite models with brightly colored faces for the women's
lineup. All models employ a design that creates smooth, flowing lines
from the band to the case.
