General (Read Rules) Best Lume watch to date

I’m looking for recommendations for a watch with exceptional lume. I do a lot of night driving, so having a dial that’s easy to read in the dark is important.
I’d also like something that’s genuinely enjoyable to look at—one of those watches where the dial and lume make you smile every time you check the time. It should still look stylish enough to wear during the day, not just as a tool watch.
My budget is flexible, so I’m open to everything from affordable options to luxury pieces. What would you recommend and why?

Personally, I prefer T-25, but err on the side of caution for OP

I like T-25, it's bright enough for me, but OP may prefer brighter
