U-Boat Thousands of Feet. Update with interesting lum shot

Does anyone know the significance of the red dot above the 6 and also the markings from the 7 to 9.

I also looked at the Bell & Ross Watches but settled on the U-boat as I like the sandwich dial (Wonder where that idea came from!!!! :) )
The 50mm is to large for me and I like the shape of the Thousands of feet so more than happy with it. Just like to learn abit more about the dial markings.

Update

Have taken a lum shot which proved interesting. The hands dont seem to be lumed and more interesting the red dot at the 6 mark turns red to green which is shown in the pictures which surprised me.

I just emailed U-BOAT asking those very questions. :)
We'll see if they bother to reply to me. :anopsis:

I always liked U-Boat. I have the Flightdeck on my wish list.

Nice watch, congrats! I just ordered the 50mm ToF in steel/ white markings. Even my SA will appear like a ladies watch compared to that tank :))
