NOTE : THESE WATCHES ARE STANDARD ISSUE TO THE US NAVY SEALS, DUE TO ITS EVER GLOWING TRITIUM TECHNOLOGY, AND ITS SWISS RELIABILITY - SHORTLY, THEY WERE BUILD TO LAST IN THE MOST HARSH CONDITIONS!!
Luminox Watch - LU6201 Series Evo Navy Seals, Black Dial, Stainless Steel Case, Black Rubber Band
This watch is a original authentic Swiss Luminox, or your money back!!
Stainless steel screw in case back and screw down crown ** Water resistant to 200 meters ** Unidirectional ratcheting bezel (steel or PVD plated steel) ** Highly scratch resistant sapphire glass crystal **Carbon fibre dial** Multi-jewel Swiss quartz movement ** 10-year lithium battery ** Rugged PU dive strap (lug with 20mm)** Case Diameter: 45 millimeters (Approx 1.75 inches). Case thickness 13.8 mm**
It also employs night-time light technology(Tritium tubes/vials) developed by the world leader in the luminous compound industry. The tiny glowing capsules,( tritium gas sealed in vials) featured on the face and hands of this watch mean it can easily be read in “zero light” situations.
Luminox watches need no external light source to "charge" the dial or hands in order to glow as do conventional luminous watches. Nor do they require the push of a button to light the dial, as do watches with electro luminescence.
Brand New in original box with warranty booklet! Comes as you see it in the photos!
TRITIUM TECHNOLOGY EXPLAINED SHORTLY : PLEASE TAKE A FEW MOMENTS TO READ THIS
Tritium paint has been used on the hands and numerals of watches since the 1930's. At first this technology was Top
Secret and restricted to use on military watches.Tritium paint on watches is a mixture of tritium and phospor.
Tritium is naturally radio-active and needs no external source of light or charge to work. Tritium does not glow. As
it decays, tritium emits beta radiation, which are a group of excited electrons that in turn excite the electron in the
phosphor atoms making them emit photons, or light. As they return to their ground (non-excited) state, the phosphor
glows. Phosphor can also be excited by UV light from the sun or other light sources. Thus, the tritium paint relies on
tritium radioactivity to make the phosphor glow in the dark, not any charge from external light source.Tritium, has a
half life of 12.3 years, a half-life is simply the time it takes HALF of the tritium to decay. So as long as there is
enough tritium in the paint, the watch will glow for years.Due to the toxicity of tritium based paint, a new
technology was developed by mb-microtec in Switzerland. This uses tritium gas sealed in vials. The principle is the
same but the tritium gas causes the coating on the vial to glow. The levels of radiation are so small that they pose
no risk to the wearer. This technology has been used in the Traser H3, Luminox and Marathon military watches. In
recent years SRB of Canada have developed a similar system, this is used by manufacturers such as Smith and
Wesson, Rescuer and NITE. SRB tritium is not as yet as well developed as the mb-microtec technology, only
offering around 80 - 90% of the luminescence.The main advantage of tritium in military watches is that there is no
additional drain on the watch battery to power the night light source, however these watches do have a drawback
in that they can be picked up at great distance by night vision equipment. It is therefore important that these
watches are covered during military operations at night.As the technology has become cheaper it is finding its way
into the civillian market. Many sportsmen such as anglers and shooters wear tritium based watches with Luminox
and Traser being the most popular.
