Nice, is it tritium?

Nice, is it tritium?

I am not sure. It does have places that glow but I couldn't tell you if it was actual tritium or some sort of phosphorescence illumination. I would suspect the latter. I stole the attached picture from the Luminox website.

They are actual tritium. I have this one with tritium at every number and the second hand too for my daily right now. Very nice watches.

Which model is that?

It is the model 3001.f Navy Seal dive watch. Here is the link on Luminox website.https://luminox.com/collections/dive-watches/products/original-navy-seal-3001

If you look around you kind find it for a lot less than MSRP. I got really good deal at ShopWorn.

Did I ever post this one?

Although it really wasn't a major consideration when I got the watch, it is some nice information to find out. Thanks.

When the cats wake me up I always know what time it is

I have two of those and I love the look and the tritium, but one just can’t keep time. Even with a fresh battery it will randomly stop. Sometimes a few taps gets it going again, but I can’t trust it.

It's Swiss...

I have this and a Walther. Still working on the Aston Martin.

Does Luminox warranty (or can they replace) the tritium? I know that gun sights don't last all that long.

According to their website, the lume will shine for 25 years. It is guaranteed for 10 years.
I see nothing about possible replacement.

No.

They last longer than gun sights, but do have a finite life.

My old Luminox that I bought from eBay in 2010 or so was still going strong, and I believe it was new in 1991

I got a new one this year, and it is somewhat brighter than my old one, but not by much

I fully expect the tritium to outlast me

While this was a freebie insurance replacement, with sales, blick Friday, etc, you can often get a brand new one for far less than $300

I had one of the older luminox watches and I really liked it until either the second or minute hand fell off (can’t remember)while I was playing drums. Not a big deal so I sent it back to the factory for a fix. Week after I got it back, I dove overboard out in the bay and it filled with water pretty much ending its term of service. I’m not sure why I never called them back and tell them what happened but it got tossed in my drawer and that’s where it still sits.
It was my first tritium watch and to be honest it’s a feature that is now a must have in my EDC watch line up. It nice to be able to glance at it at anytime and be able to tell time.
My current edc is a Isobrite T100 made by armourlite or a marathon TSAR.
