True, but there is a simpler version to choose from too. (Without the tachymeter and compass bezel)
If they are actually tritium tubes it is worth buying these watches just to harvest the tubes for a project.

I was also intrigued as to whether quartz tubes might actually besome type of alternative to tritium. Is it possible that this is another technology that produces the same effect? If so I imagine that it could possibly be superior and not suffer the 25 year half life of tritium tubes.
25 years? My experience is way less than 1/5. Great price though!thelonedoc wrote:If they are actually tritium tubes it is worth buying these watches just to harvest the tubes for a project.
