Introducing the new line of Smith and Wesson Tritium H3 Watches. They have a great 3 year warranty (except 450 model). All S&W H3 watches have metal cases and screw-down crowns. They have a depth rating of 200 meters.

Making watches visible in low light or at night has been a perplexing problem since wrist timepieces were first invented. While watchmakers thought the problem was solved 100 years ago with the use of radium, it quickly proved too radioactive and dangerous. Radium was outlawed for use in watches over 50 years ago. Luminous substitutes found in 95% of watches sold today require the use of an external light source to recharge the illumination. Many owners complain that the luminous paint works poorly and fades quickly, often in just minutes of darkness.

Finally, the engineers of H3 in Switzerland have perfected a new technology that provides bright, even light that will glow for 25 years without fail: TRITIUM GAS VIALS inserted on the hands and dial of the watch.

Tritium gas is captured in tiny, airtight vials, sealed under high pressure, and the vials are resistant to water, oil and the most corrosive materials. A very safe and very minute quantity of tritium provides the light source. This same technology is available in many firearms for use in gun sights. Most hunters and marksmen are already familiar with this great technology.

If it's important for you to tell the time quickly and easily in low light or total darkness, then a Tritium Watch is exactly what you need. Tritium watches glow up to 100 times more brightly than ordinary luminescent watches. And they require no external light source to recharge the illumination.
