Product Description
Nite watches feature a highly-specialised illumination technology called GTLS (Gaseous Tritium Light Source). Until recently this was only ever used in advanced military hardware or pioneering safety equipment, where a guaranteed light source was needed for safe operation in all hazardous environments and conditions.
The result is a dial that can be read quickly and easily in all light levels and NEVER NEEDS RE-CHARGING from another light source. There's no fiddling about with buttons or worry about running the battery down; they will glow all night (and day, but you can't see it!) for a guaranteed 10 years - and typically last 20. Nite watches are Swiss-made to very high standards using the best quality components and movements (also from Switzerland), protected by extra strong cases with anti-reflective coated sapphire crystals.
They were developed for the military but are also useful in civilian activities such as night sailing, camping, and diving. One division of the UK special forces was so impressed by its failsafe illumination system and tough construction that they ordered 300.
Water-resistant to 300ft. 45 month battery. Case diameter 43mm.
