Tritium
Definition
What is Tritium in Watches?
Tritium is a self-powered, radioactive substance used in watch dials and hands to provide luminescence. It offers continuous glow without the need for external charging from a light source, making it highly useful for low-light and nighttime visibility.
How it Works: Tritium glows due to the continuous emission of low-energy beta particles by the radioactive isotope. The tritium gas sealed in tiny glass tubes reacts with a phosphorescent coating on the watch hands and markers, resulting in the luminescent glow.
