Why did Rolex stop using tritium?

Rolex started using tritium for its watches from 1963. Whilst tritium is also radioactive, it has a much lower level of radiation. Tritium has good luminous characteristics and glows rather strong, but an issue is that it has a 12-year half-life (due to the Lowe level of radiation), which means it will stop glowing.

Why does my Rolex not glow?

Prior to the widespread implementation of photo-luminescent material, Rolex used a radioactive compound called Tritium to make their hands and dials glow in the dark. This means that as Tritium ages, its ability to glow will diminish until the point that it ceases to glow at all.

Is it safe to wear a tritium watch?

But because tritium is mildly radioactive, and feared by some to be a health hazard, tritium paint is no longer used on dials. (The consensus among scientists is that, despite consumers’ apprehensions, tritium paint on watch dials presents no danger.)

Why are Rolex so scarce?

“The scarcity of our products is not a strategy on our part,” the company said. “Our current production cannot meet the existing demand in an exhaustive way, at least not without reducing the quality of our watches – something we refuse to do as the quality of our products must never be compromised.”
