What is GTLS?
GTLS is an abbreviation of Gaseous Tritium Light Source – a tiny self-powered light that glows far brighter than phosphorous paint, providing a dial illumination that is self powered and constantly working without the need for batteries or charging by sunlight. Nite watches feature a GTLS on each hour marking, all three hands and on bezels where applicable.

How does it work?
Each GTLS is a minute glass vial which is internally coated with phosphor, pressure injected with gaseous tritium and sealed by a CO2 laser. As the gas decays, the electrons emitted from the tritium excite the phosphor to create a continuous cold light that is entirely self-powered. GTLS are guaranteed to glow for 10 years but will actually produce a glow for much longer.

What are the benefits of GTLS illumination?

The Nite dial illumination system offers many benefits:

.	Clear watch visibility in any light condition, including complete darkness.
.	Hands-free dial illumination - important if engaged in outdoor pursuits such as mountain biking, running, hiking, etc.
.	Does not require the watch battery to work - eliminating unnecessary drain and shortening of the battery's life.
.	Does not require charging by sunlight meaning the level of glow is completely unaffected by adverse weather conditions.
.	Entirely self powered resulting in maximum reliability.
.	The enjoyment of owning a watch with technically innovative features.

Nite watches offer the following features to maximize strength - no matter how tough things get, they won't let you down.
.	Ultra-bright GTLS dial illumination guaranteed for 10 years	.	Special locking system on all polymer straps for added security
.	High grade stainless steel case and bracelets	.	Calendar date window
.	Full length solid pins to eliminate strap failure	.	Long life batteries
.	Sapphire crystal glass for maximum scratch resistance	.	Water resistance to 200m
.	Metal bracelets or polymer straps with double locking clasps and buckles	.	Screw down crown with double O-rings
