H3 Tritium Military Watches |

Through
its own research, the Swiss company mb microtec has
succeeded in manufacturing a self-activated light
source for use in wristwatches that is 100 times brighter
than any previously available. The light-emitting
devices, also known as Trasers, require no battery
power or any other form of external power supply,
do not require the push of a button, never need servicing
or maintenance, and have a useful life of more than
20 years.
A Traser watch contains max. 1 GigaBecquerel (GBq) Tritium, a manmade radioactive isotope that also exists in the natural environment. The Tritium decays to helium and in the process emits a low energy electron. The gaseous Tritium in Traser watches is contained in a small hollow body of mineral glass, sealed air tight with a laser. The surface of the watch is free of any radiation because the electrons do not penetrate the glass wall of the vial nor the case of the watch. The GTLS (gaseous tritium light source) in Traser watches are attached in such a way that breakage and/or release of the gas is highly unlikely. International standards must be met, and Traser watches are tested to be in compliance with all mechanical and environmental regulatory requirements relating to products of this nature. More specifically, Traser watches are licensed by the Bundsamt fur Gesundheit (BAG-1971/7) in Switzerland (source country) and are approved for distribution by the NRC (nuclear regulatory commission) in the USA. |
