An odd question, but -- yes. This looks like a tritium dial from the '60s. Even if a radium dial, the amount of radium lume applied to these is much less than for a sports model. Are the hands non-luminous? Difficult to tell from this photo. If so they would be incorrect I think for this dial (lume dots visible at the edges of the applied markers).
