Did Swiss Army watches from the 90s use tritium
Did Swiss Army watches from the 90s use tritium? I see on the dial it says "T Swiss Made T". I don't know what that means:
https://www.shopgoodwill.com/Item/70564179 I have one of these watches and I removed the paint to relume it. I just blew the dust off. Not sure if it's dangerous to inhale if it is, in fact, tritium. I was assuming that it was superluminova paint, but now I'm wondering if it was actually tritium. |

I just saw this website, so apparently these watches were using tritium:
https://www.hautehorlogerie.org/en/e...-swiss-made-1/ Not sure if it's dangerous to inhale after all these years though. Might not be. If it was radium, it would be a different story. Not sure about tritium. |

Tritium isn't really dangerous in tiny amounts. It's used on iron sights for night shooting and in the optics industry heavily.
