Idea for a New Orsa Watch 1. Contact the Eng. at Meprolight and get them to design a subassembly to produce a real luminous dial. Got to love a little radioactivity in the morning, with the corn flakes.

Meprolight is an OEM manufacturer for the watch industry, that is what I was referring to. They will fill orders for watch subassembly's on contract. I have used them on many projects watch an other. People get locked in on what they know.

You have seen there products in all illuminated watch faces. They also make night sights for weapons and any thing that you need to see at night for 20 to 25 years. They specialize in the radioactive ampules the rest is easy to machine.

Real in the sence of being self luminous, needing no out side charge of photons of energy.

That's the tubes then right, as the photons are contained within them making them self sufficient.

The idea of an all gas encased dial or self luminous not needing a charge is pretty cool imo!cool10.gif...and Pax ..I have had a 1/2 dozen all lume dials high and low end and not one is what I would have called stellar  OldeCrows Damasko looked pretty good though!!!hand6.gif

I am curious about the lume dials and of the pics I've seen I thought Eric's Aristo appealed to me most although they are all cool. It would be fanatstic to have a dial with the eqivalent lume characteristics of the tritium tubes. Would it be practical though and how would it stand up to daily wear and tear? And would it cause radiation sickness??face4.gifface4.gifface4.gifface4.gif

Even if you used 2 sets of tubes side by side for each marker that would be something new. The element is radioactive in the visible spectrum, if it was not for lawyers there would not be a problem. The photons from one ring of your cell phone would be more radiation than wearing the watch the rest of your life, I believe.
