Luminox 1869

Zitat: Wired: + Tritium illumination keeps the hands and hour markers visible even in total darkness. The chronograph watch design is handsome. Mechanical auto-winding movement is accurate and has a 36-hour reserve. No batteries required, ever. Tired: - Tritium has a half-life of 12.5 years, so the watch will lose half its brightness by the end of 2024. Second hand doesn’t light up, so chrono is tough to see in the dark. Ultra-thick buffalo leather strap and steel buckle are too bulky for most wrists. Though watch nerds may find $2,300 a fair price, that’s as high as the Swiss Alps for everyone else.
