Get the Real Deal!
Make Sure It Says
On The Dial!
One of the first practical
applications of radioactivity was the use of radium for
the excitation of zinc sulphide crystals to make them glow
in the dark. The radiation energy of the isotope was
transformed by the so-called "phoshors" (ZnS) into visible
light. Until the early seventies radium luminous compound
was widely used by the timepiece and aviation instrument
industry.
Realizing the risk of radium, RC
Tritec started in the late fifties to develop a new
self-luminous compound activated by tritium to replace
radium completely. With its very low radiotoxicity and
leaving no direct radiation outside of the watch, tritium
luminous compound was considered to be "the really safe"
alternative. 30 years later, in the early nineties,
Superlite® and Super-LumiNova® were developed and
immediately introduced to the world-wide watch industry.
Formotion's use of RC Tritec's Super-LumiGNova® afterglow /
photoluminescent pigments represent the latest, innovative
development in the field of non-radioactive lighting for the
watch industry. Based on their extremely improved light
storing capacity these new pigments are now being used for
night markings on our Night Vision watch dials with
fantastic results. Long afterglow or photoluminescent
pigments operate like a "light battery". After sufficient
activation by sunlight or artificial light they emit light
in the dark for many hours and can remain visible for the
whole night. This activation and subsequent light emission
process can be repeated again and again, and the material
does not suffer any ageing. Nothing else on the market
even comes close!
Independent Glow Study Results:
The luminosity performance of the Formotion Super LumiNova™ gauges
based on DIN 67510 activation testing standards (5 min / 1000 LX
with Osram Ultravitalux (simulating sunlight)) and determined
the light intensities accordingly: the visibility level of 0.3
mCd/m2 = 30 nCd/cm2 is maintained for more than 8 hours.
