Hi all.. The James (Bronson) Bond Omega 2541.80 started to be produced in the Tritium days before the phase out.. (around 1998 as I recall).
The watch continued to be produced after that. It's obvious now 20 or more years on which watches were tritium vs those that were issued later based on the yellowing of the tritium markers on the pre 98 versions..
My question is what about the hands?
It seems most of the hands don't yellow? It's just the tips of course with lume here (the hands on this model are the skelton variety).
I doubt very much these Tritium dial versions have all had their hands service replaced..
So what lume did Omega use on the hands of these early versions?
Thanks

They used tritium but it doesn't fade as much on the hands. It does deteriorate, if you inspect one closely you can see this. I can't be bothered to dig out the SMP tritium hand set I have in my spares box but take my word for it.
