Hi All,
If you wouldn’t mind putting my mind at ease. Would anyone be able to tell me if this constellation has radium on the dial/ markers or hands.
Opinions are most welcomed. Thank you

I can’t see any lume there at all so no. That model is likely later than the change over anyhow.

Appears to be a non luminous dial.

Thanks. The hands and hour markers have small black ‘rectangles’ if you can make out. Would these not be radium lume?

No. At that time luminous material would’ve been tritium anyway and this one looks like it’s black paint, onyx or rubber.

Regardless, unless you're regularly snorting radium dust there simply is NO issue.

No matter how many times you ask, there will still be no lume on the dial. 👍

I am not having any health issues after many years of wearing watches having radium dials and hands.

My prehensile tail is coming along nicely though.
