I know they stopped using tritium on Speedmasters during the end of ‘97 but does anybody know approximately when? I’ve seen serials with 48,3xxx that still had it. Does somebody have the very last tritium speedy?

How cool would it be if the extracts said “this is the very last piece using tritium”. I suppose having the very first luminova would be cool as well. But for now we’ll settle for “this watch is a 145.022 delivered to USA in March 1983” lol

 

I would like to know same as you. My last tritium has serial:

483729** and it should be from around 2/1998 (I have no extract or papers from buying)

 

1999 was the end

 

Some infos on this thread

The change to the 1861 and new reference number did not coincide with the removal of tritium. Which is presented as a “fact” in many places.

 

Yup proof in picture in the thread I posted with a 1999 Tritium 1861
