Do any luxury brands still use tritium? I love the patina and would love to age a watch on my own.

Any insights?

 

Ball does and if you use your preferred search engine, you'll see quite a few.

 

Do Tritium tubes patina?

 

Probably not but that's the only semi-luxury watch I know using tritium. However, I went to the trouble of Googling and found several still using it.

 

Most brands today use luminor, but tritium idk.

 

Tritium only last about 15 years, most of my hand guns have tritium sights and they have to be replaced every so often..

 

Can only use tritium tubes. Hate watches like that with the tubes sitting on the dial and hands

Sealed in the tube. probably won't age

It will age in the respect that the lume effect will lessen over time as the half like is so short at around 12 years. Will it change colour as it ages, maybe, not sure.

 

I think he was referring to the aging of the color as current luminova dials don't age. That's one main reason for buying tritium dialed watches
