Was Omega replacing hands and bezels on 90s Seamasters with tritium?

Hey! Do you know whether Omega was replacing hands and bezels on 300 M Seamasters in - the early 90s with tritium? I am interested because almost all watches from that era have mismatched dial indexes and hands. Do you have some info about that? Thanks! The photo for illustration is attached. 😀

Well yes up until 1997 they were using tritium replacements (and factory fit) but those are the original hands, not replacements IMO. Yes they are often mismatched

Thanks. Interesting because if they are also tritium they have a significantly different color.

I'v e never seen one of these with the hands and dials markers being the same colour. The hands can still be tritium, and not match the dial - if they did match I would be suspicious.
