About SMW

SMW watches represent a brand of top quality, Swiss Made timepieces, extremely rugged and designed to meet the most rigorous military and leisure time requirements.  The SMW watches labeled T25 are equipped with the very best illumination system available today.  These timepieces are the easiest in the world to read in low light conditions and even total darkness.

The SMW watches are made in the true spirit of Swiss watch making, proudly carries on the tradition of high quality Swiss craftsmanship, versatile enough to wear for business or pleasure.  Specifications of SMW timepieces would impress even the boldest watchmaker.  The triangular SMW logo was created in collaboration with the Swiss Army and stands for stability and reliability. 

About T25 Technology

This lighting technology was developed by mb-microtec, the only manufacturer of these tiny tritium light elements in the world, who is offering a full time light source without the need of any internal power supply.  A specially designed glass micro tube filled with a luminous gas (H3) which last 20 years, will give you an uninterrupted light source day or night.  This GTLS illumination technology was specified by the US Army and validated by a nato number.

Use of tritium gas light sources offers a series of further benefits in addition to optimal insulation of the radioactive material. The light sources are self-illuminating, in other words they neither need battery current nor any other source of outside energy.   Their luminance is almost one hundred times that of watches with traditional tritium phosphorescent paint.  It is self-activated and self-powered light sources.  

All SMW watches are warranted against defects in materials for a period of two years from the date of purchase and illumination system is guaranteed for 10 years. 

What is Tritium?
Tritium is a heavy form (isotope) of hydrogen and for this reason behaves chemically exactly like it. Pure tritium therefore, forms a gas T2 (like hydrogen forms H2). However, tritium is not stable but decays to the inert gas helium with a half-life of 12.3 years. This means that after this time half of any amount of tritium will have become helium. This transformation process is called a pure beta-decay. In this process no gamma radiation occurs and only a low energy electron is emitted.

What are the risks of using Tritium in a GTLS?
None. The low energy electrons of tritium cannot escape the glass body of a trigalight.
Only the rupture of such a light source would free the tritium gas and it would quickly disburse. On a yearly bases, the wearer of such a watch must figure on an additional exposure of 0.1 micro sievert, which is about equal to the increase the human body would absorb due to cosmic or random radiation, by living an additional 12 inches above sea level. This 0.1 microsievert is also about 30’000 less than the average yearly exposure due to that same background radiation. Now, lets assume that in a closed, unventilated room all the GTLS of 40 such watches (also 1000 millicuries or 600 to 800 GTLS) would simultaneously burst open and release their tritium gas, the resulting exposure to a person in that room would still be only about 50% of the yearly, random background exposure that every living creature on earth is exposed to. This example, as unlikely as it may seem, serves well to illustrate the scientific facts about this technology and further demonstrates the safe nature of this product.

Comparison H3 illumination and SuperLumiNova
If the luminous markings on a watch are reasonably sized and arranged, the readability in the dark is primarily determined by their total light emitted. In order to assess the relative merits, the light intensity of two dials with identical markings by mb-microtec on one and SuperLumiNova on the other, were measured and compared

The results, with the light intensity expressed in the unit “nanocandela” (ncd) are given below.

after (in darkness)	0 min.	5 min.	1 hour	8 hours
H3 (in nanocandela)	6000	6000	6000	6000
LumiNova® (in nanocandela)	10000	6000	400	30

The radio luminescent trigalight of the traser watch remains constant, while the purely phosphorescent light of the SuperLumiNova may initially be brighter but diminishes within minutes and becomes progressively less luminous.
