ArmourLite watches have tiny glass tubes that are filled with tritium gas and then hermetically sealed. The electrons of the gas continuously react with phosphorescent paint resulting in a radio luminescent light source that glows constantly for several decades. No external power source or charging-by-light is necessary to maintain the glow. The glow is completely self-powered.
The watch is protected by shatterproof Armourglass crystal that can withstand up to 6,000 Vickers, whereas most watch crystals can only withstand about 700. Using the same technology as bulletproof glass, we have achieved a crystal that won’t shatter even when one layer is compromised.
The watch features an ultra lightweight and extremely durable carbon fiber reinforced case with a diameter of 43.5mm. The double-gasket push-in crown on the right side of the case is protected by two side shields. For keeping track of elapsed dive time, the case has a unidirectional ratcheting diver bezel.
The watch is powered by a reliable and accurate Swiss-Made Ronda 515 quartz movement with a battery life of 45-months. Ronda is one of the most respected makers of quartz movements and strictly adheres to an ISO 9001 quality control system to ensure that every movement meets the most rigorous standards.
