Ball Watch Receives Exclusive Permission by the USNRC to Create the Brightest Watch Dial Available in the US. Scientific breakthrough confirmed.
St. Petersburg, FL -- October 19, 2006 -- Ball Watch Company now has the brightest watch dials in the United States. The company has just been given permission from the US Nuclear Regulatory Commission to use 4 times (up to 100 milicuries) the standard allowed amount of tritium. Tritium is a harmless radioactive isotope of hydrogen that is popularly used to light up watch dials for nighttime activities and for underwater use. This addition to the company’s watches will allow higher lumes to remain active and brighter and more importantly will light up for approximately 20 years without charging.

Reminds me of the Apple controversy. Future buyers will get the improved models while all those who bought previously are stuck with the less efficient tubes. Maybe Ball will give a rebate to prior buyers.
