In a sleek black nitride, the Trident from Reactor is hip enough for contemporary dress and durable enough for daily wear. The 40-millimeter case frames the unidirectional bezel, and attaches to the linked bracelet with a sturdy screw bar. In combination with constant illumination from innovative Never Dark technology, the white dial also features Superluminova hands and indexes, large Arabic numbers and a day/date display at three o'clock. Water resistant to 660 feet, the stylish Trident helps casual wear look smart and trendy.
Throughout the history of the wristwatch, designers have struggled with the best method to illuminate the watch face for easy viewing at night. Originally, radium paint was applied, but the radioactive side effects to the workers quickly made this unacceptable. Various phosphourescent compounds have been tried, but most remain visible only a short while in the dark. Electroluminescence was introduced in the '80s, but has the disadvantages of reducing battery life and requiring a button press to activate. Tritium-filled luminous tubes entered the market in the '90s, and while their multi-year illumination makes them a good choice, their relatively low brightness can be difficult to see in partially lit conditions, or immediately after moving from a brightly lit to a dark environment.
Starting in 2003, Reactor developed a proprietary method of applying a unique Swiss material called Superluminova that makes our watches the brightest and longest-lasting phosphourescent watches in the world (as verified by independent testing). However, while Superluminova is at least five times brighter than tritium after being charged in the light, that brightness fades to below that of tritium over several hours. As part of our quest to build the best watch possible, we saw a better solution.
Never DarkΓäó is the first technology to combine the intense brightness of Superluminova with the multi-year longevity of tritium, providing optimal illumination under all lighting conditions. Because it can take up to 30 minutes for the human eye to fully adjust to the dark, Superluminova's intense peak brightness makes a Never DarkΓäó watch easily visible during that initial period. This can be even more important when moving repeatedly from light to dark (such as when going below deck on a boat during the day), as the Superluminova will continually recharge and the eye will not have time to adjust. In situations where the watch will remain in the dark for many hours, the tritium will remain visible for years, even if the watch is never returned to the light.
This graph illustrates the performance of each illumination source over time. While tritium remains at a constant level, Superluminova gets extremely bright then fades over several hours, but recharges very quickly when re-exposed to light. Never DarkΓäó is the only watch illumination to "self-adjust" to conditions, with a response curve similar to that of the human eye. At its peak, the glow of Superluminova is easily visible, even at dusk or in difficult, partially lit conditions. With a full charge, it produces five to ten times the light output of tritium. But, as that brightness fades, the tritium will continue to glow for at least ten years.
Tritium is radioactive. Should You be worried?
Unlike radioactive isotopes that have been used on watches in the past, tritium poses no health risk to the wearer or to the workers who assemble the watches. Tritium's radioactive decay produces only weak beta particles that are contained completely within the sealed glass tubes. Even if exposed, the beta particles do not posess enough energy to penetrate the outer layer of human skin.
The REACTOR Story
About Reactor
Founded in 2003 by watch industry veteran Jimmy Olmes, Reactor set out on a mission to create the most durable watches ever conceived, while creating a style uniquely different from the norm. Tested from the depths of the ocean to the deserts of the Middle East, Reactor Watches have been proven to soak up abuse like no other watch made, and judging by the comments from our customers (most of whom have more than one of our watches), no other timepiece gets more noticed on your wrist. Because we know no brand can flourish in todayΓÇÖs marketplace without the loyalty of its customers, our watches are backed by the industryΓÇÖs best warranty and only 48-hour turnaround service guarantee. In short, our goal is to make all our customers ΓÇ£raving fans.ΓÇ¥
The Reactor DNA
Every Reactor Watch shares a group of features we call the Reactor DNA. These features were created specifically to eliminate every weak point in typical watch construction. Combined, they make Reactor the best built performance sport watch …period.
- All cases are forged from solid 316L marine-grade stainless steel or titanium.
- Every band is attached to the case with solid threaded screwbars, offering at least 5X greater strength than typical springbars, and creating a ΓÇ£free-floating lugΓÇ¥ for a superior fit, even on smaller wrists.
- Every Reactor is fitted with our exclusive screw-down crown system, the only screw crown to maintain 100M water resistance when unscrewed.
- All casebacks are solid forged from the same material as the case.
- Every Reactor features industry-leading brightness with our exclusive multi-layer application of Swiss Superluminova.
