Product Description
Armourlite is known for making the first shatter proof and ultra scratch resistant tritium dial lighted watch. Then they made the first carbon / poly cased lightweight diver with tritium. Now, they've made it black.

This is the first T100 illuminated lightweight polycarbon "blackout" watch on the market. Think of is as a Luminox on crack. Unlike ordinary tritium watches this one uses T100 tritium illumination. That means it's4 times as bright as standard tritium watches! In addition, while most poly cased watches use mineral crystals, ArmourLite decided to go all in from the start and went with a scratch resistant sapphire crystal. This means that the ISOBrite is not only super bright but scratch resistant as well.

Designed originally for the MIL / LEO community this was is meant to function in all types of conditions. The T100 tritium illumination means no more having to shine a flashlight to see the time. The ISOBrite's ultra-bright tritium gas that lights up all day and night without any external power source. The Swiss Ronda 715Li lithium movement allows battery life for up to ten years. The large red anodized double o-ring crowns makes it very easy to change the time and are water resistant to 200 meters. As with all ArmourLite watches the ISOBrite is backed by a no nonsense 2 year warranty from ArmourLite. These are the toughest tactical tritium analog watches made anywhere in the world today.

What makes this watch better than other tritium tactical watches?
Unlike ordinary T25 tritum watches the ISOBrite uses T100 tritium illumination. This means that it's 4 times brighter and will last much longer than standard tritium illumination.

What makes it scratch resistant?
ArmourLite went with a high quality sapphire crystal on this watch. Sapphire is the same crystal material used on high end Omegas, Rolexes and other fine watches and is extremely scratch resistant.

Ok, so the glass is tough, what about the case?
The case is a carbon reinforced poly material which is exceedingly strong while being very light-weight. The caseback is steel with 4 screws. In short, this thing is both light and tough.

It can't really be that tough, can it?
Actually, it can. ArmourLite is known for making some of the toughest watches out there and, unlike some other watch makers, backing them up with an excellent warranty.

What's the deal with the T100 H3 tritium illumination?
The major difference between tritium and the Superluminova used in most watches is that tritium doesn't have to be "charged", whereas Luminova and its other versions have to be "charged" by a light source in order to glow. In other words, tritium doesn't fade at all over the course of a night. Superluminova will last roughly 1 to 5 hours, depending on how much of the material is applied and how full �charged� it is while tritium lighting will last well over 12-25 years. Another difference is how bright the different illumination substances are. Tritium tends to be less bright when compared to a freshly charged Superluminova application but while the Superluminova will dim noticeably over the first few minutes of darkness tritium will stay light at the same intensity for years. Of course, this can vary depending on how much tritium is in the tube (quite a bit in the ISOBrite) and how much Superluminova is applied. The ISOBrite model use the T100 GTLS system from MB Microtec which is currently the brightest and most advanced tritium illumination system available on the planet.
