It replaced radium at the end of the 1950s, being far less radioactive, and was used until the 1990s. Its presence is a dating marker: a dial bearing these two Ts was not refinished after that period.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy are the hour markers honey-colored?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBecause tritium ages. Originally white, the material develops cream, then amber tones over the decades, and each marker evolves in its own way: this is why the color is uneven across the surface. It cannot be reproduced and forms part of the piece's identity. Tritium also stopped glowing long ago — its half-life is a little over twelve years — but it remains perfectly legible in daylight.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is the Omega 601 caliber?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA hand-wound mechanical movement produced by Omega from 1962 to 1970, derived from the automatic caliber 550 whose architecture it retains without the oscillating weight. Seventeen jewels, 19,800 vibrations per hour, 48 hours of power reserve.

Its downturned lugs follow the wrist and shorten the visual span of the case. The 18mm Lug width is one of the most common, allowing a full choice of replacement straps.\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Omega","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54818867282257,"sku":"ref:131.019 serial:21519404 cal:601","price":981.75,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0703\/8576\/2597\/files\/montre-omega-131-019-acier-cadran-argente-soleille-1964-atelier-victor-1.jpg?v=1789504922","url":"https:\/\/ateliervictor.co\/en\/products\/omega-watch-131-019-steel-silver-sunburst-dial-1964","provider":"Atelier Victor","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
