The ultimate tritium watch: Tawatec

I was just thinking on doing a grand overview of tritium watches, I do like their clarity and legibility, well most of them anyway. So, I will posting on this and am hoping the friendly admin can make it a separate forum, maybe merge it with the Ball post?

First off, some brand names:

Dievas
Tawatec
Reactor
Firemark
Praetorian
Armourlite
Swiss Timer
Swiss Military Watch
Traser
Nite
Ball
Marathon
Deep Blue
Luminox
Vostok

Next, I will be doing separate posts on them.

The Tawatec really lights up! Being a Swiss brand Tawatec features a multicoloured Tactical Lights model. They come in other colors like Green Lights and Blue Lights editions.
It is Water Resistant to 200m and the crown has a double o-ring seal. The watch is powered by a Rhonda 515 Quartz movement, which has a rugged reliability. The power saving function, which saves 30% when the crown is pulled out, is a very nice feature. The 46mm carbon reinforced case is sweet too, and that for a price of just $300?

Well, thats my gripe with them, cases start at a whopping 44 mm!

And then, why are they going for such an oriental sounding brand name? It sounds Korean to me. Big mistake.

This one seems most popular, but in my opinion is garish and lacks refinement - I would spend a bit more money to be honest, on Ball...

Agreeing with you here... All has class. Tawatec has, well, illumination. And now is way too expensive to boot.
