~Tomorrow

I think I'll wear my Oriosa, despite having dead radioactive paint and a 12 that looks, to my puerile mind, a bit like a willy... First watch I ever owned was an Oriosa; I still feel a pang of regret for leaving it at a swimming pool when I was 10; Even then I appreciated a decent watch.

Does anyone know: if a watch is marked "T Swiss Made T" does it actually means the radioactive source was Tritium? If so how did they keep the tritium in the watch???

I intend to service it and re-lume the dial, after Mark's fantastic video series (At your deftness with a tweezer, Mr Lovick, I fall and genuflect....)

I've never heard of an Oriosa. Does it have a Landeron movement?

I've seen Oriosa watches now and then - don't know anything about the Tritium content though. I like the full set for the 12 o'clock! :startle:

The indication "T Swiss made T" means that the watch is Swiss and contains a certain quantity of tritium that emits less than 227 MBq (7,5 mCi).The indication "Swiss T<25" means that the watch is Swiss and contains a certain quantity of tritium that emits less than 925 MBq (25 mCi).
