The Watch Designed for the EMT

Whether working with the Fire Department, Police Department or any branch of the Armed Services, the EMT's (or Emergency Medical Technician's) job is often the toughest and most demanding profession of them all.  

EMTs often work under the most difficult of circumstances, in the tightest spaces and must perform their duties quickly and accurately if they are to save lives.  There simply is no room for compromise. 

H3 Tactical has created a Tritium Illuminated Watch especially for the EMT that, for the first time ever, uses four different colors of Tritium designed to help the EMT do his or her job.  More on the four color tritium design later.

Let's start firsr with the actual construction of the watch, case and strap.  To make a watch tough enough for use in the field, especially by the military, H3 Tactical started with their extremely popular S.W.A.T. watch.  This is the strongest, toughest watch H3 Tactical makes.  The case is entirely surgical, 316 grade, stainless steel.  The crystal is highly scratch resistant sapphire glass.  Both the crown and the case back screw down for maximum water tightness.  As a result the watch is water resistant to 660 feet below sea level.

Speaking of the crown it is repositioned on this watch from the traditional 3 o'clock position to the 10 o'clock position.  This increases wrist movement for both left handed and right handed wearers, The crown never impedes flexibility, never gouges the wrist or arm.

The Swiss Movement is a multi-jeweled Quartz Movement that is extremely accurate, shock resistant, and dependable.  Battery life is an amazing 42 months and there is a low power warning system to alert the EMT to change the battery weeks before any possible power failure.

To assist the EMT in evaluating a patient's condition quickly and accurately, H3 Tactical added a unidirectional 20 Heartbeat pulse meter bezel.  Instead of having to count heartbeats over a lengthy period of time and then multiple the number to the equivalent of a one minute timeframe, the EMT only needs to count 20 heartbeats from the zero position on the bezel and glance down to accurately determine the pulse rate. No mathematical computation is necessary.

This is a great tool for the EMT.  But what if the EMT is working in low light or total darkness, perhaps on the battlefield, during a power outage or other demanding set of circumstances?  That's where the four colors of tritium come into play.

As you can see to the right, the second hand and the 12 o'clock (or zero) markers have blaue tritium. This is the starting point for the 20 heartbeat count.  If the EMT reaches 20 heartbeats with the second hand in the orange, the heart is beating too rapidly.  If, however, the 20 count in in the green tritium area, that patient is in good condition with a pulse rate between 60 and 80 beats per minute.

It the 20 beat count falls into the lower orange range, the pulse rate is too low.  If it falls into the red, it is dangerously too low and immediate action is required.  This is a powerful too for the EMT.

As you might have already guessed, runners, cross trainers and all athletes also love the pulse meter on this watch.  Certainly everyone loves the strength and durability of this model.

And I'm going to be honest here, even the casual wearers love the color tritium display, it just looks fantastic!  The good news it that even if you are just a casual wearer, you can't purchase a better, tougher, more versatile or longer lasting watch.

Why Own a Tritium Watch?

 

Here at The Watch Guys we love watches.  But, as some of you may have noticed, we are particularly fond of Tritium illuminated watches.  Why is that?  Well it's because Tritium Illuminated Watches are just simply the best illuminated watches available today.  So "What is Tritium illumination?" I hear you say.  You may have heard some people talk about them and not know exactly what it is or how it works.  Let's take a look and see.  I am going to break down what Tritium illumination is, how it works and what it all means so next time you hear us talking about how much we love it, you'll understand why.

What is Tritium illumination?

Lets start off with what Tritium illumination is.  Tritium illumination is what is called a micro-gas technology.  Tritium illumination is not a paint but actually small glass tubes filled with a phosphorescent and Tritium in it's gaseous form.  The Tritium gas reacts with the phosphorescent and creates a continuous glow 24-hours a day / 7-days a week for about 25 years.  It is a chemical reaction that is very stable, safe and consistent.  From there the Tritium gas vials are inserted on the hands and dial of the watch. The new generation of Tritium watches are the easiest in the world to read in low light conditions and even in total darkness. The light emitting devices require no battery power or any other form of charging, and never needs servicing or maintenance.

Why is Tritium Superior?

So now that we know what it is and how it works we have to ask why it is superior to other forms of illumination?  The benefits of Tritium as a watch illumination system is simple.  Making watches visible in low light or at night has been a perplexing problem since wrist timepieces were first invented. While watchmakers thought the problem was solved 100 years ago with the use of radium, it quickly proved too radio active and dangerous. Radium was outlawed for use in watches over 50 years ago. Luminous substitutes found in 95% of watches sold today require the use of an external light source to recharge the illumination. Many owners complain that the luminous paint works poorly and fades quickly, often in just minutes of darkness. Another alternative, using electric back lighting, requires the owner to press a button and quickly uses up battery power. It often fails to light the dial evenly and has proven unreliable.

With Tritium you have a constant source of light that requires no additional power source.  No buttons to push and no fading as the night draws on.  The Tritium stays light day in and day out for up to 25 years.  All you have to do is take a quick glance at the watch and you know exactly what time it is.  No fuss, no muss.  Tritium provides a clean, easy to read light source that stays perfectly visible all night long.  No other illumination can claim those benefits.  Starting to see why we are such big fans around here?

Because of the increasing popularity of Tritium illumination, several brands now offer this feature. Time4Tritium, Gem of the Day and Topflight Watches are proud to offer the following brands: UZI Watches, Smith and Wesson Watches, Traser Watches, H3 Tactical Watches, Luminox Watches and Mondaine Watches. All these brands are equipped with a tritium gas tubes to illuminate the dial.

The Lady Trooper - An actual Ladies Tritium Watch

The Watch Guys are please to announce yet another option for the ladies when it comes to Tritium illuminated watches. And for the first time in several years, it is actually a ladies size! Working with the designers and management at H3 Tactical, the premier Swiss Watchmakers of Tritium Timepieces, Gem of the Day™ assisted with the concept and the design of these beautiful ladies sport watches and have please to announce that they are finally here.

Until this new H3 Tactical Lady Trooper, all women's tritium illuminated watches were either larger midsize watches (around 40 millimeters) or downright huge men's sized watches (up to 50 millimeters). A true women's watch size was unavailable. But the new Lady Trooper is just a mere 29 millimeters in diameter. It's large enough to read easily, but still a true ladies sport watch.

The new Lady Trooper is made to the high standards H3 Tactical has established for all their watches, The watch case is 316 grade surgical stainless steel with a screw down back. The crystal is the new super hard and scratch resistant K1 mineral glass. And the watch is water resistant to 100 meters or 330 feet below sea level.

But the most important feature is the ultra bright, self powered Tritium Illumination. These watches glow up to 100 times brighter than conventional watches. And they never need to be recharged by any external light source. These watches will glow brightly for up to 25 years.

All of this in a lovely ladies size watch! Finally! Be sure to check out more info and purchasing details here: Gem of the Day, Time 4 Tritium and TopFlight Watches

Spread the Word - H3 Tactical is a Force in the Watch Industry

The addition of several fine Swiss brands of Tritium Watches has been a real benefit to the American consumer. While Luminox remains the leader in Tritium Illuminated Watches, a lot has changed in just the last three years! Today people looking for Tritium watches now have at least six brands and over 200 different models from which to chose.

Even more important, the addition of several Swiss manufacturers has led to increased competition and increased innovation. This, in turn has led to lower prices and new and exciting product.

We try to work with every watch company to bring our customers the very best new watches. And while every company has its strengths and weaknesses, no company is working harder to understand the American consumer or to build a better, more competitive product that H3 Tactical.

The management of H3 Tactical listens carefully to our every request and asks all the right questions about our customers. And then they quickly develop the products we need. Well, quickly isn't the best term to use when describing Swiss Watchmaking. Generally this means six to twelve months.

As great example is their development of a true ladies Tritium Sport Watch, the Lady Commander. After Luminox decided to discontinue all Ladies watches, we asked every (and I do mean every) Swiss Tritium manufacturer to fill in the gap. Only H3 Tactical answered the challenge. Today the Lady Commander is a best seller.

No content to just develop "me too" product H3 Tactical has looked for areas where new and innovative watches are needed. One of the best examples in the Stealth Mission true 24 Hour Military Time Watch. This watch has twice the tritium of other watches and makes keeping track of military time easy, day or night. It's the watch I'm wearing in the picture at the top of this article. We also profiled this innovative watch earlier in this blog: World's First Full Tritium 24 Hour Watch.

As the economy turns tough, it will take aggressive innovation, unyielding quality and great customer service to survive. We think H3 Tactical has what it takes.

H3 Ladies Commander - New Dial Colors Available!

Just a little follow up on a previous story. Remember when we introduced the H3 Tactical Ladies Commander Tritium watch? Remember when we said it was a great design and perfect size for woman? And that we expected it to be very popular? Well it turns out we were right (don't worry, it doesn't happen very often).

The Ladies Commander Tritium watch has been so popular that H3 Tactical is already expanding the line. That's right, we now have two more models to choose from. Same exact specs as the original, they have simply added more dial color options. The original black is still available and as you can see, they have added blue and white/silver to the mix. Now three great looking watches to choose from just in time for the holidays.

All three are now available and in stock at both Gem of the Day and Time 4 Tritium. Plus FREE Shipping, No Tax and extended Holiday Returns (buy now and return 30-days from Christmas!!!). Now is the perfect time to buy.

The New Kid on the Block

Can you tell we like Tritium watches? Well, we do. And today, there is a new kid on the block. H3 Tactical has brought out an entry level model poised to steal the thunder from the competition. The ALL NEW Sniper Lightweight Special Ops Series.

You've seen similar watches from other companies, but the Sniper beats them all feature for feature. For example, this watch has the very lightweight carbon reinforced polyurethane case as do some others. But only the Sniper also has a full screw down crown for assured water resistance to 330 feet below sea level! And every Sniper model is equipped with an unusually hard and tough tempered crystal (900 Vickers instead of 500 Vickers). The watch also has a stainless steel screw down case back.

You get all of this plus Color Tritium Illumination Combinations (Pictured below), Professional Military Grade Watch and a Swiss Jeweled Quartz Watch Movement. All for LESS than the competition!!! These watches are currently selling for about $199.00 (Reg. $295.00). That is about $20-$40 less than the competition from some of the other companies out there.

Now, Yes, there are some other Tritium watches out there for less. Some of them are quite good. But "pound for pound" you are gonna be hard pressed to find a better watch at the same price.

Have you been looking at getting into Tritium Watch? Don't want to spend too much money? Checking out the entry level options trying to find the best watch for the Price? If the answer to any of those questions were YES, then you really need to take a look at the Sniper Lightweight Special Ops Series. It really is one of the best values currently available on the market today.

Worlds 1st Full Tritium 24 Hour Watch!

Virtually every other watch on earth tells time in a conventional 12 hour dial and the hour hand revolves around the dial once every 12 hours. In this new H3 Tactical Stealth Mission Watch, the hour hand only travels around the dial once every 24 hours! For pilots traveling day and night across many time zones, this design is extremely desirable. At a glance the pilot knows the time in the military 24 hour format.

Military personnel all also use the 24 hour time format to insure there are never any mistakes about the time for precision military operations. Likewise, this format is indispensable for people working under extreme conditions where it might be impossible to tell day from night, underground construction workers or miners, for example.

While only a very few of these 24 hour dial watches even exist, none has ever been made before with full Tritium Illumination. All 24 hour makers are tritium powered, as are the hour, minute and second hands. This means an amazing 27 tritium tubes are used to illuminate the watch dial.

The H3 Tactical Stealth Mission Watch is made entirely of surgical stainless steel. The crystal is virtually scratch proof sapphire glass. The Swiss Made Jeweled Quartz Movement is extremely accurate and durable. And the Watch is depth tested to 333 feet (100 meters) below sea level. All in all this is a great series of watches. Available in three different styles: All Stainless Steel Case and Bracelet, All PVD Case and Bracelet and a PVD model with a Rubber Dive Strap.
