 1st of all the tritium tubes are narrow and red takes time for your eyes to adjust to so most dive watches will not use tubes...they are nice and have a place....a diver needs to check his watch at a glance without any adjustment to sight.....blue trit would be equally as hard to see underwater imho;)

....here are a few shots of watches with tubes and dive watches using super luminova ...you will notice as I said the tubes are narrow and would be harder to see underwater opposed to the much wider traditional hands on a dive watch....I believe dive watch purists would agree superluminova would be their preference...and this watch is being made for the masses as a true dive watch imohand6.gif
