One of the characteristics of vintage

It's not a "positional talk" that says vintage products are good because we sell vintage watches, but
These days I think purely vintage items are good.

Recently, there are many vintage items such as not only watches but also clothes and furniture.
That's why there are many bikes and cars on the market that are modern versions of those from that time.
But after all, a reprint is a reprint.
It's different from what was available at the time.



This is Pasha C, which arrived the other day.
A masterpiece with a popular outer bezel type that was part of the ``beach side watch'' in the 90s.
At that time, more than the Gorigori Divers,
Classy, ​​elegant, yet sporty watches are very popular.
Loresium was also announced around this time.

This time, rather than design, we will be talking about tritium, which is used in night light.

Until the 1990s, a light-emitting material called tritium was used to make watches luminous.
Banned for use due to high carcinogenicity.
It has been changed to a phosphorescent material called Luminova.
Luminova generally does not change color, but
Tritium changes to a cream color over time.
That's one of the charms of vintage watches.

However, tritium, which has been banned, is no longer used.
Luminova does not change color, making it a detail that is avoided by vintage watch lovers.
Well, it's not like I don't know how you feel.
Even though the face has a vintage look, the bright white luminosity makes it a bit unbalanced.
Partly because of that, when I sent the item to the manufacturer for repair at that time,
Honestly, it's weird because it's a pure white luminous index.

Were there many voices like that?
Many of the recent reprints are colored with luminous Luminova.
It probably reproduces the vintage atmosphere,
Personally, this just makes me feel uncomfortable.
Although it can't be helped because tritium cannot be used, it is unnatural.

Even if night light is made of tritium, it does not change color uniformly,
There is a subtle but uneven color that creates a difference in facial expressions.
If I try to make it uniform artificially, I feel uncomfortable somehow.

The opposite of nature is both unnatural and "artificial."
In other words, unnatural = artificial,
Anything that is intentional has some kind of harm, whether it's something or food.
I don't see any artificial sweeteners...? Matches?

In any case, it is a vintage item that still exists after years or decades of "time".
As expected, the naturally colored indexes are cool.
There really is only one in the world,
It is more difficult to arrange the same items.

When choosing vintage items, it is important to consider whether they are in good condition or beautiful.
Personally, I also recommend books that make you want to predict that ``a lot of things must have happened to get to this condition.''
That's why I get excited when I see things that have luminescent lights or dials that have changed color due to burning.
It's a miracle that we were able to meet each other like this...
Sounds like some kind of lyrics (lol)

If it's a vintage item, you might want to look at its unique features.
Please be careful when choosing vintage items!
