Isotope Watches Pays Homage To WWII Pilots With "Old Radium" Tobacco Limited Edition

Isotope Watches has introduced a 100-piece limited edition watch to pay homage to the brave pilots that fought the odds of WWII.

The “Old Radium” Tobacco is a 40mm piece which offers a CuSn8 bronze dial, one of the finest qualities of this alloy, with a warm hue close to that of a rose gold.

Isotope Watches will be showcasing the piece at this week’s WATCHPRO Market:

The alloy is known for being very pure and consists of 92% copper, 7.5-8% tin, and around 0.30% phosphorus.

The dial is highly legible, as one would expect from a Pilot’s watch.

It features Isotope’s hallmark lacrima in Military Olive, and offers a grainy finish just like the area surrounding it.

This is also placed slightly higher so that there is quite a bit of depth to the dial.

The area surrounding the lacrima is in Tobacco Brown exclusive to this Limited Edition of 100 watches.

Arabic numerals, as well as the sword hands, are filled in with Super LumiNova in a colour that is reminiscent of the aged Radium of vintage watches, hence its name ‘Old Radium.’

The dial is protected by a sapphire crystal which has an anti-reflective coating and while bronze cases add character to a watch, this unique alloy can also cause allergic reactions when worn directly on the skin for extended periods.

To prevent this, the ‘Old Radium’ features a titanium case back.

Powered by the Landeron calibre 24, the rugged movements acts as a perfect engine for the Pilot’s watch and features a power reserve of 40 hours.

Water resistant to 10 ATM, the Isotope Old Radium Bronze Tobacco is a Limited edition of 100 numbered watches, and is available for Free Express shipping via DHL and Royal Mail.

The Old Radium is offered exclusively online at £900 (ex VAT).
