Wrist Watches A+

A sporty watch with a distinctive, textured look, the Melt Down from Reactor is a versatile timepiece for active days. The bold indexes on the dial make for easy reading, and the date display at three o'clock is essential for keeping track of your days. The textured band, crown and bezel create a unique surface appearance, unifying the watch. The 42-millimeter stainless steel case houses a black dial with Superluminova indexes for low-light readability. Water resistant to 660 feet, the Melt Down is a masculine watch durable enough for vacation days at the water, yet classy enough for business attire.

As Reactor's signature model, the Fallout sets a new standard in sports watches with unmatched construction and superior style designed to exceed Swiss standards. This men's watch is built to last, with a solid, marine-grade 316L stainless steel 40-millimeter case and wrist band, which also includes a triple-secure clasp for extra security. The watch also features a secure "screw bar" case-to-band interface, which provides five to seven times the strength of traditional spring bars; and the hardened mineral glass crystal offers extreme scratch and shatter resistance. But the watch's ultra durability does not forego beauty: it sports a striking black dial with contrasting, stylish white, art-deco inspired indexes, which feature blocky Arabic numerals and rectangular shapes. The indexes are equipped with the patented Superluminova finish, which provides up to eight hours of low-light readability. A unidirectional bezel with etched numerals provides a detail of elegance as well as additional timekeeping functionality. The watch also includes both a day and date calendar at the three o'clock position. With a thick, forged caseback that includes an integrated O-ring, the watch provides superior water resistance to a depth of 200 meters: like all Reactor watches, it is individually tested to its depth rating. The watch is powered by analog quartz movement and is covered by a 2-year manufacturer's warranty.

A beautiful combination of natural rubber on the bracelet and a sleek black nitride-plated stainless steel case make the Trident from Reactor a sleek and stylish watch for daily wear. Featuring a unidirectional bezel, easy-to-read Arabic numbers, a day/date display at three o'clock, and innovative new Never Dark technology that illuminates the dial 24/7, this striking watch is also water resistant to 660 feet. Situated comfortably against the wrist, the strap is a deep black that highlights the color of the black dial on the 40-millimeter case. Versatile enough for work or play, the Trident is a suave addition to a gentleman's wardrobe.Reactor Never Dark™ - the World's Most Advanced Watch Lighting SystemThroughout the history of the wristwatch, designers have struggled with the best method to illuminate the watch face for easy viewing at night. Originally, radium paint was applied, but the radioactive side effects to the workers quickly made this unacceptable. Various phosphourescent compounds have been tried, but most remain visible only a short while in the dark. Electroluminescence was introduced in the '80s, but has the disadvantages of reducing battery life and requiring a button press to activate. Tritium-filled luminous tubes entered the market in the '90s, and while their multi-year illumination makes them a good choice, their relatively low brightness can be difficult to see in partially lit conditions, or immediately after moving from a brightly lit to a dark environment.Starting in 2003, Reactor developed a proprietary method of applying a unique Swiss material called Superluminova that makes our watches the brightest and longest-lasting phosphourescent watches in the world (as verified by independent testing). However, while Superluminova is at least five times brighter than tritium after being charged in the light, that brightness fades to below that of tritium over several hours. As part of our quest to build the best watch possible, we saw a better solution.Never Dark™ is the first technology to combine the intense brightness of Superluminova with the multi-year longevity of tritium, providing optimal illumination under all lighting conditions. Because it can take up to 30 minutes for the human eye to fully adjust to the dark, Superluminova's intense peak brightness makes a Never Dark™ watch easily visible during that initial period. This can be even more important when moving repeatedly from light to dark (such as when going below deck on a boat during the day), as the Superluminova will continually recharge and the eye will not have time to adjust. In situations where the watch will remain in the dark for many hours, the tritium will remain visible for years, even if the watch is never returned to the light.This graph illustrates the performance of each illumination source over time. While tritium remains at a constant level, Superluminova gets extremely bright then fades over several hours, but recharges very quickly when re-exposed to light. Never Dark™ is the only watch illumination to "self-adjust" to conditions, with a response curve similar to that of the human eye. At its peak, the glow of Superluminova is easily visible, even at dusk or in difficult, partially lit conditions. With a full charge, it produces five to ten times the light output of tritium. But, as that brightness fades, the tritium will continue to glow for at least ten years.Tritium is radioactive. Should You be worried?Unlike radioactive isotopes that have been used on watches in the past, tritium poses no health risk to the wearer or to the workers who assemble the watches. Tritium's radioactive decay produces only weak beta particles that are contained completely within the sealed glass tubes. Even if exposed, the beta particles do not posess enough energy to penetrate the outer layer of human skin.

In a sleek black nitride, the Trident from Reactor is hip enough for contemporary dress and durable enough for daily wear. The 40-millimeter case frames the unidirectional bezel, and attaches to the linked bracelet with a sturdy screw bar. In combination with constant illumination from innovative Never Dark technology, the black dial also features Superluminova hands and indexes, large Arabic numbers and a day/date display at three o'clock. Water resistant to 660 feet, the stylish Trident helps casual wear look smart and trendy.Reactor Never Dark™ - the World's Most Advanced Watch Lighting SystemThroughout the history of the wristwatch, designers have struggled with the best method to illuminate the watch face for easy viewing at night.
