stainless steel HUGE Heavy Case
Rotating Bezel with black/silver filler or insert
matte black dial or face
white-coated steel hands filled in with Tritium Luminous
painted white standard & military hour markers with corresponding Tritium Luminous Tubes
Tritium tubes are self illuminating gas tubes which contain an isotope of hydrogen, meaning they will not lose brightness over time like photo-luminescent paint, which requires an external light source to create a glow.

painted white "MARATHON" & radioactive symbol at 3 o'clock
painted white "SWISS MADE" at 6 o'clock
painted white "H3" at 10 o'clock
H3 is Hydrogen-3 or Tritium, which is a radioactive isotope of hydrogen that glows in the dark! That's what make the hands of the watch glow. The watch has a few microcuries of H3 to make it glow without power.
