ArmourLite Operator Swiss Tritium Illuminated Watch AL150

Overview of the ArmourLite Operator Swiss Tritium Illuminated Watch AL150 tactical watch | AL150

Built for real-world operators

The ArmourLite Operator Swiss Tritium Illuminated Watch AL150 tactical watch, MPN AL150, is built for special forces operators and anyone who needs gear that survives hard use. A carbon fiber reinforced polycarbonate case keeps the watch ultra lightweight, while the ULTRA TOUGH shatterproof Armourglass crystal protects the dial. This crystal uses technology similar to bullet resistant glass, can withstand about 6,000 Vickers, and previously appeared only on ArmourLite models with stainless steel cases.

Always readable in any light

Fourteen green and orange self-powered tritium markers by trigalight stay glowing all the time, so you can check the time in pitch darkness without pushing a button. Large Arabic numerals, bold hands, and a clean black dial make it easy to read at a glance.

Proven Swiss movement and dive-ready build

Inside, a Swiss Made Ronda 515 quartz movement with hacking keeps accurate time and drives a date display at 3 o’clock. A 43.5 mm case, 13.5 mm thickness, and black silicone band with stainless buckle give a secure, low snag fit. With 100 meter water resistance and a 60 click unidirectional diver bezel, this American made watch is ready for duty, training, and off-grid adventures.

Frequently Asked Questions about ArmourLite Operator Swiss Tritium Illuminated Watch AL150

Question 1: How long will the tritium stay bright?

The 14 tritium markers by trigalight glow continuously without charging. They remain easily readable for many years and gradually dim over time, typically staying useful for a decade or more under normal conditions.

Question 2: Is the AL150 really that impact resistant?

Yes. The shatterproof Armourglass crystal is engineered to handle around 6,000 Vickers hardness, compared to roughly 700 for many standard crystals. Combined with the carbon fiber reinforced polycarbonate case, it is built to survive drops, knocks, and field abuse that would destroy many other watches.

Question 3: Can I dive with this watch?

The AL150 has a 100 meter water resistance rating and a double-gasket push-in crown with side shields. Paired with the 60 click unidirectional bezel, it works well for swimming, snorkeling, and recreational scuba dives, as well as surface water operations. It is not intended for deep or saturation diving.

Question 4: What size wrists does the watch fit and can I change the strap?

The included black silicone strap fits most adult wrists and is comfortable for long wear. The 22 mm lug width and quick release pins let you swap to other 22 mm bands, such as nylon duty straps or dressier leather straps, in seconds.

Question 5: What kind of maintenance should I expect?

The Swiss Made Ronda 515 quartz movement is low maintenance. Expect battery life up to about 45 months under normal use. When the battery runs low, a simple battery change by a qualified watch technician will keep the watch running. Rinse with fresh water after saltwater use and do not operate the crown underwater.
