Could you elaborate on the timeline of when Timex ceased to utilize radium in their products? This material was once a popular choice for watch dials due to its luminescent properties, but concerns over its radioactive nature eventually led to its replacement. Understanding the specific year or period when this transition occurred would provide valuable insight into the evolution of safety standards in the watchmaking industry. Could you shed some light on this matter?
