Just got your note, so here are a few recommendations:
Excluding Luminox, Armourlite and Traser make some decent tritium watches from what I have read, although I don't have any personal experience.
Here's one (face is bigger than you want but it ticks the boxes and has a good swiss quartz movement so it will be accurate): <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.amazon.com/Armourlite-ColorBurst-Shatterproof-Scratch-Resistant/dp/B004EVJ3VS/ref=sr_1_10?ie=UTF8&qid=1450110099&sr=8-10&keywords=tritium+watch">http://www.amazon.com/Armourlite-ColorB ... tium+watch</a><!-- m -->
I also don't have any experience with S&W watches, but this one gets decent reviews, has a swiss movement and has a slightly smaller face: <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.amazon.com/Smith-Wesson-SWW-357-SS-Aviator-Stainless/dp/B000A3SHS4/ref=sr_1_18?ie=UTF8&qid=1450110346&sr=8-18&keywords=tritium+watch">http://www.amazon.com/Smith-Wesson-SWW- ... tium+watch</a><!-- m -->
and that box it comes in is kinda sweet. They make a titanium version if you want something that will wear lighter.
One thing to consider: T25 tritium is cool but it's not super bright. Like it's not going to really stand out at you even at night. If you want really bright tritium, there are a few companies who have the permits to obtain and make watches with T100. Check out Deep Blue watches, they are well known and respected. One like this one: <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.deepbluewatches.com/brnewdascttr1.html">http://www.deepbluewatches.com/brnewdascttr1.html</a><!-- m -->. They always have holiday sales / coupons and such if you sign up for their mailing list (40-50% off) so you'd get that for about $400-$500.
If you can live without the tritium, frankly this watch screams "you" to me for some reason. And it's a brand you're familiar with and has a great movement and solar powered: <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.jomashop.com/citizen-bj7000-52e.html?utm_source=googleproduct&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=googleproductsearch&gclid=Cj0KEQiA7rmzBRDezri2r6bz1qYBEiQAg-YEtlPOFb-ilsRHlKNmMsMHOw2Cze8YnBi1y3bNsVNvkSgaAsgR8P8HAQ">http://www.jomashop.com/citizen-bj7000- ... AsgR8P8HAQ</a><!-- m -->
That's probably the cheapest you will find a Nighthawk for as well right now.
There are a ton of Citizen and Seiko watches that meet most of those requirements minus the tritium, you can go to <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.jomashop.com">http://www.jomashop.com</a><!-- m --> to get a feel for what is out there and what you like.
