Good observation. The introduction date for tritium is in dispute . . .

. . . with a consensus of early '60s as most likely. The dial of Nicolas' 105.002 subject does not have 'T' markings, but the badging of tritium dials likely occurred after its debut by at least a year or two. So yes, the degradation could well be due to tritium, even though the dial doesn't indicate its presence.
It also doesn't have a crystal, which may have been removed to allow a better view of the dial, but if the crystal has been missing for a while, that might be another reason the dial is dilapidated.
