Luminox: Taking technology to the next level
A bit about the brand
Luminox. The name of the brand stems from Lumi (which is Latin for light) and Nox (which stands for night in Latin). So, the allusion to nightlight is pretty clear when we talk about Luminox. Its unique pieces are meant to glow in the dark, given its cutting edge luminescence technology, that also makes it perfect for high-performance sports.
In fact, the original Navy SEALs watch was named Blackout for a reason; and today, many of its models continue to feature black, as it is a classic reference to its origin. But, if you’re looking for something different, you can also check out the designs in blue cases, and many more.
Do Navy SEALs wear Luminox watches?
The brand’s technology is so popular that it started being referred to as the Luminox Light Technology. So, not long after the brand was founded in 1989, Luminox joined the R&D, Test and Evaluation Representative to develop a watch specifically for the American Navy SEALs.
Examples of these institutions were the US Coast Guard, the NY Police Department, the Singapore Air Force, and the Israeli Special Military Forces, to name a few. The brand built itself such a great reputation that it was approached by US Air Force pilots flying a fighter jet in 1998, which initiated a worldwide license agreement to produce Lockheed Martin timepieces.
Expanding its brand worldwide
Since then, Luminox has crafted watches for the Salt Lake City Olympic Games, opened a store in Japan, and continued to evolve the cutting edge technology behind the Navy SEALs original timepieces, when it created the Colormark 3051 Series. Since 2008, Luminox has expanded its global presence to more than 50 countries and became a truly global brand.
What is so special about Luminox watches?
The designer has an avid interest in all the current demands, and develops technology that evolves to keep up with them. In 2009, for instance, the company partnered with counter terrorism expert and undersea explorer Scott Cassell. This was the beginning of a collaboration that one year later, would introduce a 500 meter / 1500 feet Deep Dive Automatic Series Essential Gear for serious divers.
So, Luminox is not only known for its amazing technological advances, but also for its incomparable quality that offers watches with so many high-end features, but at the same time are lightweight and comfortable for their wearers.
In addition, Luminox continues to be the official brand of US Navy SEALs, and its pieces are all produced in accordance with Swiss-made regulations; that is, of the highest quality possible. They also created a model to celebrate their partnership with the Icelandic Association for Search and Rescue: the ICE-SAR Arctic Series. Once again, the brand has made its name as a reliable and useful partner for real-life situations and challenges.
Why is Luminox a great watch choice?
Luminox has maintained a reputation of being extremely reliable and of being extremely useful in day-to-day situations and all things adventurous. If you love being outdoors and like to push things to the limit, then this brand is for you.
Luminox watches have been tested to perfection to deliver outstanding results even in the most difficult settings, hence being the official brand for the Navy SEALs and many other top agencies worldwide. All these aspects combined make Luminox a great choice for a timepiece investment.

in steel or straps in the most creative combinations to suit just about any taste and preference possible.
