Standard luminous dials and hands require
regular exposure to some form of light to allow the
luminous compound to absorb enough energy to be visible
in the dark. However, these small, technologically
advanced lights in Luminox
watches mean that the wearer of a
Luminox watch does not need
to expose it to any light...ever, and it will still be
clear and readable in the dark, at night, and even under
water.
Luminox Navy SEAL
Watches -- Per Military
Specifications!
As stated above,
Luminox watches originated
as public consumer designs. However, when
Luminox was approached by
the U.S. Navy to build a watch specifically for the Navy
SEALs, the Luminox Navy
SEAL watches were created after months of
research and study. Luminox Navy
SEAL watches provide the exact
characteristics needed by underwater divers: accuracy,
reliability, and safety. Since wearers of
Luminox Navy SEAL watches
know their life can depend on accurate timekeeping, they
turn to Luminox watches for
their needs. Luminox
Navy SEAL watches come in a wide variety
of styles and prices - from the original
Navy SEAL watches, to the
improved models made of stainless steel with 10-year
lithium batteries as power supplies. The screw-on backs
and crowns and the water resistant designs of
Luminox Navy SEAL watches
never allow water leakage into the body of the watch.
The scratch-resistant crystal glass of
Luminox Navy SEAL watches
and the gas light luminosity of the bezel, numerals or
indices dial, and hands, all provide the needed quality
and dependability for which Luminox dive
watches are known.
Luminox Titanium --
Technology of the Future!
Luminox titanium watches,
of course, are made with titanium cases and bands. The
question is, though, What makes this metal so special?
The answer is multi-faceted, all relating to the
qualities of titanium itself. For one thing, this metal
makes Luminox titanium
watchesvery strong, yet lightweight.
Also, Luminox titanium
lends itself quite well to underwater use in saltwater
environments; a valuable quality for dive
watches and watches used in other
underwater settings. Luminox
titanium is resistant to the corrosive
properties of salt water, and its strength makes it
highly damage resistant as well. Even underwater piping
is becoming mostly titanium because of its excellent
underwater characteristics. The
screw-on back and crown also help provide added security
for the wearer of a Luminox titanium
watch. Unlike gold or silver,
titanium's chemical properties make it
hypoallergenic which is ideal for people who are
susceptible to skin irritation.
Finally, Luminox titanium
watches come in a wide range of colors
and styles because the metal can be colored fairly
easily using anodizing and heat tinting. All in all,
Luminox titanium watches
offer the ultimate combination of durability,
reliability and weight to enable your
Luminox watch to work
accurately and comfortably for years to come.
