Authorised retailer for Luminox Watches. All Luminox watches are Swiss Made and feature our unique and energy-
independent LLT illumination system. They shine continuously, without the
need to press a button, for up to 25 years. The name says it all, combining
the Latin words "lumen", or light, and "nox", meaning night. These are just
some of the reasons why Bear Grylls, adventurers and outdoor instructors,
the "Icelandic Association for Search and Rescue" (ICE-SAR), the U.S. Navy
SEALs, and many other professionals all over the world rely on us.
Brand History
Luminox was founded in 1989 by Barry Cohen, a veteran of
the watch industry. Cohen discovered a self-powered
illumination system from Switzerland which he
knew would make watches more visible in low light
situations. The name Luminox is derived from two Latin
words, lumi means light and nox means night.
Luminox' big break came about in 1993 when the Navy
Seals were looking for a watch they could use for night
missions. Assisstant RTD&E officer Nick
North discovered Luminox at a trade show and worked with
Cohen to develop a watch specifically for the Navy Seals.
The watch designed for the Navy Seals (
the
Model 3001) was released around the world. In 1999 Luminox
developed watches for the US Air Force and Lockheed
Martin. The brand have now successfully taken their unique
technology to over 30 countries around the
world.
At-A-Glance Visibility
Luminox watches use a unique technology to glow
constantly for up to 25 years. All Luminox watches include
small gas lights (borosilicate glass capsules)
on the hands and hour markers. The lights are always lit
which means that the watches are always readable no matter
what the conditions you are in.
Trusted by the Military
The Luminox Light Technology is trusted by the Navy
Seals, the US Air Force, the US Coast Guard and other
special forces worldwide. Being able to view a
watch effortlessly under any circumstances is incredibly
important for military and law enforcement groups which is
why they chose Luminox! Luminox have
released the range of watches that were designed for the
military, like this
