The Luminox Brand


AN AMERICAN SUCCESS STORY

Like many other American success stories, LUMI·NOX came from a forward-thinking individual realizing a need in the market and meeting it. Barry Cohen had been in the fashion watch business for quite some time when he came across a Swiss self-powered illumination system and knew that it would make watches more visible and easier to read in low or no light situations. As a result, Cohen and a partner developed watches using this unique illumination system (called Luminox Light Technology) and LUMI·NOX was born back in 1989 (Lumi is Latin for light while Nox is Latin for night), driven by a commitment to offer cutting-edge luminescence and readability in its line of high-performance sports watches.

The Navy SEALs and More
The Luminox Navy SEAL watch is the timepiece that made Luminox famous. The officer in charge of procurement for the Navy SEALs, Nick North, was asked to seek a more dependable watch for night missions and found the solution at a trade show where he discovered Luminox. He worked with Barry Cohen to develop a watch specifically for them and the Navy SEAL watch was born.

"Luminox had exactly the watch we were looking for – we only added a few small things," Nick North, Senior Public Safety Engineer and Operations Specialist, remembered. "We arranged to test some and they worked great. We made a few changes, then the East Coast team started issuing them and the West Coast teams came on board."

After Luminox provided the watches to the SEALs, more elite units contacted them directly, while at the same time Luminox began marketing the watch across the country and the world. Luminox was then approached by US Air Force pilots flying the F-117 Nighthawk Stealth fighter jet. They were wearing the Navy SEAL timepieces, but chafed at the word "Navy" on the dial. Luminox then developed a watch for these pilots and approached Lockheed Martin, the makers of the F-117 Nighthawk for a picture of the plane to use in the catalogs that marketed the watches.

This initial contact turned into an exclusive arrangement to produce Lockheed Martin timepieces, including watches dedicated to the F-117 Nighthawk, F-16 Fighting Falcon, SR-114 Blackbird and the new F-22 Raptor.

The Rest of the Story
Throughout the following 20 years, Luminox has never strayed from its mission which has been confirmed and validated by the many elite military and law enforcement units that have adopted Luminox as standard equipment.

Luminox has expanded its collection to include a variety of styles, created for the active consumer, the sportsman, law enforcement and military groups, divers and more. Currently, Luminox is distributed in 40 countries around the world and supplies elite units all over the world. In addition, the man on the street has shown particular interest in Luminox, anxious to use the watches put to the test every single day – on the world’s most difficult jobs, figuring rightly that if they have been requested by, designed for and used by the Navy SEALs, they have to be able to stand up to every day use.

The Technology
The Luminox Light Technology makes Luminox watches Always Visible – in fact, the technology Luminox uses provides 24/7 luminosity, no matter the conditions, for more than 25 years.

Most other watches use luminescent paint that has to be charged by a light source and fades very quickly, or a "push to light" system, where you push a button for battery-driven illumination.

Luminox, however, uses proprietary technology, in the past reserved for the military, that makes Luminox watches stand out, literally. Each Luminox watch features tiny gas lights (borosilicate glass capsules), which are always lit, on the hands, hour markers and when necessary, bezels. As a result of this unique technology, Luminox watches are always readable at a glance, no matter the conditions.

The U.S. military has long recognized the advantages of micro gas light sources and their use is mandated in procurement specification MIL-W-46374F. Being able to read the watches in any conditions, even in total darkness, is an important requirement of many military and law enforcement agencies.

The U.S. Navy SEALs use the watches, as do U.S. Air Force pilots, FBI and ATF agents, Secret Service officers, Border Patrol units, Coast Guard officers, SWAT teams, as well as general law enforcement officers, helicopter search and rescue pilots, professional divers and other groups.

The Luminox Light Technology system is hand applied in each and every watch. Though more complicated, expensive and time consuming than normal luminescence, it is one of the things that makes Luminox watches special. This unique technology and the additional quality control steps Luminox mandates require extraordinary attention to detail and care in manufacturing.

Customer Reviews

NAVY SEALS DIVE WATCH
The watch arrived very quickly..on just regular shipping . I have used this type of watch diving before and it is awesome. Easy to see all the markings and very reliable -ESPECIALLY on a night dive.The bezel turns smoothly as well every time -- but make sure you do run it under warm fresh water fromtime to time- of course. My only problem is , when the battery needs replacing it would be nice to have a little warning that it is low, so I could send it in with enough time before that next dive trip AND there is NO ONE else but Luminox to do the proper repair. Everyone else that says they can put the proper waterproofing on after the battery change have been wrong and would not make good on the damaged watch.
I have received my dive watch from Amazon before ,about 3 yrs ago and had enjoyed it thoroughly. I am a repeat customer because the shipping , price and selection are the BEST. I also get a lot of compliments from guys and women- they all want to know where I got the watch. I love the velcro band as well-- ( wish they would send me one ) it is the easiest to put on after the wetsuit and gloves are on.
I highly reccomend this product AND AMAZON.COM !!!
Thanks for the great watch and service.

Husband Loves this Watch!
I got this watch for my husband's birthday and it was supposed to be his "outdoor" watch. BUT he loves it so much he is wearing it every day all day. He likes that it is so light and it doesn't make his wrist sweat. He even slept with it on the other night.
Great product!

Defective Watch
I recently purchased this watch and when it arrived it would not keep time right out of the box. The second hand is out of alignment and hits the minute hand preventing it from working. I was really dissappointed since I had one of the original Luminox Navy Seals watch with the orange face and it was the best watch I ever owned and worked great for years until this summer when I lost it overboard while fishing because I had the band set too loose and it fell off. I'm sending this new watch back to Luminox for repairs. I guess they must not have any quality checks to send a watch out from the factory defective. Hopefully they will make this right. I am giving it two stars because the watch arrived quickly and I liked the free shipping. Also the watch looks great and was just what I was hoping for other than it not working.
