Features

Luminox is a Swiss watch brand that has earned a reputation for its durability, accuracy and unique lighting. Luminox watches are designed for extreme conditions and are often used by professionals in the military, marine and aviation industries, as well as adventurers and athletes.

History and Origins

The Luminox brand was founded in 1989 by Barry Cohen and Richard Timbo. Their main goal was to create a watch that would offer high visibility in all lighting conditions. Inspired by the technology used in military watches, Luminox adapted it for the commercial market. The brand's first success was working with the US Navy, which needed a rugged watch for its elite Navy SEALs.

Light Technology (LLT)

The unique Luminox Light Technology ensures visibility at a glance - Luminox watch technology provides continuous light regardless of weather conditions for up to 25 years.* Most other watches use a luminescent color, which is characterized by a light source that needs to be charged and fades very quickly, or a "push-to-light" system, where a button needs to be pressed for battery-powered lights.

*Always Visible means that the Luminox Light Technology (LLT) lighting system, the tiny glass tubes that illuminate the watch, are guaranteed to illuminate for 10 years. The tubes are illuminated for 25 years, with visibility depending on individual eyesight, the colour of the tube and the condition of the watch glass.
