Hands-on with the Luminox Navy SEAL 3500 Series Gold Limited Edition
Sunday - 20 November 2022
Presented in a black CARBONOX case with flashes of gold seen in its dial and surrounding unidirectional rotating bezel - Luminox’s new Navy SEAL 3500 Series watch is perfect for exploring the sky, the seas and the land. Limited to just 1,200 pieces worldwide, this new sleek and ultra-resilient military tool watch is expected to be a popular collectable that many Luminox watch fans are going to want to get their hands on.
Luminox occupies a very unique segment within the watch industry. A blend of reliable materials and innovative technology bridges the gap between outdoor recreation watches and military tools. If you’re partial to either of these types of watches, then you should certainly explore the world of Luminox watches, in particular, the Navy SEAL watches collection. The US Navy SEALs have relied heavily on these robust tools for extreme outdoor missions since the late 1990s and they’re not only an essential part of military kit but also a hit with Luminox watch enthusiasts and collectors of pilot’s watches and diver’s watches too. The Navy SEALs watch collection was the starting point of many exciting things to come for the brand. After the success of these first few models during the 1990s, Luminox worked alongside the New York City Police Department and the US Coast Guard, as well as supplying reliable timekeeping tools to the US Air Force and collaborating with aerospace company Lockheed Martin, The rest, as they say, is history.
What makes the Luminox Navy SEAL line so special is its use of CARBONOX for the construction of its bezel and/or case – a material that is three times lighter than titanium and a whole six times lighter than stainless steel. CARBONOX is also scratch-resistant and shock-resistant and offers ergonomic properties as well as immunity to temperature changes. Luminox Navy SEAL watches are also developed with self-powered illumination. Luminox Light Technology does not require light energy from an outside source. Instead, these gas-filled tubes illuminate themselves for up to two decades, 24 hours a day, seven days a week. As well as an impressive 200-meter water resistance, which makes each Luminox Navy SEAL watch capable of plenty of underwater exploration, they’re also fitted on supple black rubber straps that make for a remarkably comfortable fit on the wrist, not to mention more durable and ergonomic compared to leather bands or stainless steel bracelets. This leads us to the introduction of the new Luminox Navy SEAL 3500 Series Limited Edition in black and gold hues.
The new Luminox Navy SEAL 3500 Series Limited Edition watch in black and gold
The new Luminox Navy SEAL 3500 Series Limited Edition watch is exclusive to just 1,200 pieces manufactured worldwide. Its eye-catching gold-coloured dial with crisp black details is sure to prove itself a popular addition to joining any growing Luminox watch collection. Still imbued with all the famous characteristics of the Navy SEAL watch collection, the rugged and ready-for-action tool watch is shock-resistant and scratch-resistant thanks to its all-black CARBONOX bezel and case. The material is exclusively developed for Luminox watches and works in conjunction with a tough hardened mineral glass cover on the top of the watch, protecting the dial and the internals of the wristwatch from harsh extreme outdoor conditions.
The golden-coloured dial of the new Luminox Navy SEAL watch stands out against other models from the same collection for its unique look and is penetrated by crisp black Arabic numerals presenting the hour track. An inner track represents an additional 24-hour scale for intuitive timekeeping, along with a date window positioned at 3 o’clock, with black numerals set against a white background. As mentioned, the surface of the dial is protected by a hardened mineral glass front with anti-reflective properties that promise a glare-free view into the dial during the day or night. The glass connects to a unidirectional rotating bezel crafted from matching black CARBONOX, designed to rotate only in the counter-clockwise direction. You can use the bezel for measuring elapsed time in the skies, on dry land, or underwater. If it’s the latter you intend to use it for, you also get to enjoy a 200-meter water resistance for plenty of daring ocean exploration or military missions. Other golden accents can be appreciated in the watch’s crown, adorned with the Luminox logo and flanked by a crown protector.
