The officer in charge of procurement for the Navy SEALs, Chief Nick North and Luminox worked together to develop a watch specifically for the SEALs. The ultra-light weight and the extreme robustness were the features that turned the Original 3000 Series into the Navy SEALS’s favorite. In 2017, Luminox released the latest evolution of its Navy SEAL watches, the 3500 Series.
The 3500 Series is a modern design interpretation of the 3050 Series – where proportions and technical features of the watch have been optimized.All Luminox watches feature a self-powered illumination system employing tiny micro gas light sources. This Swiss technology guarantees unsurpassed ability to read the time, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, for up to 25 years. Each watch has micro gas lights mounted on the hands, dial, and, when necessary, also on the bezel.
This technology does not depend on an external light source to “charge“ fluorescent paint on the dial or hands in order to glow, nor do Luminox watches require the push of a button to light up as do watches with electroluminescence.
