Relative to other success stories in watchmaking, Luminox’s history is brief, but since its founding in 1989, it’s very shortly become a leading purveyor of ultra-tough tool watches. It was originally founded on the principle of making super-durable, super-legible watches utilizing an innovative source of lumination at the time — tritium gas tubes — which can operate for 25 years in complete darkness, as opposed to traditional forms of illumination that need a battery or to be “charged” by the sunlight. For this reason, Luminox watches quickly caught on with law enforcement and military forces like the Navy SEALS who have used the brand’s watches as standard equipment in the decades since. But the brand’s watches aren’t just for hard-working professionals — their tough builds and legible dials are perfectly suited for outdoor excursions and everyday life, too.
