About Luminox Watches

Luminox watches were made to fill a gap in the watch industry. Watch developer Barry Cohen, one of the company founders, saw a Swiss manufactured self-illuminating system that he immediately thought would make it easier to read time in low or no light. He was right. He invited a friend, Richard Timbo, to join him in this venture. In 1989, the Luminox brand was created. The two men combined the Latin word for light, “Lumi”, with the Latin word for night, “Nox”, to form the company name. Ever since then, the brand has been recognized for its efforts to improve visibility in all Luminox watches.

LLT

The technology behind self-lighting Luminox watches is called LLT or Luminox Light Technology. It allows you to easily view the time in even the darkest conditions. Military and law enforcement groups jumped at the chance to utilize this technology. U.S. Navy SEALs use specialized Luminox watches for nighttime dive missions. U.S. Air Force Nighthawk pilots also use them. Making these Luminox watches for Navy SEALs and Nighthawk pilots paved the way for the company to enter into another lucrative contract. The company became the sole producer of Lockheed Martin watches. Other watches require the wearer to fumble around for and push a button to illuminate the display. There was an obvious need for this kind of technology and product, and Luminox watches meet those needs.Additional interesting facts regarding this technology include:

• In the past, this technology was only used by the military.
• The gas light comes in the form of borosilicate glass capsules.
• Each LLT system is handmade in Switzerland.
• The technology employed in these watches ensures each light glow without fail for more than 25 years.
• All Luminox watches are shock- and water-resistant.
