New Luminox Navy Seal

25 years later, Luminox is proud to introduce the Luminox Navy SEAL Colormark Nova watch collection, with the word “Nova” referring to the brightest star in the night sky. This collection is currently only available in Singapore and in Malaysia. The collection marks a new extension of the brand’s core Luminox Navy SEAL watch collections, but this time featuring the best of two luminous technologies – Luminox’s proprietary Luminox Light Technology (LLT), micro borosilicate gas tubes that enables the watches to glow continuously for up to 25 years, and the addition of Super-LumiNova on the circular indices on the dial, for maximum visibility.

Like all Luminox watches, Luminox Navy SEAL Colormark Nova watches feature the proprietary LLT which comprises micro gas lights (borosilicate glass capsules) encased in tubes that are constantly glowing, applied on the dial ring, hands, hour markers and at the 12h marker on the bezel. As a result, Luminox Navy SEAL Colormark Nova watches glow continuously in the dark for up to 25 years without the need for a light source or the use of any push buttons.

Super-Luminova, on the other hand, is dependent upon outside light sources. Super-Luminova «captures» light from an outside light source to glow in the dark and its brightness depends on the time, intensity and colour of the light that it was exposed to before. Super-Luminova is applied on the circular indices on the dial of Luminox Navy SEAL Colormark Nova watches.

Special gear is therefore needed for survival. A 20-minute diving countdown is indicated by accented coloured numerals from 0 to 20 on the uni-directional rotating bezel – this allows a SEAL, or any diver, recreational and professional, to have an easy glance on the crucial minutes left to securely monitor diving time and decompression stops before the ascent. This 20-minute diving countdown is essential during night missions for crucial decisions to be made regarding positionings to take whilst submerged in water.
