Luminox XS.3501.BO.AL Navy Seal Limited Edition Men´s Watch
A jewel in the crown of the Swiss watchmaking industry, the Luminox Navy SEAL 3501 is more than just a timekeeper; it is a symbol of indestructibility, precision and reliability. These characteristics were not chosen at random, but reflect the essential requirements of the special forces who wear this watch. Why do these elite forces choose the Luminox 3501? The answer lies in its exceptional performance in extreme conditions.
The creation of Luminox is a story of innovation and entrepreneurial courage. Barry Cohen, the visionary behind Luminox, discovered a luminescent illumination system - a revolutionary technology that enclosed multi-coloured tritium gas in microscopic tubes. These tiny light sources, which glow softly for over a quarter of a century, are placed not only on the dial but also on the hands of the watch. Luminox, whose name is made up of the Latin words "lumi" for light and "nox" for night, was founded in 1989 with the aim of developing high-performance sports watches that are perfectly readable in all lighting conditions.
The visual presence of the Navy SEAL 3501 is unmistakable. Its black design with an impressive size of 45 mm immediately attracts attention. The white second hand stands out, while the famous Luminox logo at 12 is the only colour accent. The watch radiates visual power like a rock in the surf. Everything on the dial seems well thought out and generously proportioned. The hands of the watch, powered by a Ronda 515 movement, are equipped with the LLT (Luminox Light Technology) function. The aforementioned tritium tubes, located on each hour marker, the hands and a reference point on the bezel, provide night-time luminosity. The watch uses green luminous material for eleven markers and the second hand, while the 12 o'clock position and a main hand glow in yellow. The time is easy to read even in the dark - an aesthetic and functional masterpiece.
The case of the 3501 is made from Luminox's exclusive CARBONOX material, an ultra-light yet extremely resistant composite material. This material, the composition of which varies according to the model, is six times lighter than steel and three times lighter than titanium. Weighing only 71 grams, the 3501 is a real lightweight. Non-metallic, anti-allergic, anti-magnetic and resistant to chemicals, CARBONOX is ideal for use in extreme situations. It reacts neither to extreme heat nor to freezing cold - a remarkable advantage over conventional metals. The case back is made of fine satin-finished steel and features an engraved Navy SEAL logo in the centre, an emblem that tells stories of courage and determination. The 24 mm polyurethane (PU) strap, which is more resistant than conventional rubber, contributes to the robustness of the watch. It is fastened with an innovative clasp featuring the Luminox logo and a double fork for maximum grip. Despite its size, the 3501 is surprisingly easy to use. Its light weight, ergonomically shaped case edges and flexible PU strap ensure comfort even when worn for long periods. With a height of 14 mm, it slides effortlessly under any type of clothing.
The Luminox 3501 is not only technical excellence, it is a statement. A watch that not only works, but also shows character. The choice between Luminox's distinctive look and the more understated designs of its competitors in this exclusive segment is ultimately a matter of personal taste. If you are looking for a genuine, battle-tested watch that will stand up to any adventure, Luminox is the watch for you. With its technical brilliance and unique style, it is more than just a watch - it is an expression of strength and individuality.
