Luminox
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Luminox is a brand of watches manufactured in Switzerland.
[edit] History
The company began in the early 1990s under contract creating watches for the U.S. Navy, who needed a high quality dive watch for night dives. These watches are Swiss made, but the company was begun by two American businessmen.
[edit] Technology
The advantage of a Luminox in comparison to other watches is its glow-in-the-dark capability. Every Luminox watch uses a self-powered system of illumination powered by very small gas lights (borosilicate glass capsules). These allow the watch to glow continuously for 25 years while having a much brighter illumination system.
