Luminox was founded in 1989 and has established itself in the watchmaking industry as Tactical watches. Generally, this means that they are made for a utility purpose.

They are especially popular in military circles (such as the US Navy Seals), rescue, aviation, police, or diving. These requirements are also reflected in the design and material choices of the watches.

These watches illuminate up to 100 times more in the dark than other watches. The light intensity of the hands and other items is guaranteed for 25 years. These water-resistant watches offer among other functions a date display, a stopwatch, or even a compass.
