Have you ever found yourself in a situation where you wanted to know what time it was, but couldn't see the face of your watch because there wasn't enough light? Some watches come equipped with a button that can be pressed to produce a light but Luminox came up with an even better answer! Originally called BRMG, the Swiss Luminox company considered this issue when making their new watch designs. The name of the company itself explains exactly what the watch does! By using micro-gas lights inside the watch face and around it, a glow is created that allows the wearer to see the time no matter how light or dark it is outside. This glow can last up to 25 years or longer.
This technology was even adopted by the Navy Seals because of how effective it is. Thanks to a competitive military spirit, not long after the navy began using the watches the air force demanded to have their own version, and one was made for them as well. And any watch that is considered high enough quality for military missions is surely good enough for the rest of us, right? In fact, when the Seals began using these watches they became very popular with civilians and demand for them rose considerably. The company registered this demand and made a watch with a plastic band for the public's consumption that employs the same light technology.
Most likely this technology will be the focus of other watch manufacturers as well in the near future. Because these watches were built for military use originally, as expected they are both shock and water resistant. They are also all handmade requiring an extraordinary attention to detail and care in manufacturing. As with all major watch brands, there are alternatives to the original, and replicas of these technologically advanced pieces will soon be popping up everywhere!
