LUMINOX LIGHT TECHNOLOGY (LLT)
The unique Luminox Light Technology ensure at-a-glance visibility – in fact, the technology Luminox watches provide a constant glow 24/7, no matter what the conditions are, for up to 25 years.* Most other watches use luminescent paint that has to be charged by a light source and fades very quickly, or a “push to light” system, where you push a button for battery-driven illumination.
*Always Visible means that the Luminox Light Technology (LLT) illumination system i.e., the tiny glass tubes that illuminate the watch, are warranted to glow for a period of 10 years. The light tubes will glow for 25 years, with visibility depending on the individual’s vision and the color of the tube and the condition of the watch’s crystal.
- Self-powered illumination system
- Constant glow for up to 25 years

Automatics
More and more people are discovering the magic of mechanical movements – automatic movements actually interact with you, as the movement of your wrist keeps them wound – with no battery to change!
Automatic movement is a mechanical movement with a self-winding design which harnesses the energy produced by wearer’s motion to wind the spring. The watch maintains its power reserve if you wear it daily. When not wearing the watch, it is advisable to keep it on a watch winder to keep it in full power.
