TIMELESS LEGACY WITH LUMINOX’S HERITAGE COLLECTION

07 Sep 2024

Luminox releases three timepieces from the Heritage Collection to celebrate its 35th Anniversary.

Luminox introduces three models in 2024 to celebrate the brand’s supply for high performance first-line timepiece equipment that has been deemed as the essential gear for many elite units, law enforcement units, maritime units, emergency personnel and adventurers around the world.

Each timepiece is an evolution of previous hero watch models that represent the 3 territories that elite units, law enforcement units, maritime units, emergency personnel and adventurers around the world typically operate in: sea, air and land.

Luminox Original 3001 Heritage

First launched in 1994 as the brand’s first foray into the Carbonox material watch case, the Luminox Original 3001 Heritage pays tribute to the sea, and still uses the iconic material but now has a stainless steel bezel for a better uni- directional rotation. The font on the bezel has also been modified 30 years later to create more distinction in time telling from the dial. The bezel on the Luminox Original 3001 Heritage watch also spots a more distinctive 60-minute marker with the Luminox Light Technology. Coloured in red, the “30” on the bezel signifies three decades since Luminox’s Original 3001 watch was first released in 1994. Luminox has also retained the “syringe” minute and hour hands to create the vintage vibe but the second hand is now adorned with a bold red arrow tip, that dances across the sapphire glass face for increased readability. The improved quality movement of the Swiss quartz ETA movement, and a stainless- steel bezel, embodies the brand’s relentless pursuit of high- performance, robust watches.

Luminox F-117 Nighthawk x Skunk Works 6440 Heritage

Taking to the skies, Luminox launches an honorary pilot model – the Luminox F-117 Nighthawk x Skunk Works 6440 Heritage. now comes in a Carbonox case that is more iconic for the brand versus a stainless-steel case in the first iteration. The case has also been updated to reflect more closely that of the sleek shape of the F-117 Nighthawk jets while retaining the original toothed bezel design. The updated fonts and reversed numbers on the bezel and dial means improved readability and the watch can be read in two different time zones. The Luminox F-117 Nighthawk x Skunk Works 6440 Heritage also comes with the improved Kevlar strap known for its durability and use in bullet proof vests. The hour and minute hands have been made sleeker but retain the design inspiration from the F-117 Nighthawk jets. The Skunk Works® logo on the dial at 6 o’clock is barely visible during the day, but at night it remarkably lights up in Super-LumiNova® to pay homage to the unit’s vital role in advanced technology solutions and innovation in aviation.

Luminox RECON Point Man 8820 Heritage

The Luminox RECON Point Man 8820 Heritage completes the triumvirate launch. This sophisticated “land” watch sees updated expression on the cardinal points on the inner bezel and the walking tachymeter used to measure walking speed is now available on the same scale in kilometre (KM) and miles (MI) on the dial. The original iteration was first launched in 2011 and showcases the walking tachymeter in either kilometre (KM) or miles (MI). Luminox retains the design philosophy of the RECON Point Man timepiece with emphasis from the 9 to 12 hour makers for easier visibility for timing manoeuvres. The choice of yellow accents found on the Luminox RECON Point Man 8820 Heritage is a tribute to the colours typically found on armoured and air mobile units globally. Luminox has also updated the font type used on the dial to reflect the tough terrains faced by recon units around the world.
