Luminox – Original Navy Seal- Mens Watch – Military Dive
Product Overview
The Luminox Original Navy SEAL Mens Watch is a legendary timepiece born from a direct collaboration with U.S. Navy SEALs in 1994. Designed to meet the exacting demands of elite military divers, this watch was the first to earn official licensing from the U.S. Navy—a testament to its reliability under extreme conditions. Today, it remains a trusted companion for active-duty SEALs during missions worldwide. Built in Switzerland with precision engineering, the 3001 EVO Series pays homage to the original design while delivering modern durability and performance. Whether you’re a diver, adventurer, or collector, this watch combines military heritage with everyday ruggedness.
Key Features
- Swiss-Made Quartz Movement: Powered by a high-precision Ronda 515 Swiss quartz movement, this watch ensures accurate timekeeping with minimal maintenance and long-term reliability.
- 200m Water Resistance: Engineered for serious diving, the watch is water-resistant up to 200 meters (660 feet), making it suitable for recreational scuba diving and water sports.
