Luminox, the iconic watch brand used by the US Navy Seals, has unveiled the Master Carbon Seal 3800 Series, a rugged yet stylish timepiece equipped with CARBONOX, a unique compound made from 40% carbon bar. As a result of the robust carbon material, the watch boasts an incredibly lightweight case (carbon is three times lighter than titanium), a more durable and scratch-resistant construction, and hypoallergenic benefits.
In addition, the new watch features a uni-directional bezel with a gray 60-minute scale, Tritium hands and markers, luminous accents, and a sapphire scratch-proof crystal. In terms of power, the timepiece is equipped with a Swiss Quartz analog movement called the ELLITA SW 220-1 and delivers up to 200 meters of water resistance.
