[Luminox](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/heritage-pilot-watch) introduces its newest range in the form of the Air Series collection, marking the first time that the brand is launching a new capsule since 2020. There are two new timepieces to join its roster -- the [CONSTELLATION](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/omega-constellation-meteorite-collection) and the P-38 LIGHTING.

Both of these watches are fitted with a 42mm steel case to create the same aesthetic as a [classic pilot watch](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/flieger-45g). It is also made with the help of Lockheed Martin, which is known for its most signature aircraft that are inspired by the watches. The CONSTELLATION Automatic 9600 watch is powered by a Swiss-made Automatic movement and also has a 38-hour power resere. The P-38 LIGHTING has a Swiss-made quartz movement and a simple dial.
