Californian watchmaker Luminox has released the 'Commando Raider,' a highly durable tactile watch fit for the special forces.
This highly functional timepiece is equipped with a 46mm CARBONOX case, which is complemented by a CARBONOX unidirectional countdown bezel. It is also water-resistant up to 200 meters, built with unscratchable sapphire crystal glass, and equipped with a pliable rubber strap. In short, the 'Commando Raider' is built to survive the toughest beatings and can be worn in any climate.
Other features include a dual timepiece consisting of both a 12-hour and 24-hour clock, a 'Night Vision Green' aluminum insert for compass markings, and a tritinium gas tube illumination system that will keep the watch's hands and dials glowing for over 25 years.
