According to the companies, the luxurious new wristwatch is modeled after the 3001 watches and has therefore been built to [Navy Seal](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/luminox-navy-seal-foundation) standards. As a result, the new piece comes equipped with a lightweight and durable 43mm [Carbonox](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/luminox-original-navy-seal-watch) case featuring a sleek black finish and a two-tone unidirectional dive bezel. In addition, the SOPH. x Luminox 3001 features [Luminox's signature lume technology](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/luminox-carbonox-year-of-the-horse-limited-edition), enabling the watch to glow brightly for up to 25 years. Other features of the robust watch include a hardened mineral glass construction, Swiss Quartz movement, and 200M/660ft water resistance. Unfortunately, the SOPH. x Luminox 3001 will be sold exclusively at the brand's stores in Japan, making it a particularly rare item for Western collectors.
