Luminox 700 Series Chronograph

You are SCUBA diving, its dark, and your Navy SEAL operation requires a totally dark entry at a synchronized time. The only problem, in the pitch black depths, it can be really tough to see your watch. It is for just this reason the Luminox brand was created.

All men like nice watches, and for many men, having multiple watches is the equivalent of women and their purses. The Luminox 700 Series Chronograph, has become my day to day watch and certainly deserves a review. The Luminox 700 Series chronograph is a stainless steel cased watch with an attractive and sturdy silicone band. What makes this watch a Luminox, is the borosilicate glass capsules which allow the watch to glow at all times. These are micro gas capsules, that unlike most glow in the dark material, glows at all times for 25 years, not just for a few minutes after it is exposed to light. This watch is water resistant to 50 meters (165 feet).

What I like about this watch is that it is versatile, good looking, and not overly expensive (MSRP $525, Can be found in the mid-high $200s). It comes both in a chronograph and non-chronograph models as well as in white, black, red and blue dials. The watch comes in a very cool blue metal case. The Luminox line is very diverse, and I recommend taking a look at any of them if you have the opportunity. Unfortunately, finding a Luminox in store is difficult, and finding a retail location that sells the watches at a fair price is even more difficult. Your best bet is the internet.
