All Luminox watches undergo additional
manufacturing steps that no other watch in the world requires.
The Luminox self-powered illumination system must be installed
in each and every watch. It is a costly and time-consuming endeavor
but it is what makes Luminox watches special and different from
all other watches in the world. It is our raison d'etre. Each
watch employs tiny self-powered micro gas lights developed by
the world leader in the luminous compound industry. These micro
gas lights (borosilicate glass capsules) are installed into
the hands, hour markers, and when necessary, bezels of our watches.
Luminox watches need no external light source to "charge" the
paint on the dial or hands in order to glow as do conventional
luminous watches. Nor do they require a push of a button to
light the dial as do watches with electro luminescence. The
US military has long recognized the advantages of micro gas
light sources and their use is specified in procurement specification
MIL-W-6374F.
