Best Luminox Watches in 2022

They’re known for being durable and handy in the water, but the Navy Seal Colormark 3050 edition comes to shatter your expectations. Any time you hear about an adult man’s watch with a plastic case, it makes you want to roll your eyes: that’s because you haven’t been using Luminox. Their durable plastic case and unidirectional bezel holds up against the toughest test, and not only that, but it also helps you out with up to 660 ft of water resistance on this watch.

Since the case isn’t built of stainless steel, this all-black watch comes with some natural shock resistance. It’s all helped by the mineral crystal dial window as the final piece to this puzzle, providing protection over your Swiss quartz movement and analog display. From top to bottom, the Colormark 3050 is a watch designed for a man who wants function and a hint of versatile style.

One of the top dogs, the one that’s been around for ages and isn’t going anywhere soon. Luminox is a direct provider of watches to the United States Navy SEALs; it isn’t just some fancy title. Their business relationship with them was so good that they went ahead and named this line after them, fitting it with all the necessary functions and features that anyone out in the field would need. First off, a polyurethane band clings to your wrist, supporting the 44mm plastic case. Polyurethane sticks to your skin or a wetsuit, making it perfect for underwater use and water sports.

That’s also due in part to the 660 ft of water resistance, as well as the true blue traits of a quality dive watch. You get a chronograph function with a unidirectional bezel, all protected by a mineral glass dial window. Swiss quartz movement powers this Swiss-made beauty, tying the knot on all the elements that Luminox most values in a top-tier watch. Lastly, you’ll also get a flush crown with a guard, maintaining that watertight fixture.

Looking to keep things a bit more simple? We can appreciate the minimalist approach, and so can Luminox. While still boasting their date window, luminous hands and unidirectional bezel, they made a surprisingly minimalistic Black Ops watch with a major focus on the red-and-black color scheme. Your crown is completely guarded, adding another dimension to this multifaceted minimalist watch.

You still get all of Luminox’s great engineering feats: Swiss quartz movement, durable analog display, and up to 660 ft of water resistance for those deep dives. Everything is protected by the sapphire crystal dial window, which keeps this running like clockwork from day one to day one-thousand and beyond. Last but not least, you’ll also get their dual stripe textured rubber watch strap to keep it on your wrist, even under the most tempest conditions.

We’re getting back into the all-steel models, and they look fantastic. Luminox rolled out their 3182 model with some serious flair: for one, you get that excellent shine off the stainless steel case and bracelet, and a reduced glare thanks to the mineral crystal dial window. Fiddle with your guarded crown or dual plunger-style chronograph operators, and you’ve merely scratched the surface of what this watch can do.

Triple subdials, date window, and an easy-to-read marking system that lights up in the dark. Between the luminous piping on the markings and hands, you’ll see things crystal clear, even when you push it to the limits and fathom down to 660 ft underwater. From the Swiss quartz movement to the analog display, everything will continue working like clockwork, even if you put the maximum allowed stress on this chronograph watch.
