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 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.
