FAQs

How long do the luminous markers last?

The Luminox Light Technology (LLT) is designed to glow continuously for up to 25 years without any external power source or need for 'charging' in light.

Is this watch suitable for swimming?

Yes, with a water resistance rating of 100 meters, the watch is suitable for swimming, snorkeling, and other water sports. Ensure the crown is screwed down before water exposure.

What is the case made of?

The case is made from a durable carbon fiber composite, which is lightweight and resistant to impacts and corrosion.

Can I change the strap?

Yes, the watch has a 26mm lug width, allowing you to replace the polyurethane strap with most aftermarket straps of the same size for a personalized look or different material.

How do I maintain the watch's water resistance?

Always ensure the crown is screwed down tightly after setting the time or date. It is recommended to have the water resistance checked periodically, especially if the watch is frequently submerged.

What type of movement does the watch use?

The watch is powered by a reliable Swiss quartz movement, known for its accuracy and low maintenance requirements.

What is the diameter of the watch case?

The approximate case diameter is 44mm.

Troubleshooting

Watch has stopped or is losing time.

The battery may be depleted. Replace the battery with a new one suitable for quartz movements. Ensure the crown is fully pushed in after setting the time.

Date is not changing correctly.

Ensure the date was set correctly outside the 9 PM to 3 AM window. Manually advance the time past midnight to see if the date changes. If the issue persists, consult a watch technician.

Luminosity is not visible.

Luminox Light Technology (LLT) is self-powered and does not require 'charging' from external light. If the markers are not glowing, the tritium gas tubes may have degraded over a very long period (many years). Contact customer support for potential servicing options.

Bezel is difficult to turn.

Small debris may be lodged under the bezel. Try rinsing the watch with fresh water and rotating the bezel gently. If the problem continues, professional cleaning may be required.

Pros and Cons

  • Excellent low-light visibility thanks to Luminox Light Technology.
  • Robust and durable construction suitable for rugged use.
  • Reliable Swiss quartz movement for accurate timekeeping.
  • Ample water resistance for water-based activities.
  • Lightweight feel despite its size due to the carbon composite case.

Cons

  • 44mm case diameter may be too large for smaller wrists.

  • Polyurethane strap, while durable, may not appeal to all aesthetic preferences.
  • Analog display lacks digital features like alarms or timers.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Time Setting: Pull the crown out to the furthest position and rotate it to set the correct hour and minute. Push the crown back in to start the watch.
  2. Date Setting: Pull the crown out to the first position and rotate it to set the date. *Note: Avoid setting the date between 9 PM and 3 AM to prevent potential damage to the movement.*

Compatibility:

  • This is a standalone analog watch and does not require connection to other devices.
  • The standard 26mm lug width allows for the replacement of the polyurethane strap with most aftermarket watch straps of the same size, offering customization options.

Care:

  • Cleaning: Rinse the watch with fresh water after exposure to salt water or chemicals. Clean the case and strap with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using harsh detergents or abrasive materials.
  • Strap Maintenance: Periodically check the polyurethane strap for signs of wear. Clean it with mild soap and water if necessary.
  • Water Resistance: Ensure the crown is screwed down properly after setting the time and date to maintain water resistance. Have the water resistance checked periodically, especially if frequently exposed to water.
  • Storage: Store the watch in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
