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
luminox 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.
