CARBONOX™ is an innovative carbon compound material created in 2006 to design ultra-lightweight and durable watches. CARBONOX™ was inspired by professionals around the world who choose carbon because of its perfect combination of strength and resilience. Since its introduction into the Luminox production, it has been highly favored by elite professional and outdoor enthusiasts. Due to its rigid and hard finishes, we can create watch cases that take ruggedness and durability to a whole new level.

Depending on model, 10% to 30% of carbon is used. The balance material is either PC (polycarbonate) or PPS (polyphenylene sulfide). The usage of CARBONOX™ makes the case much harder then normal fossil oil materials used in the watch industry, which offers a longer lifespan as well. Carbon materials are regularly used in high tech industries such as construction, automotive racing and aerospace.

Today, consumers are familiar with carbon in a variety of goods and equipment where it is used as a lightweight alternative to materials such as aluminum.

Luminox took CARBONOX™ to the next level, CARBONOX™+ is a high performance carbon long bar compound, in which carbon fibers account for 40% of the compound. In addition, to the many consumer benefits already provided by CARBONOX™. The rigidity of the carbon fibers in CARBONOX™+ helps to deliver additional strength to our already strong watch cases. This offers a long lifespan, comparable to stainless steel. Tensile strength of CARBONOX™+ is twice as high as CARBONOX™. The water resistance is three times lower.

CARBONOX™+ showcases a very modern and distinctive gray color to the Luminox watches with visible carbon fiber patterns throughout the case. This effect makes it an even more appealing timepiece.
