Built to last. Designed to perform.
Luminox | Products and Materials
Luminox watches are crafted with cutting-edge materials built for the toughest conditions. From ultra-durable CARBONOX™ to sapphire crystal and high-grade stainless steel, every component is engineered for strength, resilience, and performance.
Whether on land, sea, or air, Luminox timepieces are designed to withstand the elements, so you can push your limits with confidence.
Discover Our Case & Bezel Materials
At Luminox, every watch is built for durability, performance, and style, starting with the case and bezel. These critical components protect the movement inside and define the character of each timepiece.
To ensure strength and reliability in any environment, we use only high-performance materials: CARBONOX™, CARBONOX™+, stainless steel, and titanium.
Each is engineered to withstand harsh conditions, rugged adventures, and the toughest challenges you face.
CARBONOX™
An innovative carbon compound material, CARBONOX™ is six times lighter than steel, three times lighter than titanium, non-metallic, anti-allergenic, and anti-magnetic. CARBONOX™ has strong chemical resistance, very low thermal expansion, low heat expansion, and is weatherproof – creating a very rigid and hard finished watch case that takes ruggedness and durability to a whole new level.
Discover CARBONOX™ and CARBONOX™+
CARBONOX™+
CARBONOX™+ is a high performance carbon long bar compound, in which carbon fibers count for 40% of the compound. In addition to the many consumer benefits already provided by CARBONOX™, CARBONOX™+ also delivers an ultra-strong watch case. That’s thanks to the rigidity of the carbon fibers; the tensile strength is twice as high as with CARBONOX™, while water absorption is three times lower.
Go Lighter, Go Stronger
316L Stainless steel
High-grade 316L stainless steel has superior strength and is used in various applications across our collections, including cases, bezels, and bracelets. 316L steel is also scratch-resistant and will not oxidize, rust, or change color.
Explore Stainless Steel
Fiber Glass
Our Fiber Glass compound offers a compelling combination of strength and resilience without adding unnecessary bulk. It provides a robust structure capable of withstanding extreme environments, resisting impacts and scratches effectively. Furthermore, its inherent resistance to moisture and chemicals ensures the watch case maintains its integrity and appearance over time, even in challenging conditions.
Strength in Every Fiber
Titanium
Extremely strong and durable in relation to its weight, Titanium is known for its high-level performance in all conditions. It is applied in various ways across the collection, including cases, bazels, and bracelets.
Go Titanium
Ceramic
Luminox primarily uses ceramic as bezel ring inserts in its premium automatic dive watches. It provides a high-quality finish to the watch, it's super scratch-resistant, and has a high level of water resistance.
Luxury in every detail
The Case Back
Luminox watch case backs are built for durability and protection. Depending on the model, we use CARBONOX™ or stainless steel, paired with either screw-on or screw-in designs to ensure a secure fit and reliable performance in any environment.
Materials
CARBONOX™ case backs deliver lightweight comfort and exceptional durability, protecting your watch from everyday wear and impacts. Being non-allergenic and anti-magnetic ensures comfortable, worry-free wear, while its resistance to corrosion keeps your watch looking great for longer.
316L STAINLESS STEEL case backs offer reliable durability, resisting scratches and corrosion to keep your watch looking good. This widely used material is also hypoallergenic. Its solid construction provides dependable protection for the watch movement within.

SCREW-ON
The case back is secured to the watch using several individual small screws. These screws pass through the case back and thread into the case itself. Removing this type of case back requires unscrewing each of these individual fasteners. While providing a secure closure, it's easily identifiable by the visible screws on the back of the watch.
SCREW-IN
This type of case back features threads around its entire circumference, allowing it to be directly screwed into the watch case. This method provides an exceptionally secure seal, contributing to higher water resistance ratings.

The Crown
Our crowns are engineered for reliability, featuring screw-in or push/pull designs with secure gaskets to protect against water and dust, keeping your watch performing in any environment.
Crown Protected
SECURITY GASKETS
These internal seals create a watertight barrier around the crown opening, preventing water, dust, and other particles from entering the watch case and damaging the movement. This crucial feature safeguards the watch's longevity and reliability, allowing you to wear it with confidence in various environments.
SCREW IN
This design allows the crown to be tightly screwed down against the case, creating a robust seal that significantly boosts water resistance and protects the delicate inner mechanisms from moisture and dust. This added security ensures the crown is less likely to be accidentally pulled, maintaining the watch's integrity in demanding conditions.
Glass Crystals
Luminox watches feature scratch-resistant sapphire crystals or hardened mineral glass, engineered to protect your dial while providing clear, effortless readability in any environment.
SAPPHIRE CRYSTAL
Our sapphire crystal is scratch-resistant with an anti-reflective coating for superior readability at all times.
HARDENED MINERAL CRYSTAL
Our mineral crystals are especially hardened (550 to 650 Vickers), approximately 20% harder than conventional mineral crystals.
Unmatched Visibility
Luminox Light Technology
All Luminox watches contain tiny self-powered micro gas light tubes. These self-powered tubes allow the watches to ensure a constant glow 24/7 for up to 25 years.
Super-LumiNova®
Super-LumiNova® is high performance phosphorescent pigment, also called "photo-luminescent" or "afterglow" pigments. These are the most commonly used, non-radioactive, and non-toxic alternatives for illuminating markings on timepiece dials and hands in the dark.
