Luminox Essential Gear Land military quartz watch

The Luminox Essential Gear Land is the third and the last model in the new Luminox Essential Gear family of watches. It features the same overall design as the Essential Gear Sea and Air SAR models, but is available in different colors.

Yes, the Luminox Essential Gear Land is the only watch in the family that comes with two color schemes. Depending on your own tastes, you may choose it either in trendy black-on-black or with a more practical olive gray dial.

As usual, both versions of the watch have the standard Superluminova replaced for a more longer-lasting LLT technology.

While the Superluminova (or some other luminous substance of similar properties) will glow brightly only for three-four hours and then will gradually fade away, tritium tubes will emit their low-radioactive light literally for decades, because they don’t need external light sources to recharge.

The LLT tritium light tubes are colored red with an extra tube on the rotating bezel glowing ice-blue for better readability.

The watch, which is both light and rugged, comes with a carbon-reinforced plastic case and is worn using a black rubber strap with Luminox logo.

It is water resistant for 200 meters, which makes it a good diver, too.

The watchmaker doesn’t specify the movement that powers the Luminox Essential Gear Land, but it is known that it is a Swiss made quartz, so reliability, efficiency and accuracy is guaranteed.
