Luminox BlackOut EVO F-117 Nighthawk Stealth

Luminox BlackOut EVO F-117 Nighthawk Stealth

Unlike a number of recent entries from the American-owned Swiss watch brand, this new Luminox BlackOut EVO F-117 Nighthawk Stealth retails for much more impressive $850.



The price differential, probably, comes courtesy of a PVD-coated 45mm stainless steel case and bracelet, as well as a scratch-proof sapphire crystal covering its dial from the elements.

Joining the BlackOut family, the EVO F-117 Nighthawk Stealth has got its high-contrast black and white layout changed for a lot sexier (but not so legible) black-on-black edition.

The lack of contrast renders its GMT-capable unidirectional rotating bezel almost completely useless at night. Ditto the military-style secondary Arabic numerals at its dial: the black mother’s little helpers will be completely invisible even in a brightly lit room.

Well, it is just an accessory, right?
