Luminox EVO Navy Seal Blackout 3051 - In Stock For The Holidays

The new Luminox 3051 Blackout Tritium watch is now back in stock at Blue Tritium Watches. The Blackout has a similar design to the Luminox Navy SEAL 20th Anniversary Watch series, but features a unique "Blackout" appearance with all black case and dial details.

The look of the watches is completely blacked out, but telling time is still easy thanks to a tone-on-tone look via matte black dials and polished black numbers.

As a big exception compared to all other Luminox Watches the Luminox logo Shield is also black. The 44mm watch features a carbon-reinforced polymer case, screwed down caseback, protected crown, extra-hard mineral crystal, and is
equipped with a polyurethane strap.

The Luminox Navy Seal is quickly becoming of the most popular new Luminox watches models. The Luminox 3051 Blackout Watch is extremely popular and sells out fast - so order yours now.

LÜM-TEC watches

Blue Tritium Watches are excited to announce the arrival of our newest brand of watches to our store - LÜM-TEC!

LÜM-TEC is the brainchild of its American owner, Chris Wiegand, who has been making custom built watches and reluming dials for many years. Wiegand’s exquisite workmanship has won the hearts of many customers who suggested that he should start his own brand. And so LÜM-TEC was born.


Run by its parent company, Wiegand Custom Watch LLC, LÜM-TEC is a natural progression for the Wiegand family to bring to their many fans and collectors, quality timepieces that are still affordable.

About LÜM-TEC Watches
Each model is also highly limited, between 50-500 pieces worldwide, so you can be guaranteed a unique timepiece that won't be seen elsewhere.

MDV® TECHNOLOGY - "Maximum Darkness Visibility®" is a special 8-layer application of ultra bright glowing Swiss Superluminova® photo-luminescent material, producing an incredibly bright luminescent light afterglow charge upon exposure to UV light.

MDV® hands and dials are extremely visible in all light conditions for over 24 hours.

All prototypes are done by hand, and the factory replicates the curves, height, and finish (In factory - the lume is applied with a stylograph by machine).

A layer of titanium dioxide white is laid down by rotory print, then 6 layers of lume compound followed by a layer of clear gloss coat. Each step of this unique method must be done very carefully and elegantly so the final effect could be perfect. (a total of 8 layers applied)

MDV® technology is a registered trademark from Lüm-Tec and is the best method according to current technology possibilities!

All watches are finally tested, packaged and shipped out from Mentor, Ohio - the Home of Lüm-Tec.

About Mondaine Watches
The Mondaine Official Swiss Railways watch is proud to be associated with such an example of excellent 20th century design. The simple design, the unmistakable easy-to-read face, distinctive hands and the famous red seconds hand have made the Mondaine collection successful the world over. In 1944, Hans Hilfiker, a Swiss Engineer and Designer and employee of the Federal Swiss Railways, created a clock, which has become known as the Official Swiss Railways Clock. It is amazing just how long this design has endured and now it appears to take a place in the eternal hall of fame along side other well known design icons such as the Coca-Cola bottle, the Mercedes star, the Toblerone packaging, or the design of the US dollar bill.
