Original Navy SEAL 3001 

The Leatherback Sea Turtle pays homage to the Original Navy SEAL watch that made Luminox famous with its iconic turtle-inspired case shape. In 1993, assistant RDT&E Officer for the Navy SEALs, Nick North, was asked to seek a more dependable watch for night missions and found the solution when he discovered Luminox. He worked with Luminox to develop the Original Navy SEAL watch to their specifications and the rest was history.

24 years after the initial partnership with the US Navy SEALs, the Original Navy SEAL inspired Leatherback Sea Turtle collection is being introduced at an entry price point making it accessible to a broader consumer base, yet maintaining all the defining characteristics that Luminox is known for - lightweight, tough and reliable. The features include an incredibly strong Carbon compound case, an updated typeface on the dial to improve legibility, 100m water resistance, hardened mineral glass (8 on mohs hardness scale), a stainless steel double-gasket protected crown as well as the Luminox Light Technology that provides constant illumination 24/7 up to 25 years.

Always striving for maximum wearbility in all circumstacnces, the signature strap of the Leatherback Sea Turtle collection is now featuring a loop-lock that guarantees enhanced comfort on the wrist.

The new collection is available in both the popular 44mm size (0320 series) and a 39mm (0300 series) for those who prefer a slightly smaller option.
