Luminox and Bear Grylls: an ironclad combination
Posted 16 March 2020 by MiriamLuminox watches are known for their performance under extreme situations. The Swiss brand has previously worked with the best military and rescue organizations such as the Navy SEALs and the Icelandic Association for Search and Rescue (ICE-SAR). Survival expert Bear Grylls - a former SAS officer - is no stranger to Luminox's nearly indestructible watches. So it was almost inevitable that Luminox and Grylls would join forces. An ironclad combination.
Performing under extreme conditions
Anyone who has ever watched the Discovery Channel knows Bear Grylls. The fearless survival expert. With a cheerful face, a bit of a posh accent and sometimes strict manner, he guides viewers and participants in his show through exciting adventures. Surviving under extreme conditions is his specialty. A collaboration with Luminox was therefore obvious. Because the unique properties of these watches are indispensable in survival situations:
Luminox light technology
Luminox watches are always visible, under all lighting conditions. And that for up to 25 years.
Indestructible CARBONOX ™ case
Exclusive to Luminox: CARBONOX ™. A plastic, reinforced with carbon, which makes it light, hypoallergenic and very strong.
The Luminox Bear Grylls watches
The Luminox Bear Grylls watches have been developed in such a way that you have exactly the functions you need. With the introduction of this series in the spring of 2020, six models will be released: Four in the SEA category and two LAND. Two AIR models will also be released in the autumn.
Depending on the type of watch, the watches contain very practical functions such as: chronograph, compass, Morse code decoder, slide rule or walking speed scale. But even in the smallest design details everything has been thought of. For example, the XB.3797.KM has a strap made from paracord. This versatile rope can be used in survival situations as a fishing line, for lighting a fire and much more.
Of course, all Luminox watches are at least 20 ATM water resistant. This way you can be sure that your watch will continue to work under all circumstances. Even if you have to wade through a mountain stream or end up in a downpour.
Never give up
"Never give up" is Bear's motto. As hopeless as the situation may seem, stay positive and look for a way out. This motto is printed on the back of the case of this series of watches.
