Top Sellers | |  | Luminox Watches | Home » » » Luminox Men's 3007 Original Navy SEAL Dive Watch | | | | | | | Description: | | Prized for its durability and unique illumination system, the Luminox Original Navy SEAL Series 1 stainless steel men's watch exudes confidence and power whenever it's worn. Thanks to the vaunted Luminox self-powered illumination system, this watch's hands and dial markers glow 100 times brighter than other luminous watches and will provide continuous illumination for more than 25 years. It's also water resistant to 200 meters (20 ATM, 660 feet), which is suitable for recreational scuba diving. The large, black-plated stainless steel watch case--measuring 1.7 inches wide and 0.4 inches thick--is topped by a ratcheting, unidirectional rotating bezel with engraved 5-minute Arabic numerals in white and coin-edged detailing for an improved grip. The white dial face is accented by black Arabic numeral markers, large black-outlined baton hands (with seconds hand), and a date function at 3 o'clock. It's completed by a comfortable polyurethane (PU) diver's strap in black. Other features include a scratch-resistant sapphire crystal with anti-reflective coating, multi-jeweled Swiss quartz watch movement, double gasket crown, and 4-year battery life. It's backed by a 1-year Luminox warranty. Luminox Self-Powered Illumination System
Each Luminox watch employs tiny self-powered micro gas lights (borosilicate glass capsules), which are firmly embedded in the hands and the hour indicators on the watch face (as well as on the turning ring of diver's watches). Luminox watches need no external light source to "charge" the paint on the dial or hands in order to glow as do conventional luminous watches, nor do they require a push of a button to light the dial as do electro luminescent watches. About Luminox
Luminox combines the finest tradition and precision of Swiss watchmaking with the durability demanded by US armed forces and the latest innovations in timepiece technology. The company pioneered the development of small, individual luminescent tracer lamps and was contacted by the U.S. Navy SEAL teams to build a dive watch for their use on night missions. After their popularity in the Navy grew, the Air Force asked Luminox to develop a watch specifically for F-117 Nighthawk Stealth pilots. | | | Features: | |

 Good watch for the moneyFeb 17, 2007
By Mark
What made me give this 5 stars was the price comparison. For the money this watch is good quality & carries the tritium dial which is a nice if not essential touch. It's far brighter than the now extinct radium dials.
The case and strap give every impression of being durable although I'm not about to bash it around to find out. The general finish is good and the watch is comfortable to wear.
The white face against the black moulded case looks very good in my opinion. I mention this only because it's difficult to tell from the pictures on the web whether it'll look good in real life, but I think that it does.
I agree with the opinion of the other reviewer about the strap not being worth the money they were asking for replacement. The strap is good enough but not exactly special unless you're fanatical about having the Luminox stamp on the buckle. The practice of limiting the warranty to exclude the strap is a little poor, but I suspect widespread and not specific to Luminox.
One final niggle. If you examine the dial really (and I mean really) closely then you see that the second hand isn't absolutely and perfectly aligned with every second marker on the face. But you'd need to have a serious OCD problem to worry about this on a watch of this price.
Altogether very happy. Good price. Nice watch. Attractive tritium dial.

great watch for the moneyMay 12, 2007
By Michael P. Willis
I did a lot of comparison shopping for a sporty yet classy watch with a bezel, and it came down to Swiss Army vs. Luminox. My decision was made when I found this watch on sale for almost $100 dollars less than list price (thanks, Amazon!) and well below the cost of the Swiss Army watches I was looking at. Some people complain about the rubber wristband, but I like it. I'm sure it will break sooner or later, but no biggie. More importantly, the watch face itself is classy and easy to read. And it really is bright in the dark! I love the fact that you don't have to press a button to illuminate it. The bezel was a bit tough to rotate at first, but it's loosened up a bit since I first got it. It may not be as prestigious as a metal band watch, but it suits me just fine.

Great watch!Oct 21, 2011
By kscj
I purchased this watch from Amazon about 3 years ago. I wore this watch all through Basic Military Training and Tech School and haven't had any problems. The crystal is strong and the face is nice and bright. Great for Entry Control during dark hours because you don't have to take your hands off your weapon to check the time, there are no buttons to press! While the rubber watch band did break at the 3 year mark, it was only after I got the watch caught on a piece of equipment. I bought a 22mm NATO watchband for $16 bucks and it looks great and will never break.

A very nice watchSep 20, 2011
By Matthew Morales
"Matthew"
Overall I am very pleased with my 3007 Luminox, and it has served me well for the past three years.
PROs
-The lume is very good
-Bezel turns with ease
-Battery is still going strong
-White face edition (3007) is pretty cool in my opinion
CONs
-Strap needed to be replaced after the third year.
While the strap did break earlier than I would have liked, I also really beat up on the watch, and am almost suprised it lasted this long.

My favorite brand of watchAug 06, 2010
By S. R. Schnur

Some watches require two hands to see the time at night, one for the watch and one for the button. This watch is easily visible at night. It is also waterproof so I can wear it swimming or in the shower. I have always had one of these watches with a black face, and this one has a white one. The black numbers contrast well, and I think it is easier to see in the daylight than the watch with the black face. However, where Luminox watches are vastly superior to other watches are in that period of time where it is not fully dark. The black face works better there. I took off a half star for that.
I am allergic to some kinds of metal. This is another good reason to choose this watch. The four very tiny screws on the back almost never give me trouble. The band is rubber, and it is stiff enough that the buckle is never in contact with my wrist for extended periods. When that band gives out, there are silicone ones on the market that work well too.
The battery in these watches lasts for years. When I replaced the one in my last watch, I ruined the waterproof aspect. Since I kept forgetting and wearing it in the shower, it got moisture in it. Open it up and use a hair drier on it. Don't do as I did in haste after a couple of times and set it on top of the toaster oven. It will melt. Apparently one is supposed to send the watch somewhere to get a battery replacement and "pressurization" to retain the waterproof feature. That service is less than $40 which is cheaper than having to buy a new watch. That aspect lost it the other half star.
