Latest Luminox June 2020 new product information! !

Hello everyone who is reading my blog.

I am the staff in charge of Luminox at the eye eye isuzu G-Time store in Kagawa Prefecture.

It's already the rainy season and summer is getting closer.

Luminox watches are light, tough and water resistant.

The demand for Luminox will increase in the future, and summer is the season when the performance of Luminox can be fully demonstrated.



Well, everyone, thank you for waiting.

Luminox's long-awaited new product is finally on sale from the 13th.

The long-awaited new color of the popular series, a collaboration with that person who has been a hot topic even before its release.

Introducing new products all at once! !

Please try to find a model that shines on your wrist this summer! !

Introducing the first all-white model from the popular 3500 series! !


Well, here is the first introduction.

The 3500 series is extremely popular among the Luminox lineup.

Among them, it is the appearance of an all-white model that was unlikely.



Assuming missions in harsh silvery mountainous areas, white is added to the dial and indexes, which has a high camouflage effect in snowy fields, and white is also used for the case and bezel.

The entire watch is all white to enhance the camouflage effect in the snow.



Certainly this all-white model is a model that has never existed before.

Basically, Luminox has a lot of black, but since this model came out, when I lined it up at the store

It stands out in a good way.



The back cover is firmly engraved with the emblem of the US Navy SEALs.

It is also the reason why Luminox and Luminox are called the ultimate military watch, which are used by the forces called the strongest in the world.



Regarding the lighting, the green LLT system, which is currently widely used, is used.

After all, there will be more outdoor scenes at night in the summer.

Camping, night fishing, fireworks, Luminox, which emits light regardless of day or night, will be a reliable partner in the act of checking the time! !

*This photo was taken under a strong black light. Please note that it may differ from the actual lighting.



This is how I wear it with a 16 cm arm circumference.

It looks pretty solid, but it weighs 71g and is very light.

I personally use Luminox regularly, but the weight does not cause stress at all.

And tough and water resistant. I am a reliable companion.

This all-white model enhances stealth in the snowy mountains. The military background is indispensable, but it seems that it will be a good accent in fashion.

It seems that you will be addicted to the rough fashion in the summer.

The all-white model looks cool just by looking at it.

Personally, I think it will work well not only in summer but also in monotone fashion in winter.

How about the first all-white model in the popular series?






3507 Whiteout

LUMINOX Luminox NAVY SEAL 3500 SERIES Ref.3507 Whiteout
Price: 67,100 yen (tax included)





A long-awaited fan. A collaboration model with the world's strongest adventurer Bear Grylls! !


Well, everyone, thank you for waiting.

Finally, the model with that strongest adventurer will be released.

We have received more inquiries than before, and finally it was released in June.

Not to mention military fans, some of you may have seen the TV program introducing his survival skills.


What kind of person is Bear Grylls?


First of all, before introducing this collaboration model, I would like to briefly introduce the person named Bear Grylls.

1974

Edward Michael Grylls was born on June 7th in England.
The chemistry "Bear" is a nickname given to him by his older sister when he was one week old.
Bear's father is a former Royal Marine and politician.
Joined the Scouts from the ages of 8 to 13.
In addition to learning as a scout, my father taught me about mountaineering and boating.

1994

Joined the 21st Regiment of the British Army Special Air Service "SAS" and received combat and survival training.
However, he fractured his spine in three places in a parachute accident in southern Africa.
Despite being told that he might never be able to walk again, Bear does not give up and works hard at rehabilitation.

1997


At the age of 23, the recovered Behr attempted to climb Mount Everest from Ama Dablam in Nepal.
Bear climbed to an altitude of 22,000 feet and entered the Guinness Book of Records as the youngest British person to climb Mount Everest.

2003


After being discharged from the SAS, Bear embarked on many adventures.
Lead a team to success on a jet ski circumnavigation of the British Isles.
After that, with the support of the British Navy, he made many achievements, such as successfully completing the 3,500-mile North Atlantic Arctic Ocean regret with a composite ship.

2004


For his many feats, Baer was awarded the rank of Major, an honorary rank in the Royal Navy Reserve.

2013

He was awarded the rank of lieutenant colonel, an honorary rank in the Royal Navy Reserve.
The program "Survival Game" started in 2006 and entered the Discovery Channel and American prime time.
This program, which introduces survival techniques in extreme environments, has captured the hearts of American viewers and became a big hit.
Outside of his television appearances, he has set new world records for expeditions from Antarctica to the Arctic and has raised $2.5 million for children around the world.



I would like to give you a brief introduction to Bear's background.

I have also seen his program, but I was captivated by the events that occurred one after another, such as survival in extreme conditions from the jungle to the desert, being stung by a bee and not being able to open my eyes, and eating insects.

Well, let's check out the collaboration model with such Bear Grylls right away.

BEAR GRYLLS SURVIVAL 3740 MASTER SERIES


First of all , let's start with the master series, the series that has received the most attention in this collaboration model.

The model worn by Bear himself in the image at the top of this article is also the master series, Ref.3749.





Thank you all for your patience.

Finally , the Master Series 3749 model worn by Bear Grylls himself has arrived! !

I would like to introduce you here.

This is the model that received the most inquiries among the collaboration models this time.

However, the arrival was quite late, and we apologize for the inconvenience to many Luminox fans.

We have finally received the first shipment this time, but since it is the most popular, the first shipment is quite small. It is not yet decided when the next arrival will be, so please check it out as soon as possible!




I introduced the detailed specs in the all-black model earlier, but there is no big difference in terms of specs.



As you can see, the orange band is bright.

The texture is not too bad.



This is how I wear it with a 16 cm arm circumference.



Orange is used everywhere in the limited BOX, and I think it's a familiar color for Bear Grylls fans.

Many of the survival goods, knives and outdoor goods that he collaborated with are orange.

This Bear Grylls-like color is probably the most popular reason.

The most popular collaboration model this time! Please check it out! !



Next is a stylish model that is all black.


Ref,3741 ¥107.800 tax included


Case width: 45mm
Case thickness: 14mm
Belt: 24mm wide
Case: CarbonoxTM +
Bezel: Unidirectional rotating bezel
Back cover: Screw-in type
Crown: Screw-in type
Windshield: Sapphire crystal glass
Waterproof: 300m/30atm
Movement: Quartz (chronograph)
Movement: Manufacturer Ronda 5030.D (Quartz)
Battery: About 4 years from manufacture
Strap: Natural rubber strap Weight: 98g

This Bear Grylls model is an appearance in a limited BOX.



Even just the box is pretty cool.

There may be some fans who want just the BOX.



Starting with the chronograph, many memories and numbers are engraved. Isn't there a lot of people who think?

However, this design is the functionality itself to survive in every harsh field! !



First of all, the case material is a tough material that Luminox is proud of, assuming all kinds of harsh situations.
Uses "Carbonox". This light and durable material protects your watch from scratches in any situation.

Equipped with a chronograph function for accurate time management in survival where 1 minute 1 second determines life and death.



The glass is made of sapphire glass, which has excellent scratch resistance, so it protects the glass from scratches when it hits something in everyday life.

Another thing I would like you to pay attention to is the crown, which has an orange rubber crown ring that makes it easy to grip when changing the time and calendar display.

I've also tried various things, but the feeling of this crown is addictive.



A compass is attached to the belt in a characteristic part.

Not only can it be used outdoors, but it is also removable, so if you want to use it as a fashion item, you can remove it and use it.







The back cover of the watch has the letters "NEVER GIVE UP", which is Bear's motto.

It's a motto unique to Bear, who has overcome many difficulties on his own.





Of course, the LLT system, which is the identity of Luminox, cannot be overlooked.





Unlike the normal model, LLT is placed at every angle.

It has a very unusual way of lighting among Luminox.

This is probably a point that Luminox fans cannot miss.



The drawing is like this.

Rather than a watch, it is an indispensable tool for surviving in extreme conditions. I really feel the atmosphere.

Thick needles are also rugged and cool!

A model that is packed with functions assuming every situation.

It is no exaggeration to say that the performance of the Luminox series is the highest peak .

BEAR GRYLLS SURVIVAL 3720 SEA SERIES


As the name SEA suggests, this model is a diver's watch that pursues simplicity.



This model is also a limited BOX specification, and two types of models, blue and orange, are lined up.

Compared to the master series introduced earlier , it looks quite simple.



The clean look and thick hands and characteristic dot indexes make it easy to check the time.

The color scheme of the bezel has been changed for the one-way time limit of 20 minutes for the cylinder used when diving, making it easier to manage the diving time.







It looks like this when lit.

The crown guard attached to the crown is a personal favorite.

It feels good to be squishy.



The worn image looks like this.

The size is 42mm , which is relatively small among Luminox, so it is quite easy to use.

The soft rubber belt fits your arm gently, so it is comfortable to wear.

Among the many Luminox models, this model is recommended for those who want to use it roughly!
