MATERIALS 1
CARBONOXTM Luminox uses an innovative carbon compound material - CARBONOXTM - for its ultra-lightweight watches. CARBONOXTM is six times lighter than steel, three times lighter than titanium, non metallic, anti-allergenic and anti-magnetic. CARBONOXTM has strong chemical resistance, very low thermal extension, low heat expansion and is weatherproof — creating a very rigid and hard finished watch case that takes ruggedness and durability to a whole new level.

CARBONOX+TM CARBONOX+TM is a high performance carbon long bar compound, in which carbon fibers count for 40% of the compound. In addition to the many consumer benefits already provided by CARBONOXTM , CARBONOX+TM also delivers ultra-strong watch case, thanks to the rigidity of the carbon fibers, tensile strength, which is twice as high as with CARBONOXTM , while water absorption is three times lower. CARBONOX+TM imparts a very modern and distinctive gray colour to the Luminox watches.

CRYSTAL Our sapphire crystals are scratch resistant with anti-reflective coatings for superior readability at all times. Our mineral crystals are specially hardened (550 to 650 Vickers), approximately 20% harder than conventional mineral crystals.

STAINLESS STEEL Luminox uses high grade 316L stainless steel which has superior strength. 316L steel is also more scratch resistant and will not oxidize, rust or change color.
5
TITANIUM A high-tech material used in industries where weight and strength is important such as aerospace and automobile racing. Titanium is as strong as some steels, but 45 % lighter and non-allergenic for those with sensitive skin.
