This Atacama Field 1961 watch is inspired by its namesake, the Atacama Desert. The full blackout design with textured finish dials evokes the terrain and rugged landscape of the desert. The timepiece presents a large dial that displays the 12- & 24-hour clock, along with a red tipped second hand and...more red arrow next to the date at 3 o’clock for instant readability. The dial is protected by sapphire crystal with anti-reflective coating. The 43 mm CARBONOX™ case is matched with a black rubber strap. show less
Like many other American success stories, Luminox came from a forward-thinking individual realizing a need in the market and meeting it. Barry Cohen, a watch industry veteran, came across a Swiss self-powered illumination system and knew that it would make watches more visible and easier to read in low or no light situations. He asked his friend Richard Timbo if he would like to join him. Luminox was born in 1989 (Lumi is Latin for light while Nox is Latin for night), driven by a commitment to offer cutting-edge luminescence and readability in its line of high-performance sports watches.
