The military standard of the United States Department of Defense

The new Luminox MIL-SPEC 3350 Series XL.3351.SET is perfect for military enthusiasts and those who value reliable and sturdy products. It adheres to the MIL-PRF-46374G standard, which defines durability, water resistance and quality as required by the U.S. Department of Defense. To earn the MIL-SPEC designation, a product must meet rigorous criteria for sourcing, production, materials, quality, and supply, as well as endure demanding durability tests under extreme conditions. The new Luminox watch is designed to be exceptionally robust. It’s equipped with a lightweight CARBONOXTM+ case and a 7-year battery life.

What are HeavyDrive and PreciDrive technologies in Luminox watches?

The MIL-SPEC standard defines the specific requirements that products must meet. The HeavyDrive mechanism is all about shock resistance. When a watch experiences a fall, it's not just the external materials that can be impacted; the interior components can also be damaged, potentially affecting the watch's functionality. HeavyDrive is specially designed to prevent the hands and movement from moving in the event of accidental impacts or significant falls, ensuring optimal performance and durability. On the other hand, PreciDrive plays a key role in timekeeping accuracy. It enables the Mil-Spec 3350 Series to offer an accuracy rating of +/- 10 seconds per year. Moreover, the watch is adequately protected against temperature fluctuations, making it suitable for use in various environments, whether on land, in the air, or underwater.
