Luminox Silicone Master Carbon Seal Automatic Blue Dial Swiss Made Analogue Men Watch Xs.3863, Blue Band

I feel like I got this extremely sophisticated tactical looking timepiece for a great deal as, at the time of purchase, it only cost about half as much as it was listed for on the manufacturer’s website (Luminox.com) which was $1,295.⁰⁰. I was immediately drawn to this watch, specifically because of how impressive it looked and the amazing craftsmanship of the various features that are inherently special with the Luminox brand. It cost more than I was planning on paying but after considering that every feature that was important to me – automatic winding, luminous markers that don’t fade, day/date windows, quick release band, and particularly the contrast of black and blue colors (blue isn’t just my favorite color it’s almost more of an obsession) – with everything all being there, somehow packed into this gorgeous yet tactical and robust little package.
that was aesthetically pleasing and feels comfortable on the wrist. It was at that point, that I realized how inconsequential whatever numbers were on the price tag didn’t even matter anymore as this would be the last time (no pun intended) I’d have to fork out any money on another watch because it’s built to last a lifetime.

Now, due to some slight misalignments of the panels that showed the day of the week (Sun-Sat) and date of the month (1-30) on the first one I got, I ended up needing to return and reorder a new one which has so far been accurate and has performed completely flawlessly.

— HELPFUL TIPS —
I wasn’t able to find the correct user manual online, so it took me awhile to initially figure out how to resize the silicone band the first time around. I eventually got it to fit just right, but by the end of the surprisingly grueling process, I had no margin to make any finer sizing adjustments, and, even then, I had to swap the two pieces around to get it to fit comfortably without any chafing or difficulties working the clasp. However, on my second go around, I made sure to use a sharper pair of scissors and make slower cuts to remove the extra segments more precisely (I suggest cutting it as straight as possible and be sure to put the cuts directly through the center of those shallow grooves in between each pin hole part. Based on me having “average” sized wrists (I’m a 5’10 43yro 200lb adult Caucasian male for reference), in total, I ended up cutting two segments off either side plus one more from the side that attaches to the clasp with the three adjustment holes. So with those five total segments gone and the one side set to the holes closest to the inside of the clasp, it’s fits comfortably without being too tight or too loose. And that way I’ll at least have the option to either move it up to two places out to loosen it a bit or, worse case, remove an additional segment to tighten it.

/// IMPORTANT ///
If you want to avoid cutting too much and risk ruining it, then having to pay about 100 bucks for a new band, I’d highly recommend removing as few segments as possible and taking your time during this process. You can always go a little bit tighter or looser by moving the placement of the pins to one of the three holes in the clasp!

This model is one of the top models of Luminox.
Lovely watch. It has a cut to fit strap so get your sizing done from an authorised ethos boutique.

Pros :
Very very sturdy and good build for outdoor heavy use.
First Automatic watch from Luminox for rough and tough use so no need to worry about battery replacement in the future.
Very Light in weight and comfortable to wear.
The tritium tubes are easy to read in the dark and glow for 25 years.
The glow is constant and visible in the day and as well as night 24hrs. The glow of the tritium tubes doesn’t fade away and doesn’t need an external light source to charge and lasts for 25 years.
Got this watch for an absolute steal in the Great Indian Diwali Sale.
Decent look to wear out for formals as well as outdoors.

Cons :
The second hand is quite loud so if that might annoy you a bit but you’ll get used to it.
Shipping is very very slow from Ethos Watches.
Unboxing experience for a 1 lakh rupee watch is very very poor. Doesn’t even feel like a premium watch unboxing experience. No paperwork. Nothing. Only the watch and warranty card. The outside box also doesn’t feel premium for a 1 lakh rupee watch.

Tip : Get your cut to fit strap adjusted from an authorised dealer only as the straps costs around 8-10k.
Adjust your date and time carefully as this is an automatic watch and watch youtube videos before attempting on your own. Small mistake might chip the gears inside the watch. Google how to adjust automatic watch date and time. You will need to learn this as this watch has a power reserve of 38 hours and you’ll need to adjust everytime if you keep the watch idle for more than 2 days.

Resistente preciso y el sistema de visión nocturna de Luminox es incomparable.
Muy recomendable para usarse en actividades de deportes y al aire libre.
