New Luminox watches

Not sure if you have had the chance to see these yet, but they are two new models from
Luminox. The first is the Luminox F-22 Raptor Chronograph which comes on a cool leather
strap, or titanium bracelet. Has a 44mm titanium black DLC case, 13 jewel Swiss quartz
Ronda Startech movement, along with an AR coated sapphire crytal, and 100 meter water
resistance. Here is a link to see the new Raptor..

Next up is the Luminox F-35 Lightning II which also comes with a choice of leather strap,
or bracelet which is stainless steel. The case is 45mm, has the AR coated sapphire crytsal
as well, and is water resistant to 100 meters. The watch has the Swiss quartz Ronda Startech
movement also. Here the link where this info came from..

I like the 2nd one. Purely for color reasons - not a red/black combo fan.
Used to really want a Luminox for the only affordable high lume choice.
So many other players now Lum-Tec and Deep Blue to name a couple.

I prefer the Raptor first example only for the cool day/date positions.
The rounded case bouts are a nice design aspect, and of course the trit tubes I love...
I am old school and still prefer function over form when it comes to mil watches.

That color scheme on the second one is nice Jeffrey ! ..Orange is just one of those
colors that looks so cool, and works so well on watches it seems. That whole excellent
lume thing is great too, but you are right, there is a lot of competition in that category
now like you said.

Thian, those day/date positions are interesting to see, and the case design is very different,
as well as eye-catching ! Even the bezels on both watches are unique with the Raptor having
those straight lines mixed in with the circular design, and the Lightning II having those notches
which are spaced apart. Neat stuff !

Awesome! Both are fabulous, I mostly like second one, nice strap and great dial. I like the colors very much. Thanks for sharing.

Don't mention it Morganwell. I also like both of those, and the second one is especially nice. There is just
something special about orange, and black with watches !
