CONGRATULATIONS! . . . . . on the purchase of your Luminox timepiece. Highly skilled
craftsmen using the latest technologies and finest materials built your state-of-the-art watch in
Switzerland. You can be assured of many years of enjoyment and accurate timekeeping from this
exceptional timepiece.
Luminox has been the driving force in self-powered illumination Swiss watches since 1989 and
continues to push the design envelope by incorporating classic watch design (form) with state-
of-the-art unparalleled illumination technology for the ultimate in time-at-a-glance readability
(function). Luminox continues to draw from its “real world” experience by making watches for
elite military and civilian organizations such as the following: U.S. Navy SEALs, U.S. Air Force
pilots, ATF, U.S. Border Patrol, Secret Service, FBI, Coast Guard, and many other highly respected
groups of professionals in the field of law enforcement and security.
In addition, we continue to cultivate prestigious partnerships with groups such as the USBSF (US
Bobsled and Skeleton Federation) and USACK (US Canoe and Kayak Association), and have
become the watch of choice for those leading “the active life”.
Thank you for your support of our product and welcome to the “Luminox Club”.

INSTRUCTIONS
QUARTZ MOVEMENTS
To Set the Date with Push Crowns: Pull out the crown one stop. Turn the crown clockwise
until the day/date displayed is the day before the actual date you want to set. (For example, if
today’s date is the 2nd, advance the date wheel to read the 1st). Then pull the crown out to the
second stop and rotate the crown advancing time forward, adjusting the hands until you reach
midnight. Continue to rotate the crown to your current time. If it is in the afternoon, you will need
to rotate the hour hand past 12:00 noon, the midday position. After setting the date, be certain to
push the crown in fully to ensure water resistance!
To Set the Time with Push Crowns: Pull the crown out fully (2 stops); turn in either direction
to set. Push in to restart the watch. After setting the time, be certain to push in the crown fully to
ensure water resistance!
To set the Date or Time with Screw-Down Crowns: Setting the date and time with
a screw down crown watch is the same as above; however to pull out the crown you must first
“unscrew” the crown by turning it in a counter clockwise direction until the crown releases from
the threaded tube. After adjusting the date and/or time, push the crown in and screw down in a
clockwise direction until the crown is sealed in a tight position to ensure water resistance.
To use the Diving Bezel (uni-directional): Rotate the bezel counter clockwise until the
0 on the bezel lines up with the minute hand. Track elapsed time by checking the minute hand
against bezel numbers, not the dial numbers.
Note: For night timing, set the 0 on the bezel at the desired number of elapsed minutes from the
minute hand position. Although the numbers will not be counting down, the 0 mark is the point to
which you are moving. Diving bezels are meant to turn counter clockwise only. Never force the
bezel to rotate clockwise.
Note: Not all Luminox watch models will have a diving bezel.

Setting the 2nd time zone or the 24-hour time display
(instead of a.m./p.m. time display):
Pull out crown Bto position 1.
Rotate counter clockwise until the indicator (I) shows the desired time in the 2nd time zone or
the 24-hour scale.
Push in crown Bto its normal position.
Using the GMT swivel ring: Pull out crown B to position 1. The number 24 on the outer ring,
rotatable on one or both sides (depending on model) must be set to 12 o’clock. Turn the crown
counter-clockwise until the GMT hand I shows the current time of the second time zone on the outer
ring. Press crown B back to the normal position and no longer adjust the outer ring. You can now read
the second time zone with the GMT hand I on the outer ring at any time.
To Set the 2nd Time Zone (GMT models only)

Water resistance
Luminox watches are water resistant and tested for pressures from 10 to 50 ATM, depending on the
model (as indicated on the case back of your watch), which is equal to a pressure at 100 to 500 meters
depth. The water resistance is rated based on laboratory pressure tests comparable to a swimmer or
diver sitting still at that pressure level. However many water-based activities involve a lot of movement
and other environmental changes which may challenge or defeat the water protection features of a
water resistant watch.
Water resistance cannot be permanently guaranteed. Extreme sudden changes in temperature,
accidental shock to the watch, even invisible by eye on crystal, crown or pushers, or exposure to
certain chemicals containing alcohol (suncream etc) causing the gaskets in your watch to dry out
prematurely, might compromise the water resistance of your timepiece.
With the exception of the turning bezel, the crown and/or pushers should never be operated
under water. Before wearing the watch in or under water, please ensure that all moving parts
are in rest position and that the crown has been pushed or screwed down tightly. After use in salt
water, your watch should be rinsed with clear fresh water and then cleaned and dried. Do not
under any circumstances open the watch by yourself.
GENERAL CARE AND MAINTENANCE GUIDELINES
Like any other piece of equipment, it is recommended that periodic maintenance be performed
on your timepiece. Observing the basic care and maintenance guidelines outlined below, in
conjunction with periodic service center cleanings, should ensure the reliability and prolonged
performance of your timepiece.
Cleaning
You should rinse your watch in fresh water occasionally to remove any sediment or other material
that may accumulate on the watch case or underneath the watch bezel during use.
This is especially important after immersion in salt water.
Crystals
Luminox watches are made with tempered mineral glass crystals, or sapphire glass crystals,
depending on the specific model. Sapphire glass crystals are highly scratch resistant; while
mineral glass crystals, though scratch resistant, are softer in composition and may exhibit sur-
face marring over time. A cracked, chipped, or loose crystal should be replaced immediately.

LIMITED WARRANTY
This Manufacturer’s Warranty Covers: Material and manufacturing defects existing at
the time of purchase. Warranty coverage commences only if the warranty certificate is dated and
completed by an Authorized Luminox Retailer. Warranty exceptions are listed below.
Duration of Warranty Coverage: This limited warranty runs for a period two (2) years
from the original date of purchase from an Authorized Luminox Dealer. The Luminox illumination
glass tubes, called LLT (LLT = Luminox Light Technology) inside your watch are calculated to glow
up to 25 years, with a guarantee to glow 10 years as of date of purchase, except when exposed
to strong shocks on the watch. Luminox – Always Visible.
This Manufacturer’s Warranty Does Not Cover: (1) normal wear and tear (or aging)
of band, crystal, bezel, crown, battery, or plating of metal components; (2) damage to your watch
caused by tampering with, misuse or abuse; (3) damage to the watch case or movement caused
by water entering the watch due to improper use or handling; (4) defects or damage to your
watch resulting from battery replacement, service or repairs performed by non-authorized
Luminox service or repair centers. (5) a watch obtained from an unauthorized Luminox dealer/
retailer.
What We Will Do to Correct the Problems: If your watch proves to be defective, we will
(at our option), either repair or replace it.
During sudden temperature variations, condensation may appear underneath the crystal of
your watch. This light fogging should dissipate on its own and will not affect the operation of the
movement in your watch.
We recommend that you have the water resistance of your watch inspected every 18-24 months
by an Authorized Luminox Dealer.
Battery
All Luminox quartz watches come with a 1.5 volt or Lithium 3 volt battery (depending on the model). A
1.5 volt battery will last approximately 18-36 months and a 3 volt battery will last approximately 36-72
months. Most Luminox movements have an EOL (end of life) feature to indicate limited remaining
battery life. When the second hand on your watch stops and then jumps forward four (4) seconds at
a time, it is time to have your battery changed. Do not under any circumstances open the watch by
yourself, please visit an Authorized Luminox Service Centre.
Leather Straps
If the words “water resistant” are imprinted on the inside of your strap, it has been treated to resist
moisture. The longevity of a leather strap depends on your wearing habits, care of the strap and cli-
mate that you reside in. It is normal for the leather of your strap to darken with use over time.

SERVICE INFORMATION
If your watch requires service, return it to the Authorized Luminox Service center located in your
country.
To locate an Authorized Luminox Repair Center in your country, please visit www.luminox.com

following items:
•A check or money order in the amount of $15.00 to cover the evaluation and return shipping
charges (applies only to U.S.A.)
•The original Warranty Service Card (affixed to the Sales Information Card), or the Sales
Information Card itself (should you prefer to retain your Warranty Card), which has been
completed by the Authorized Luminox Retailer from whom the watch was purchased.
•The case back of the watch should be legible and not have been manually altered to conceal
or destroy any serial numbers or identifying marks that have been placed on the watch during
the manufacturing process. To ensure warranty coverage, the Warranty Card must be filled
out by an authorized Luminox retailer.
Limitation of Duration of Implied Warranties; Limitation of Remedies:
THE DURATION OF ANY IMPLIED WARRANTY ON THIS WATCH, INCLUDING BUT NOT

Datum und Uhrzeit mit Schraubkrone einstellen: Um die Uhrzeit und das Datum mit
einer verschraubten Krone einzustellen, genauso vorgehen, wie oben für die Ausziehkrone beschrie-
ben; jedoch muss zuerst die Krone aufgeschraubt werden, damit sie herausgezogen werden kann.
Dazu die Krone gegen den Uhrzeigersinn drehen, bis sie sich vom Schraubgewinde löst. Die Krone
nach dem Einstellen des Datums und/oder der Uhrzeit wieder hinein drücken und durch Drehen der
Krone im Uhrzeigersinn die Krone wieder festschrauben.
Taucher-Lünette verwenden (in eine Richtung drehbar): Die Lünette entgegen dem
Uhrzeigersinn drehen, bis ihre Null-Marke auf dem Minutenzeiger steht. Die seit der Einstellung
der Lünette vergangenen Minuten können nun mithilfe des Minutenzeigers auf der Lünette abge-
lesen werden.
Hinweis: Die Null-Marke der Lünette in der Nacht von der Position des Minutenzeigers aus
auf die gewünschte Anzahl der abzulaufenden Minuten stellen. Die Zeit ist abgelaufen, wenn der
Minutenzeiger die Position der Null-Marke erreicht hat. Taucher-Lünetten können nur entgegen dem
Uhrzeigersinn gedreht werden. Versuchen Sie nicht, die Taucher-Lünette im Uhrzeigersinn zu drehen.
Hinweis: Nicht alle Luminox-Modelle verfügen über eine Taucher-Lünette.
