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!
Introducing, the Luminox G Collection
A collection of durable and rugged Swiss made watches
designed for everyday wear.
Available in a range of styles offering case sizes from
43-45mm, mineral crystal, CARBONOX™, and Stainless Steel,
Luminox G has it all.
Its proven Luminox Light Technology lighting system guarantees
self-powered readability in the night. “Always Visible” for up
to 25 years.

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 direc-
tion 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.

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 cir-
cumstances 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 surface
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 com-
pleted 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 move-
ment 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 climate
that you reside in. It is normal for the leather of your strap to darken with use over time.
