Luminox, the esteemed Swiss watchmaker, proudly unveils its latest offering: the Atacama Field 1960 Series of timepieces. Drawing inspiration from the rugged expanse of the Atacama Desert, this collection of Field watches boasts textured finish dials that echo the terrain and harsh beauty of the desert landscape. Crafted for ultimate performance, exceptional readability, and enduring durability, these watches embody Luminox’s unwavering dedication to exploration and the adventurous spirit.
The Atacama Field 1960 Series epitomizes the essence of a field watch. Characterized by a minimalist design, each timepiece features a spacious dial showcasing both 12- and 24-hour clocks, complemented by a distinctive red-tipped second hand and a red arrow adjacent to the date at 3 o’clock, ensuring instantaneous readability. As with all Luminox watches, these timepieces incorporate the brand’s signature Luminox Light Technology, guaranteeing unparalleled visibility in any lighting condition for an impressive span of twenty-five years.
The prominence of the field watch dates back to the First World War, when soldiers required reliable and portable timepieces for trench warfare. Instant readability and precise timing were imperative, leading to the development of compact wristwatches resilient to water and shock. This legacy shapes the distinct style of the Field watch – practical, rugged, and devoid of unnecessary ornamentation. Today, the Luminox Atacama Field continues this tradition, serving as an indispensable companion for professional explorers and adventurers.
For nearly a century, the Field watch has epitomized timeless style, steadily gaining popularity. The new Atacama Field 1960 series embraces this legacy, combining classic aesthetic elements with robust reliability in a modern rendition tailored for the harshest conditions. Available in three distinct color options – full blackout, dark green dial with sand hour numbers, and black dial with sand hour numbers – these watches are paired with a black rubber strap featuring black textile on top with tone-on-tone stitching and a signature CARBONOXTM buckle.
Crafted with Luminox’s proprietary 43mm CARBONOXTM case, these lightweight field watches deliver exceptional quality and durability at an accessible price point, catering to seasoned explorers and intrepid adventurers alike. With its understated design, the Atacama Field 1960 series is the perfect companion for those who dare to venture into the world’s most challenging environments, as well as those embarking on everyday adventures, no matter how big or small.
