LuminoxAtacama Field Automatic - Mens Watch 44mm - Military Watch in Silver/White Date Function - 200m Water Resistant - Sapphire Glass - Mens Watches - Made in Switzerland

This is that sexy! This Luminox Atacama automatic field watch has a combination of factors that hit my ‘sweet spot” in a big way! First, “olive green” would not have been my choice in strap or dial color on a watch (any watch). However, the green on this strap is about as charming a color as I’ve ever seen. It compliments the dial color and looks amazing. The watch strap felt very stiff out of the box. So, I was expecting a level of discomfort when trying it on. This is probably top 3 comfortable straps I’ve ever worn. Strap appears very durable on this watch.Color of the watch dial is the star of the show. I would describe the dial color as cream colored light beige. I’ve heard every color from white to silver. Definitely, not a boring dial with its concentric circles and various shades of color. The orange colored seconds hand appears to be the perfect shade of orange for this watch (also on the hour markers, military time numerals, and print on dial). That domed sapphire crystal is awesome! The watch appears to be very robust and smooth in operation. Day/date click over at the stroke of midnight. Watch has a signed screw-down crown. The case is brushed with just a glint of shimmer on the bezel. Movement is Sellita SW220-1. One word about the movement. Smooth!Cons:Day/date wheel in black (looks like a GMT hand in dim lighting at times)Watch runs fast +14 seconds dayTritium hour markers much brighter than handsHour/minute hands not clearly visible under TV light in the room (must be pitch black)Conclusion:This watch has that “It” factor. It is the sum of its parts that give it that special something! It wears very well at 44mm. I knew from the moment I saw it, that this is a keeper.

This watch looks great! Easy to read dial and the white face is easy to read. Runs a little fast as others have said but suppose that’s better than running slow. Great value for a waterproof, automatic watch that can be read in the dark.

I have wanted an Automatic watch with tritium for a while now. This Luminox Atacama Field Automatic checked all the boxes for me. I have 6 other watches but since buying this one I rarely wear them. The one change I made was to replace the watchband. Although the one that came with the watch is very nice, I wanted a waterproof watchband. Overall I am extremely happy with this watch.

My favorite Luminox watch was purchased 15 or 18 years ago. The trillium started to get weak and harder to read. So I bought other luminox watches but I did not like the face of the watch which was hard for me to read so wound up giving them to grandsons. One of which is currently in the Green Beret program. They like then a lot. Then I came across this Luminox - Atacama Field Automatic - Mens Watch 44mm. It is easy to read and the size fits my wrist better, wrist is a little over 8". Like everything about this watch. Thumbs up.

Overall: Upon receiving this particular piece with the green nylon strap, I immediately fell in love with the 19th century nostalgia, yet modernized with a 21st century touch. One thing I’d recommend luminox move into is an exhibition case back. If you wanna take this piece to perfection, give us a view of what’s inside. It’s a very marvelous time piece. It’s more accurate than my COSC certified pieces. All in all, it’s an amazing piece. Well worth the $795 asking price.Illumination: Obviously with any luminox piece, you’ll get tritium. If you are a military man… the illumination is bright enough for great reading in low light conditions, but still soft enough to not give up your position under the naked eye. The only thing missing is a piece of tritium on the seconds hand. Of course it would throw off the balance of the movement. And it would be a nice to have.Accuracy: This piece far exceeded my expectations. It’s fast by 3 seconds in a 24 hour period consistently. I wound it upon arrival for 20 revolutions. Seems to be the sweet spot. The power reserve is pretty weak tho.Overall, it’s a near perfect piece.

not 100% satisfied at this point. watch is great (so far) but what causes me to question it is that the watch box that it came in is NOT what is pictured. not sure why but now im curious as to the watches authenticity. buyer beware.

This is a watch that caught my eye from the very beginning of my Luminox journey. It has a simple dial design with red numbers showing military time black standard time. A thoughtful feature of the piece, is the calendar demonstrates the day of the week and day of the month. A bright tritium bar lights up each five-minute mark very clearly in the dark. However, because it’s an automatic movement watch, if it sits longer than 72 hours, you must wear it or store it in a winding case to maintain the correct time. It worth the cost

Well guys, I just thought I’d let y’all know I do a lot of hunting & fishing. I thought this would be the perfect watch I Purchased it December 8, 2023 has not even been a year yet stopped working. I went and put it in the jewelry shop to get it fixed. cost me $300 came out three weeks later stop working again. I don’t know if there’s a defect on this model, if our soldiers go into the field of battle with this brand watch !!!! well let’s say I hope it’s just the one that I purchased. I got a timex I paid bubblegum price for been with me for 16 years should’ve stayed with old faithful. Well, I have a pretty paperweight for the papers on my desk
