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

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.

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.

The watch is great and not overly tactical styled like most others.I did get another band from luminox as the one this one comes with gets to smelling after a while and sweating.

Nice watch. appears well crafted--though my band did break. Disappointingly the illumination (the thing Luminox is famed for) is not usable---can't see time at night. In no way does it appear as depicted in the advertisement.

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.

Perfect watch to wear all day to work and it looks good enough you won't have to change it before going out for the night. The blue sunburst dial looks amazing. The lume is not as bright as I hoped but it is still usable. Great value for the money.

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

Great solid watch.
