help Luminox Field 3000 Series FAQ
How does the Luminox Field 3000 Series stay visible at night?
It uses self-powered tritium gas tubes that glow continuously without needing to be charged by sunlight. This differs from conventional luminous paint, which normally needs exposure to light before it glows.
Is the Luminox Field 3000 Series suitable for swimming?
Water resistance depends on the exact Field 3000 reference, so the caseback rating and manual should be checked before swimming. Luminox's Original Navy SEAL 3000 reference, for example, is listed at up to 200 meters, but that rating should not be assumed for every Field model.
How long does the tritium illumination last?
Tritium brightness gradually declines over time because tritium has a radioactive half-life of about 12.3 years. The tubes continue to glow as they age, but an older watch will normally appear dimmer than a new one.
Is the Luminox Field 3000 a quartz or automatic watch?
Most Luminox field and military-style watches use quartz movements, which provide battery-powered timekeeping and easy maintenance. Confirm the exact reference because the Field 3000 collection name identifies a family rather than one single movement.
