Luminox Men's A.1921.BO Atacama Analog Display Quartz Black Watch

This is my second "black out" edition Luminox timepiece, my first being the 3051 Navy Seal edition. The contrast between these two watches is striking, where the Navy Seal edition is all plastic with rubber straps and non-mineral crystal face, this watch is much more elegant, black-anodized metal case, leather straps, large dial with day and date, and sapphire face. Although true to its black out styling, it still maintains a rugged demeanor, and I expect the Atacama to hold up much better than the Navy Seal edition did. After two strap replacements and a battery replacement after only 2 years of ownership, along with a very scratched face, that watch while great in terms of function, was not a very good watch in terms of wearability in the long run. I've owned Timex expidition watches far longer with no such problems. While I still hold the 3051BO in high regard, to be a "Navy Seal" edition, it wasn't very tough after a couple years of everyday wear. After only my third day owning and wearing this watch, I am once again very happy to be a Luminox owner. Of course, you have a very stable, accurate, and quiet Swiss made quartz movement, as well as the tritium indexes, and black out treatment. But this watch also has a lot of style. It is just beautiful to look at, it has wear-with-anything flexibility and it's hard not to stare at it all day. The Sapphire crystal is simply flawless, the heft of the case is assuring yet lighter and more comfortable to wear all day than my Citizen eco-drive chrono, and the leather straps are thick, seem quite durable, and very stylish with the grey stitching, black-anodized rivets, and double-hook clasp. In fact, every bit of metal on this timepiece is black-anodized, even the case-back. Time will tell if the anodization holds up to everyday wear, but I'm impressed so far. I'd like to note that the second hand does not contain a tritium insert like the minute/hour hands and indexes. It looks like it does, or should, but the mark on the tip of the second hand is only meant to allow it to be seen against the black dial and grey index marks. Another reviewer sent his/hers back noting that the second hand does not illuminate, but that is per design. Under magnification, one can see that there is no tritium insert present on the second hand. I just thought I'd point that out. Also, this is a rather large watch, at a case-width of 45mm. Keep that in mind if you have smaller wrists. I'm a pretty hefty guy myself at 6'5"/240 lbs., so it fits me perfectly. And it's a screw-in crown, so unscrew it before pulling it out to set time/day/date. All-in-all, this is a very nice watch for the price, which is fair. It has a classic unimpeded design, looks really slick, and can be dressed up well. I highly recommend it.

Having owned some loud, sporty Kanaan models, these Atacama versions are a bit more dressy, formal and understated looking. The Tritium dots are bright and have different colors to help orient the 12 o'clock position and hands, against the other eleven dots. The wide leather band has the 24mm type double-latch design, so it's very stable against th wrist. The sapphire lens is anti-glare coated, though it's not the best coating as used on Revue-Thomen and other Swiss made watches, but it reflects less than some anti-glare coated Citizen and Seiko watches. I expect the battery in this quartz-Swiss movement to last about five years, as the mechanism seems to be the same one used in the Kanaan models.The PRESENTATION BOX this watch came in is very fancy with read leatherette on the pillow and inside top. If you plan to give as a gift, be sure to remove the thick, rubbery protective vinyl sleeve that covers the watch body; If it presses long against the inner top leatherette, the painted Luminox decal will melt away onto the vinyl.

It's a great looking watch all around. Its can be dressed up or down depending on the situation, so it is something that will be worn quite a bit. There is no audible ticking, it is easily legible day or night (the Tritium tubes look best in complete dark, but are visible in all settings aside from broad day light). I personally find the face to have the right amount of sophistication meaning that it is not too plain or overly cluttered.The strap is taking some time to break in because the leather is really thick, but it is very sturdy and looks and feels like it'll last for years.The clasp is also cool as hell with two prongs that rest on a little roller bar. If this watch can be found sub $300 it is definitely worth the money.

I have become really impressed with this brand, especially in the bang for your buck department. This is now my "dress" or night out watch. If I had one minor complaint it is just a bit too large for my arm / wrist, but not so much that it bothers me. Some dress shirts barely fit over it.Would definitely buy again.

Absolutely love this watch. It is big and extremely well built. The face at nighttime is not too bright to be distracting but not too dim to read it. In other words it's perfect. The band is of high quality leather and the whole watch just feels like quality. Very happy I made the purchase. I find that I am wearing it more than my Omega Sea master.

This is a great watch. Heavy duty watch case and leather band. Very easy to read. I aslo like the fact that it is all black. Sapphire crystal gives me a peace of mind that it will not scratch.. I highly recommend this watch.

I just received this watch. I am letting it rest on my desk to see if I can wear a watch this thick. Meanwhile, I found the instruction manual, such as it is, at: https://www.luminox.com/files/control_lx_ggm.l002.gmt.pdf.

Bought for RN husband, he wears it everyday he works. Loves it. Easy to read, perfect time.

Die Uhr an sich hat 5 Sterne verdient.Da null Sterne nicht gehen, gibt es halt einen Stern. Am Montag bestellt, sollte das Paket am Donnerstag eintreffen, okay es kam erst Freitagabend ....Voller Erwartung das Paket geöffnet und man findet eine abgenutze, gebrauchte Box vor. :(Auf der Unterseite mit Edding bekritzelt und ziemlich ramponiert. Fängt ja schon mal gut an.Box also aus der Umverpackung genommen und gewundert warum die so leicht ist. Antwort: Die Uhr fehlte schlichtweg! Es wurde ein leerer Karton geliefert! Keine Uhr, keine Garantiekarte, nix!Nun liegt die Beweislast beim Kunden! Arschkarte gezogen.

Excelente pieza de colección, con función de calendario E-DE, y precioso acabado en piel y metal negro. La correa le da todavía más elegancia a un reloj con caja de acero y zafiro, SWISS MADE

I like this watch because it is nice looking and easy to see time with no need to press any button.and this watch keep perfect time
