    Luminox Steel Colormark 38mm

    [Press Release] The new Luminox Steel Colormark 38mm watch is dedicated women who enjoy an active lifestyle.

    For Spring 2011, Luminox extends its line of tough yet elegant watches for women with the Steel Colormark 38mm Series 7250, a feminine interpretation of the popular Colormark series.

    The six watches in the collection combine beautiful satin-finished steel surfaces with refined details such as mother-of-pearl dials and attractive pink or blue numerals echoed by the contrast stitching of the black leather straps.

    They also exhibit all the hallmarks of the Luminox line: Swiss-made mechanisms for perfect functionality, strong materials and solid construction that stand up to everyday knocks, outstanding 200-meter water-resistance ratings, and proprietary Luminox Light Technology (LLT), which glows constantly for up to 25 years to illuminate the essential elements of the display and provide reliable legibility in low-light conditions.

    LLT employs micro gas lights mounted on the watch hands, at each hour on the dial, and on the bezel. The system is self-powered and never needs to be “charged” the way typical photoluminescent compounds do. An LLT dial conquers the darkness so its owner can always read the time. The Steel Colormark 38mm will look stylish day or night and glows continuously.
