Functions: All Luminox watches feature a self-powered illumination system employing tiny micro gas light sources. This unique Swiss technology guarantees unsurpassed ability to read the time, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, for up to 25 years. Each watch has micro gas lights mounted on the hands, dial and, when necessary, also on the bezel. This unique technology does not depend on an external light source to \'charge\' fluorescent paint on the dial or hands in order to glow, nor do Luminox watches require the push of a button to light up as do watches with elctroluminescene. A bezel on-top of the stainless steel case features a compass to help you on an expedition in the harshest of climates. The compass works by using the position of the hour hand and the position of the sun, with the middle of the gap indicating south. If you then rotate the compass bezel so that its south indicator matches this, it will allow you to read other compass directions.   This watch has a water resistance of 200 metres, making it suitable for diving.
