Beginning in 1992, the officer in charge of procurement for the Navy SEALs, Chief Nick North was given a unique mission: Cut through the darkness. The SEALs needed a wrist watch that was tough enough to withstand the most brutal conditions on earth, while also being designed in a way that allowed them to be used on night missions in the darkest corners of enemy territory. His search led him to Luminox, and a partnership with the world’s most elite force was born.
