Luminox Atacama Field, Field Watch, 43 mm

Known for their practical tool watches, Luminox created a utilitarian field watch bearing bold as well as classic cues in 2019. Named the Atacama Field, the collection derives inspiration from the formidable landscape and the unyielding spirit of the driest desert in the world, the Atacama in Chile. Subsequently, these watches are designed with a focus on durability and comfort, yet a sense of rugged charm and bold confidence remain crucial elements of their personality.

The Versatility Of Luminox Atacama Field

The current line-up of the Atacama Field collection creates a discerning blend of power and practicality. It consists of two broad series, the Atacama Field 1960 and the Atacama Field Automatic. The brand calls the 1960 watches ‘tough and rugged’, embodying an adventurous spirit to become a faithful companion for exploring uncharted lands. Their most cardinal element is the dial, fashioned beautifully with a grained texture to mimic the harsh terrain of the desert. This spartan yet visually compelling backdrop provides a rich contrast to the bold Arabic numerals markers. Further strengthening the audacious attitude, the Atacama Field 1960 features the brand’s high-performance CARBONOX™ case held by a rubber strap with a textile layer on the top. The Luminox Light Technology, which ensures a bright and continuous glow for almost 35 years, is the final element that seals the watch’s uncompromising functionality as a field watch.

While performance is the name of the game in the Atacama Field 1960 watches, aesthetical excellence runs point in the Atacama Field Automatic series. A stainless steel construction that delivers both strength and sophistication, automatic movement, and elegant dials define their refined persona. They transcend their role of a pragmatic field watch with clean lines and a curved profile to become a subtle everyday choice. In addition to their graceful design, these watches are also rife with function-oriented attributes, such as the 200 metres of water resistance, the use of sapphire crystal, and the option of a flexible fabric strap.
