The latest watch presented by Luminox was introduced at the Baselworld event and goes by the name of EVO SR-71 Blackbird, an extremely sporty watch inspired by the jet which served as the Air Force 1 back in the 1990. The watch maintains the black design of the jet, as it uses materials based on PVD treated stainless steel.

Its impressive design will definitely make watch enthusiasts to queue up this time, if they want to enter in the possession of such exquisite timepiece.

The performance of the SR-71 Blackbird jet could only be celebrated, as the aircraft has performed great achievements in the world of American aviation.

        Following the same sporty line specific to the Luminox watches, the new Luminox EVO SR-71 Blackbird Watch is crafted from an over-sized 44 mm in diameter case and is made of PVD treated stainless steel. This adds more elegance to the black design, as the bracelet is crafted as well from the same material, and so it’s its dial.

        The dial is extremely legible, and is equipped with three sub-dials, a date window and also the logo of the Luminox watches located at the 2 o’clock position.

        The technical features of the new Luminox EVO SR-71 Blackbird Watch include a Swiss automatic mechanical movement, generating 42 hours of power reserve and 100 meters of water resistance, an interior positioned bezel meant to sustain diving activities and a date complication located at the 3 o’clock.

        The most amazing feature about this Luminox EVO SR-71 Blackbird Watch is the luminescence of its dial, which due to advanced technologies, can glow up to 25 years. The case is covered in sapphire crystal and is equipped with a shock resistant system, guaranteeing the best reliability in case of fall or accident. Designed to resist harsh environments, the new Luminox EVO SR-71 Blackbird Watch imitates some of the performance oriented features specific to the Air Force jet.
