Best Sports Watches For Men 2011

I was looking at several Luminox military watches and this 3051 Blackout Mens Watch catches my eye. It is totally black and stealthy, unlike the overly bright colors used on the Luminox Colormark tritium watch series.

The Luminox Evo Navy Seal 3051 Blackout uses tritium gas tubes for illumination at night. Unlike typical luminous paint used on other watches, these do not have to be charged by shining a bright light at the watch, and they maintain a constant brightness even if you leave the watch in a dark room for years. This is another requirement for real tactical watches.

Luminox Evo Blackout 3051 Mens Watch Info

If you look at the watch dial of the Luminox Evo Navy Seal 3051 Blackout carefully, you will see these tiny tubes. The designers decided to use blue and orange tritium markers that looked real cool and is an attention grabber at night. Note that the blue and orange tritium will be slightly dimmer compared to green tritium, but since this is not a diving watch, you can easily tell the time in the dark.

You probably cannot tell from the photos, but actually, there are 12/24 hour numbers printed on the watch dial for easy time telling. It is actually quite intelligible in the day although this is really where it slightly deviates from traditional military watch designs. Nothing beats white markers on black watch dial for the best intelligibility, but the black on black design wins a lot more points for style.

The watch is also made from carbon for its extreme lightweight features and the chasis remains very strong. If you are tired of wearing big chunky 44mm metal watches, try this top rated Luminox Evo Navy Seal 3051 Blackout.

The watch strap the comes with the Luminox 3051 Blackout is silky smooth and should be a silicon strap that is hypoallergenic and very comfortable to use. Unlike leather straps or nylon NATO/ZULU watch straps, this will not absorb sweat and start to stink or rot after a few weeks. If you want to buy a tactical watch with great styling, this Luminox 3051 is highly recommended for yourself or as an affordable watch gift to your friends.

Luminox Evo Blackout 3051 Features

• Lightweight - with its carbon watch casing, this only weighs about 50g. I hardly notice it on my wrist after I put in on eveyr morning.
• Bright watch lume - Radioactive tritium watches have the advantage of being always bright and do not have to be "charged" by shining a light on the watch face.
• Beauty - For fans of military tactical watches, you will love the Luminox 3051 Blackout with its traditional military 12/24 hour number markers and the all black finish.
• Comfort - Due to its light weight, you will not feel any discomfort. The straps are very comfortable compared to canvas NATO straps or stainless steel watch bands.

This is one of the best military specs watch among my collection. If you like watches with tactical styling and designs, you will love this Luminox Evo Navy Seal 3051 Blackout as well. Like all such watches, they are supposed to be as unobtrusive as possible, so they are not made big and chunky that may get into your way during a critical mission operation. The matte, stealth finishing is a very nice welcome change to all the bling bling watches on the market.

It is a very popular tactical tritium watch for men and often sold out. I have searched several places before finding the best prices at Amazon.
