New watches - limited edition for Czech soldiers

I just bought new watches manufactured by Swiss company Luminox. It is limited edition of 100 pieces, every with unique number. These watches are dedicated to Czech soldier Jiri REGI Schams, who was injured in Afghanistan by bomb explosion in 2008. Part of the proceeds from the sales will go to him and another really bad injured veteran from Afghanistan, who was attacked in Helmand province by rocket in 2012 - Lukas HIRO Hirka.

Design and the whole construction is based on regular Luminox 3051. Only modifications are inscription “REGI” on the dial and special rear part with number in the 100 pieces collection. Because of that, it’s really nice watches with cool minimalist design inspired by army life as all Luminox watches. The most unique thing on this watches is watch band. It’s NATO watch strap in special NATO DESERT TAN color. Luminox doesn’t sell straps in this color regularly and it’s some kind of identification mark of the collection.

Instigators of the whole action designed specal package with info about Jiri and Lukáš and basic specifications of watches and serial number.

Watches looks really cool with some gentle touch of military culture. But you can still wear them every day with normal clothes, because of unobtrusive conservative black colour and reasonable size.

In the picture, watches can looks like too big, but in reality they aren’t. Thanks to construction from carbon, they are really light and you almost don’t sense them on the hand. Great think is also bezel, which is really calming with nice sound. At least for me.

Manufacturer used his signature tritium vials technology for night vision in combination of blue and green. Sorry for bad quality of picture. In reality it´s much brighter and readable without any problem.

My first impressions are only good so far and it looks like solid watches which can survive some outdoor activity or swimming with reasonable price tag about 300$. And there is added value of the nice idea and a little help for real heroes who really need it too!

If you don’t need watches, you can buy just watchstrap and help these soldiers too! More info!
