The Leatherback SEA Turtle collection from Luminox takes its name from one of the ocean's most resilient sea creatures — the leatherback turtle — known for its strength and adaptability. Introduced as part of Luminox’s Outdoor series, the collection was created to offer lightweight, durable watches that perform in challenging conditions. By merging resilience with eco-friendly manufacturing processes, Luminox reinforces its commitment to sustainability, aiming to meet the demands of adventurers and environmental advocates alike. This collection is positioned as an accessible option within the Luminox line-up, providing dependable quality and iconic design at a competitive price point.
Design And Features
The Leatherback SEA Turtle watches are recognised for their CARBONOX™ cases — a proprietary Luminox material that is lightweight yet highly resistant to impact and wear. The 39mm and 44mm cases maintain a classic round shape with a distinctive 'turtle' silhouette, including a protected crown and complementary case structure. All models feature the Luminox Light Technology (LLT) for unmatched visibility in darkness, providing a constant glow for up to 25 years without requiring an external light source. With water resistance up to 100 metres, the watches also integrate a unidirectional rotating bezel for added utility, and their designs emphasise legibility with contrasting markers, hands, and dials. A black rubber strap offers excellent durability and wearer comfort?.
Notable Iterations
Among the key pieces in the Leatherback SEA Turtle range is the 39mm Outdoor model, which balances practicality and size, and the 44mm Leatherback SEA Turtle Giant, offering a bold wrist presence. These models maintain their signature lightweight CARBONOX™ build, paired with Swiss quartz movements and a focus on reliable functionality across diverse conditions. Noteworthy design touches include sand-tone markers for enhanced visibility and a SuperLumi-Nova bezel light at the 12 o'clock position for optimal readability.
