Iceland has one of the most rugged and unpredictable landscapes on the face of the planet, and as a result, it boasts some of the most dedicated, highly trained and specialised Search and Rescue teams to match. As part of their daily duties, these professionals might have to deal with volcanic eruptions, avalanches, shipwrecks, and arctic mega-storms. Regularly faced with situations where every second counts, they need a time piece that they can rely on in the most severe and demanding circumstances. And that is exactly what Luminox have delivered in the ICE-SAR Arctic 1000 Series.

This watch features some of Luminox's toughest technology. The casing is made with their groundbreaking Carbonox, an innovative carbon compound that is three times lighter than aluminium, but carries the same hardness and rigidity as steel. This non-metallic, anti-magnetic material has strong chemical resistance, very low thermal extension, low heat expansion and is fully weatherproof.
Set into this incredibly durable case is Luminox's top quality Swiss-made mechanism. A Quartz movement gives incredible precision with no maintenance, to create a watch that remains reliably accurate over years of hard wear.

Therefore, it is vital to have a reliable timepiece that is easy-to-read in any conditions. The watches beautiful display features Luminox's signature Light Technology, a unique self-powered illumination system that uses tritium isotopes to give a constant glow for up to 25 years, so you'll never be left in the dark.

All of this is protected by a scratch resistant sapphire crystal screen, treated with an anti-reflective coating for superior readability at all times. The crystal minerals used in Luminox screens are specially treated to be approximately twenty percent harder than conventional mineral crystals.
