Long story short:

The Luminox Recon Point Man 8820 Series Swiss Made 200M XL.8832.MI Mens Watch is an outstanding timepiece from a number of aspects. First one is that it’s delivered in a MOLLE (pronounced /'m?l.li?/; an acronym for Modular Lightweight Load-carrying Equipment) case; next, it’s the colors that offer stealth to its truest yet never hampers visibility; third, its ruggedness and fourth, a tachymeter that can measure walking speeds. It is this last point that confirms its Point-man theme.

The origin and utility:

Andrea Micheli, a former Swiss Army Military Security NCO, shared his concepts with Luminox to bring out the RECON Series. He did so under the requests from professional military personnel and this analog watch - a simple but efficient ground navigation tool – saw the daylights.

At a glance:

The Luminox Recon Point Man 8820 Series Swiss Made 200M XL.8832.MI Mens Watch has a colored countdown zone on the dial; an unidirectional ratcheting bezel to time dives, a highly scratch-resistant, non-reflective sapphire crystal, GMT function to track a second time-zone and a walking speed measuring scale that can measure in km/h. The strap houses a fully functional compass, which works independently from the rest of the watch. This new NAV SPC (Navigation Specialist) model from the RECON lineup has a 45mm by 12mm case and also a doubly-secured crown to prevent water seepage to the max.

What you can do with it:

A simple and efficient navigation tool when you are travelling on land, the Luminox Recon Point Man 8820 Series Swiss Made 200M XL.8832.MI Mens Watch allows to determine bearings on a normal sunny day, with the sun visible. You can also measure your walking/running/cycling speed with help from the graduated turning bezel and the contrast-color countdown quadrant of the dial. The compass on the strap tells you the direction you are heading or that you should head.

What went into it?

Luminox Watch Swiss quartz movement within a lightweight, black, carbon-reinforced polycarbonate case with impressive illumination that doesn’t need external light sources to function! The ionized gas inside the borosilicate capsules glow by themselves and will keep doing so for more than two decades before any need for replacement shows up.

Sort of a freebee:

The water resistance of the Luminox Recon Point Man 8820 Series Swiss Made 200M XL.8832.MI Mens Watch is equivalent to that of a serious diver’s; a watch meant for land use seldom has 660 feet of water resistance!

Good for what?

Professionals absolutely don’t need another person to tell them the Luminox Watch For Men is the thing for them; however, if you are not, then it can be your everyday tool watch. If you can use nothing else in the Luminox Recon Point Man 8820 Series Swiss Made 200M XL.8832.MI Mens Watch, you’ll be delighted with its bright lume; its low weight and the l-o-o-o-n-g battery life.
