Review of the Luminox 6402 "Blackout"

If, for any reason, the watch's hands get out of whack (shock or high levels of magnetism can sometimes cause this to happen), the Seiko Brightz World Time will automatically realign then. How? The watch knows what time it is (obviously), and the watch knows where its hands are. Screw-down crown. You shouldn't have to use the crown much (if ever), but if you ever need to set the watch manually, you can. Unscrew the crown and pull it out to the second click to put the watch into manual time set mode, then use the top and bottom buttons to adjust the time. Pulling the crown out to the first click allows you to set the date manually. And it's a Brightz, so of course, it looks elegant and unique.The Seiko Brightz World Time goes for about $850. I've been reading about Lum-Tec for a while now, however their earlier models were mainly 44mm and up which wasn't appealing to me. They announced the C series early in 2009 at 38mm, and I was sold: cool movement, clean shape and design, low cost, and versatile to boot. I put in my reservation and got mine as promised in September. Notice also that they spent a disproportionate amount of time on a very well priced watch: this is much more than I'd expect to see from a watch that cost me under $400! I wore it to a multi-day business meeting as well as some wilderness hiking, and it was great for both. Not at all flashy or noticed, the two-tone case is interesting without drawing attention to itself. The pre-order price was $373 delivered, and they're now the regular price of $565.
