Bangalore, April 24, 2019: Like the U.S. Navy SEALS, military pilots flying the F-117 Nighthawk™ Stealth jets out of Edwards Air Force Base approached Luminox to make watches specifically for them, utilizing the brands unique design and the self-powered illumination system. The first Lockheed Martin project was the USAF F-117 Nighthawk™ Stealth series and 16 years later Luminox is proud to announce the redesigned F-117 Nighthawk™ GMT 6420 series paying homage to one of the most remarkable strategic fighter jets in aviation history.
The embodiment of stealth, the Lockheed Martin F-117 Nighthawk was the world’s first aircraft invisible to radar. Theory had postulated that radar beams could be reflected by a series of carefully angled triangular panels, and in reality the unconventional alien-looking aircraft proved to be 1,000 times less visible than any other aircraft ever created. Although retired in 2008, the F-117 became the basis for the design of subsequent stealth fighters, including the F-22 Raptor and F-35 Lightning II.
With its refined design, the Luminox F-117 Nighthawk series references the sleek charcoal aerodynamic contours of the aircraft, from the diamond–shaped faceted bezel to the angular links of the bracelet. The 44mm case sports a sandblasted finish to lend a matte look reminiscent of the jet’s surface. The Arabic numerals on the dial and bezel feature a stencil font from the cockpit in an ice blue Super Luminova for a glow-in-the-dark effect. Along with the LLTs (Luminox Light Technology) in contrasting vivid yellow, the watch has unmatched night visibility in all conditions and a singular stealth aesthetic.
