Luminox says it has created the perfect modern day field watch in the form of the Atacama Field 1960 Series, named after the unforgiving Atacama Desert in northern Chile.
The watches have textured dials inspired by the terrain and rugged landscape of the desert and are made to be rugged and easy to read, making them the ideal companion in even the harshest environments.
The 43mm watches are made from steel with Black Carbonox and have the choice of sand, black or dark green textured dials with hands and hour markers lit up by highly visible Luminox Light Technology.
Field watches have their origins in World War I when soldiers needed reliable wristwatches. The genre remains popular to this day with people looking for an indestructible and reliable everyday timepiece.
The new Atacama Field 1960 is considerably larger than the original field watches, but embraces the aesthetic codes and rugged reliability required for trench warfare.
Every variation of the steel collection is sold on a sandwich black rubber and textile strap.
The quartz-based watches are priced from £429 to £479.
