The "Maraglo" Basic Field Watch was built to a Government GSA contract that called for non-radioactive light sources for sensitive environments.  Proprietary "Maraglo" process.  Uses LumiNova material applied in a patented three step baked on process.  This results in superior illumination and will never breakdown with age. This watch keeps great time and operates flawlessly.  The illumination is fresh and very bright; simply expose to light and it will illuminate brightly for hours in low light or total darkness!  It will not lose its potency over time and will return to the same brightness when exposed to light again.  The timepiece features a high quality Swiss made precision jeweled Quartz Movement designed to withstand high G-forces and last many years.  The watch is water resistant to 3 ATM (it is not rated for continuous water immersion however). This is the authentic 1st quality military item and not the commercial, military style "Navy Seals" watch available to the general public marketed by Luminox nor the watches manufactured by MB-Microtec. It is powered by a new Eveready 395 watch battery that is accessible through a user serviceable battery hatch.  The watch is accurate to +/- 21 seconds per month (mine is actually right on after many weeks!).  By pulling the crown out, the second hand is stopped (hacked) for synchronization. 12 O'clock illuminated in red.
