Luminox ICE-SAR ARCTIC 1000 Series – CARBONOX 1002 Black/Red

As the official partner of the Icelandic Association for Search and Rescue (ICE-SAR) Luminox is committed to creating watches that meet the needs of these intrepid public servants as the go about their daily duties – which can mean dealing with volcanic eruptions, avalanches, shipwrecks, mega storms and even more.

The visual design of the ICE-SAR Arctic 1002 was inspired directly by the the ICE-SAR teams that use it. Watch hands inspired by carabiners and a red highlight on the subtle world map watch face design marks the location of the ICE-SAR headquarters in Reykjavik, truly expressing the level of detail and care that went into this design. Luminox went above and beyond to make sure that this watch could do its job  under the harshest conditions, this tool is professional grade.

The ICE-SAR teams need a timepiece on which they can rely, which is why they chose Luminox as their official timepiece. With its rugged, shock resistant construction, robust water resistance and luminosity, Luminox certainly fits the bill. In addition to ice, heavy rains and strong winds, ICE-SAR also has to deal with limited daylight visibility as Iceland remains in partial or total darkness during several months in winter. In such conditions Luminox watches and their unique self-powered illumination system – providing constant glow for up to 25 years – truly become an essential gear to ICE-SAR teams in order to conduct their missions.
