Luminox went back to the drawing board for the Navy Seal 4230 and replaced the old casing—featured on previous generations of the Navy Seal line—with a new black IP-plated 316L stainless steel case, complemented by high-quality details that add to the look.

As a timepiece cleverly engineered for the Seals, this Luminox model can handle anything and is suitable for different environments, from rough terrain to modern day-to-day spaces, making it a quintessential military watch.

The partnership between Luminox and the Navy Seals dates back to 1992, when the first model was rolled out into the market. A few years later, it became the go-to model of various tactical teams, including the NYPD operational unit.

The new dial is highlighted by a textured finish and a red 24-hour scale that creates a beautiful color contrast with white hour markers. Just above the 6 o’clock denotation, there’s a small grey inscription that reads—Navy seals. While the front face is quite stylish, the case back also elevates the design to a new level with an American Eagle logo. Since the Navy Seal 4230 was designed for night missions, it’s equipped with the Luminox Light Technology (LLT), a signature system for enhancing visibility at night.

At the heart of the watch is the Ronda 715 LI, a Swiss Quartz with a powerful battery that can last for 96 months. This model can be worn with a black Velcro strap or a black rubber strap to offer different styling options.

The new Luminox Navy Seal 4230 costs $795 and has two straps.

New Ming 37.02 Ghost watch draws inspiration from architectural finishes
Ming's latest platinum watch is reminiscent of architectural components
Ming 37.02 Ghost

Popular for its minimalist aesthetic, Ming is now setting the standards with a new titanium watch, based on a previous 2024 model, the Ming 37.02. While the latest model has the same design as the 2024 edition, it is accentuated by a brushed finish that reflects light stylishly, making the watch look more modern. Ming’s main inspiration for the new watch was metallic finishes from different architectural components—baffles, claddings, struts, and buttresses.

Every Ming watch aligns with a certain theme. The LW.01 model, for instance, is made from a lightweight material and holds the title of the lightest model from the brand. Given that architectural finishes inspire the new Ghost model, the casing is made of Grade 2 titanium, a material that can be molded to align with the architectural theme.

Luxury watch creation always focuses on endurance. Clocks have been made with the intention of care and endurance, which is, of course, a sustainable practice. Even with this built-in endurance, the business sometimes lacked proper environmental tactics, and waste has been an unnecessary by-product of the industry.
Because buyers demand responsibility in product making these days, visionary watch companies now address their environmental impact. They do so with long-term plans that are more than just an advertising gimmick. These firms rethink everything from materials and production to packaging and brand ethos.
Below are five watch brands leading the charge with real environmental promise in 2025. This proves that luxury watchmaking can exist without compromising sustainability.

Rolex Submariner Ref 5512 1972 showing the dial and case

Introduced in 1953, the Rolex Submariner is recognized as the first purpose-built dive watch on the market, boasting water resistance up to 100 meters. In addition to this amazing feature, Submariner Rolex watches also come equipped with other extras that I particularly appreciate, including rotating 60-minute timing bezels, stainless steel cases, stainless steel three-link Oyster bracelets, black dials, and black bezels.

The earliest editions of Rolex Submariner watches featured 37 mm steel cases, no crown guards around the winding crowns, and radium-based luminescence. Eight references were manufactured during this initial phase of the series, ranging in water depth ratings, crown sizes, and dial styles. These early experimentation models only ensured that Rolex perfected a formula that combined elegance and precision. Are you ready to enter the world of Rolex Submariner? Here, we break down the full details of the iconic series.
