The Solar Marine series is back by popular demand! This series was designed from scratch to be the perfect everyday companion. With a smaller 39mm size, light weight, a perfectly symmetrical dial design, and a durable, solar powered movement, the solar marine is packed with features and ready for adventure. This is a great multi-purpose dive watch with extremely high quality construction and the super clean, legible design that has made this one a fan favorite. Updated and upgraded for 2026, this one will exceed all expectations.

The Solar Marine cases are made from 316L Surgical grade stainless steel. We use forged construction to re-align the metal grain structure to increase fatigue strength by 37% over a typical cast steel case. This also eliminates voids and porosity in the metal, allowing for the finest possible finishing level.

A heat treatment is done to improve the stability of the metal during the forging process and to harden the metal surface after finishing.

After a micro polished finish is done by hand, we apply a Titanium Nitride PVD hard coating for good looks and extreme hardness and scratch resistance. This is the same coating that is used for drill bits to reduce wear. After the coating is done, we add a physical vapor deposited anti-fingerprint coating to fill any microscopic pores from the finishing process and leave an even smoother finish that prevents oily smudges and fingerprints on the case.

The thick, Hytrel mounted sapphire is enhanced by military grade anti-reflective coating applied to both sides of the sapphire.

Silicone lubricated, double Viton gasket seals are in the crown and the tightly sealed, threaded caseback to resist saltwater, chemicals and extreme hot and cold environments. Our sealing system has been tested to exceed our 300 meter depth rating by 30% ensuring complete sealing in not only water depths but in all environments.

Our anti-shock movement mounting system allows the movement to absorb impacts ensuring reliability remains even after an accidental drop on the ground or a solid bang against a wall.

A custom grade, thick nylon strap is included. The strap is looped through both sides to ensure the watch is not lost if a springbar becomes damaged. Our nylon straps are much more durable than typical straps of this type. Designed to be easy to re-size and fit just about any wrist with high comfort and a nearly weightless feel.

The luminous elements are printed with over 30 layers of top grade Super-Luminova material over a chemical coated, reflective base. This ensures maximum luminous performance in dark conditions by directing the output forward rather than allowing it to be lost into the dial. The semi-transparent solar dial allows light to reach the solar movement below. Our dials have been tested and verified by RcTritec in Switzerland to be top performers of the Super-Luminova material.

We back our watches with free seal cleaning and lubrication and pressure testing for life, right here in Ohio. We love to see our watches back in after 15+ years of strong service. By offering this service, not only do our customers get a confident ownership experience, we see first hand how our watches hold up over time in the real world and use this information to evolve our engineering and development for future models.

All LUM-TEC watches are designed and engineered in Ohio 100% from the ground up. Every watch is individually assembled here and fully tested to ensure absolute quality. Since 2007, we have quietly produced top quality watches for over 100 different brands around the world, US government, Swat teams and much more. LUM-TEC has always been our ultimate proving ground. The example of our top capabilities. No compromises, ever.
