Luminox has introduced the FORCE BLUE Pacific Diver, a mission-minded watch created with input from the veteran divers behind FORCE BLUE.
The result is a straightforward, durable quartz diver that favours usefulness over collector theatre, while drawing attention to an organisation working across veteran rehabilitation and marine conservation.
It’s a watch with a clear brief, from the high-contrast dial to the expandable strap designed to sit over diving kit.
At a glance
- Luminox has released the FORCE BLUE Pacific Diver in collaboration with FORCE BLUE veterans.
- The watch uses a 44mm stainless steel case, 200m water resistance, a CARBONOX dive bezel and a Swiss Ronda quartz movement.
- Priced at £675, it supports visibility for FORCE BLUE’s veteran rehabilitation and marine conservation work.
A diver tied to rehabilitation and reef work
FORCE BLUE is a non-profit organisation with a dual mission, helping America’s veterans transition their skills into meaningful underwater conservation work.
Its dive teams operate in designated marine sanctuaries, where veterans remove marine debris and contribute to hands-on conservation projects.
Luminox has supported the organisation for years, with the relationship becoming an official partnership in 2025.
The FORCE BLUE Pacific Diver turns that connection into a practical piece of equipment rather than a purely symbolic limited-edition exercise.
Blue, orange and built-in underwater clarity
The design leans heavily into FORCE BLUE’s visual identity, with a blue dial set against bright orange markings for strong underwater contrast.
Luminox’s luminescent gas tube hands and hour markers are central to the watch’s purpose, giving it dependable low-light readability without needing to be charged by external light.
A rope-style motif between the hour and minute tracks adds a subtle naval note without making the dial feel overly decorative.
The case measures 44mm across and 12mm thick, using stainless steel with a screw-down crown and a unidirectional CARBONOX timing bezel.
At 200 metres of water resistance, it’s built for serious recreational dive use while keeping the price within reach of the community it was designed to serve.
Quartz reliability and a strap requested by divers
Inside is the Swiss Ronda calibre 515, a quartz movement chosen for accuracy, durability and cost control.
That choice suits the character of the watch, which is intended to be worn in real diving conditions rather than treated as a safe queen.
The expandable blue rubber strap is one of the more telling details, as it was requested by FORCE BLUE veterans so the watch could be worn over wetsuits and other diving gear.
A stainless steel buckle keeps the setup simple and robust, reinforcing the sense that the watch was developed around field use first.

It’s legible, robust, sensibly priced and shaped by people who understand what a dive watch needs to do when it’s actually taken underwater.
