Since time immemorial, the color gold has been used for the highest medals, awards, celebration of power and achievement as trophies have always been gold. In the Navy, the trident of the elite SEALs is gold, as are the rank stripes and buttons on military dress-uniforms. Gold represents success, power and accomplishment. The Navy SEAL 3508.GOLD military watch features a 45 mm CARBONOX case, which is light, tough and incredibly durable, and water resistant to 200 meters. The subtly elegant gold touches are on the hands, the crown, around the Luminox logo, the caseback, and the 12-hour numbers on the dial.
