What is special about these watches?

Luminor from Radiomir
Radiomir is predecessors of the Luminor edition. Radiomirs were specially constructed for the Italian navy and their divers. These were water-proof and the screw-down crown and case backs rendered them iconic. They were also resistant to harsh conditions including temperature.
There is usually dark underwater. Radiomirs tackled the issue with markers that glowed in the dark and are usually placed on the hour hand of the watches. The hands are fitted on the back dial of the watch. However, it turned out that the material used to build Radiomir watches was highly radioactive, Luminor came into being. A protection bridge is inculcated in these watches to ensure the water-tight crowning.
These watches were first reserved for the Italian army, but later in the 1990s, they were commercialized.
