The Lum-Tec Combat series has been a favorite of pilots, soldiers, and serious watch enthusiasts since the original Combat B1 launched in 2007. Now the latest two members of the family — the Combat B67 Day Date and Combat B68 Day Date — have arrived at CGA Watches, and they raise the bar even higher.
Both watches keep the legendary Combat DNA: 43mm forged 316L surgical-grade stainless steel cases, 200-meter water resistance, and lume that actually performs when the lights go out. But each brings its own personality to the lineup.
The Combat B67 Day Date
This is the purest expression of the Combat formula. It features the signature forged construction that re-aligns the metal grain for +37% fatigue strength over cast steel, eliminates voids, and delivers a micro work-hardened surface that’s 8–10% more resistant to scratches and dings. Add the bead-blast finish and anti-fingerprint PVD coating, and you have a case that looks and feels like it was built for real-world abuse.Inside, the Miyota 2105 quartz day-date movement is protected by Lum-Tec’s anti-shock mounting system. The thick domed sapphire crystal with military-grade anti-reflective DLC coating gives outstanding clarity, while the 30+ layers of Grade A Swiss BGW9 Super-Luminova deliver the “glows like a torch” performance owners love. Two heavy-duty nylon military straps (black + gray) are included, looped through both spring bars so the watch stays on your wrist even if a springbar fails.
The Combat B68 Day Date
Same forged toughness, same incredible lume, but with a striking upgrade: a military-grade Titanium Carbide gunmetal PVD hard coating over the bead-blasted surface. The result is a stealthy, modern look that still shrugs off fingerprints and daily wear. The lume here uses Lum-Tec’s upgraded X1 Grade C3 Super-Luminova — even brighter and longer-lasting than previous generations.Both models share the deeply curved lugs that make the 51.5mm lug-to-lug feel surprisingly comfortable (many owners say it wears more like a 46–47mm watch). The double Viton gasket sealing system has been improved over 200% since the original B1 and is tested to exceed the 200-meter rating by 30%.
