As part of this partnership, Luminox will be Red Bull Ampol Racing's official timing partner, offering high-performance watches designed to withstand the rigours of racing.
Luminox is distributed in Australia and New Zealand by Duraflex Group Australia. Managing director Phil Edwards said that the new partnership was a great fit due to shared passion.
"We are incredibly excited to partner with Red Bull Ampol Racing," he told Jeweller.
"Both Luminox and Red Bull Ampol Racing share a passion for excellence and a commitment to pushing the limits of performance. We look forward to supporting the team on and off the track."
Three new pieces have been released to mark the new partnership.
The Leatherback SEA Turtle Giant is a robust watch with a sleek 45mm carbonox case, featuring a unidirectional bezel and screw-in caseback. Designed for depths, it's water-resistant up to 100 meters.
The original Navy SEAL has been reimagined for Red Bull Ampol Racing – encased in robust 316L stainless steel, known for its corrosion resistance and hypoallergenic properties. The unidirectional carbonox bezel adds a layer of functionality.
Finally, the Red Bull Ampol Racing Pacific Diver Chronograph has been limited to just 100 pieces worldwide, and each watch box is signed by team drivers Broc Feeney and Will Brown.
Designed as a crucial tool for divers, this watch has a navy blue cut-to-fit rubber strap that ensures a comfortable and customised fit. The sleek stainless steel case is paired with a carbonox unidirectional bezel.
Tom Wilson, commercial director of Red Bull Ampol Racing, said that a shared enthusiasm for innovation was crucial.
"We are delighted to welcome Luminox to the Red Bull Ampol Racing family," he said.
"Their reputation for quality, presentation and innovation makes them the perfect partner for our team, I can’t wait to see this come to life when we launch the Red Bull Ampol Racing Luminox range later this year.”
Luminox X Red Bull Ampol Racing watches are available from www.luminox.com.au and in-store from mid-May. Prices range from $599 – $1,499.
