Review of the Traser Classic Automatic
PVD with a black dial and blue tritium tubes.Coincidentally, my collection needed a white dialed watch, so the decision was easy.The chanel ceramic came packaged in a very cheap and flimsy box that was marked"Traser H3". Normally I would deduct some serious points for inferior packaging, but for what I paid, I was willing to look the other way. Inside, I was pleased to find a great looking,***, and well manufactured watch on a 22mmsolid steel bracelet with SELs (solid end links, which my $500Tissot Seastar 1000 doesn't even have). The Classic is 40mm wide and fits my mediumsized wrist very well. The crown engages with a mechanical smoothnessvery similar to my Bathys, and can also be used to quick-set the date.This is not a divers ceramic chanel so the crown does not screw down, but thecase back does, and Traser claims 100 meters (330 feet) of water resistance.The watch has a *** printed dial that is easy to read, and thechapter ring houses twelve tritium tubes as low-light hour markers.View the Traser Classic Automatic Photo Gallery.For way too long now, I've been lusting after a watch with H3 tritium vials. I've always been a sucker for things that glow in the dark (my first watch was the original Timex Indiglo, after all), and luminescence is a big part of why I collect dive chanel online. A friend of mine recently bought a Ball Fireman, and after being completely mesmerized by the little glowing glass tubes inside, I decided it was time to get serious about tritium.I looked at everything from Ball to Luminox, however my curiosity was particularly piqued by Traser H3 Watches. Traser is owned by mb-microtec, the company that actually holdsthe patent for tritium H3 illumination technology.They have an entire lineup of watches that include divers,chronographs, and military watches. Buried deep in their web site Ifound the Traser Classic series: plain and *** stainless steel watchesthat house the fantastic ETA 2824 movement — the same movement found in myBathys 100 Fathom and my Tissot Seastar 1000.The Classic Automatic is the only automatic model in Traser's lineup, and it comes in four styles: Stainless steel with a white dial. Stainless steel with a black dial. PVD with a black dial.
