Traser Outdoor Pioneer Chronograph

The Traser Outdoor Chronograph

Say hello to the all new Traser Outdoor Pioneer Chronograph.  Its the latest series available from Traser and it does something none of their other watches do.  It's an all new series with all new tricks!  On the surface, the watch looks like another in the ever expanding P6600 series but closer inspection reveals something completely different.  It's true there is a family resemblance but pretty much everything is new here.  It's slightly slimmer measuring in at 44 mm across the diameter and a little thicker top to bottom, measuring in at a chunky 14mm thick. 

But there is a reason for this extra thickness.  Firstly, this is a chronograph series and those movements require a little more room than a traditional 3-hand movement but more importantly, there is a little more room in there for it's secret weapon, the Tritium Illuminated Date Window.  That's right!  For the first time ever, Traser has made a watch with a fully illuminated date window.  

This was done by cutting out the numbers on the date wheel and then placing a Tritium tube underneath.  At night the effect is a perfectly readable date just like the rest of the hands/markers.  It works flawlessly and really adds that "X factor" to this series.  Normally this type of feature is only found on the really high end Tritium watch but Traser has done it and managed to keep the cost down too!  At a full retail price of $525, the Outdoor Pioneer Chronograph is a fantastic deal.

The rest of the watch is equally impressive as well.  just take a look at this list of features:

• MOVEMENT: Ronda Caliber 5030D Quartz Chronograph Movement
• 42 Month's Battery Life
• Lightweight Fiberglass Reinforced Polyamide Case
• Blackout Style Unidirectional Rotating Bezel
• K1 Ultra Tough, Scratch Resistant, Mineral Glass Crystal
• Water Resistant to 660 feet / 200 Meters below Sea Level
• Black Silicone Dive Style Strap
TRITIUM ILLUMINATION:

• Green Tritium on Number Markers 1 through 11
• Orange Tritium on the 12 o'clock marker
• Green Tritium Marker on the Time Elapse Bezel
• Green Tritium on the Hour Hand, Minute Hand AND Large Second Hand
• Green Tritium BELOW the Date Window to Illuminate the Date

Robust, durable and ready for anything, the Outdoor Pioneer series lives up to it's name.  It's the perfect watch for any situation and full Tritium illumination means that you will always be able to see the watch no matter where life takes you.  For more information, pricing and ordering information you can call us Toll Free at (888) 243-6329 visit us at one of our stores: Gem of the Day, TopFlight Watches or Time 4 Tritium.  Real watch experts are available to answer any of your questions in a no-hassle, no-pressure environment.  We love to talk watches.  Give us a call!                          

Fall Preview: Torgoen's T33 Series

"The T33 was made in commemoration of one of the most successful American planes in the history of the Airforce, the P51 North American Mustang. It was designed by Edgar Schmued and introduced in 1942 to be used in WWII, but it continued to be used in the Korean war and other conflicts. It broke many speed records for piston engine airplanes even decades after its production ended. The Mustang was used for a "fighter sweep" to clear the air for the B52 bombers. When the Mustangs started being used the Luftwaffe lost 17% of their pilots in one week." - Torgoen USA

The T33 is designed in the fashion of the P51 Mustang with features of the cockpit. It's inspiration was drawn from the legendary plane itself and is a striking looking time piece. Like most torgoen watches it was designed with pilots in mind. Clear and easy to read hands and markers are designed to be readable in the blink of an eye. The numbers, hands and markers take design ques directly from the instruments found on the P51. The idea is to not only borrow from the design of the P51 but also recreate the ideal readability. The last thing you need to do while flying is to have to stare at your instruments. You need to be able to tell at an instant exactly wehat is going on. The same is true for the T33 "Mustang" Collection.

On the inside is an all Swiss made Rhonda chronograph movement. Precise, well built and dependable. The case is solid stainless steel and it's available in a wide variety of dial colors and band options. In fact a total of 10 different options of this watch are available. Each has a nicely unique look and feel to it. With a collection this diverse, you would be hard pressed to not find a model that speaks to you personally.

Other key features include a K1 Mineral Crystal, 100 meter water resistance, true 12 hour chronograph and luminous hands and markers for night visibility. It's a truly striking Swiss made watch at a very affordable price. The watch has great fit and finish front and back as do all the newer Torgoen watches of late. Torgoen is really stepping up their game and changes company wide have set them on a new path to deliver the best quality available. The T33 "Mustang" Collection is a perfect example of the new direction and the quality they can produce.

Traser P6600 Shadow

Well, Traser has finally entered the "Blackout" market with entry of the P6600 Shadow. Now, up until this point, Luminox has been running away with the "Blackout" segment of the market. In fact, the Original Blackout from Luminox has sold so well that there is now a whole collection of watches by Luminox that feature the "Blackout" treatment. And to top it off, several of these watches are the best selling Luminox watches ever. So, it only makes sense for Traser to answer back with a "Blackout" watch of their own. Enter the P6600 Shadow...

Based off of the P6600 Mil-G platform this is maybe the best Blackout watch to come along yet. Although Traser's Blackout has arrived a year later than Luminox and many other Swiss brands in Blackout Design, they lead the field in making their Blackout to meet and exceed the new, tougher, MIL-W-46374F Specifications. The Traser P6600 Shadow is the leader in Military Stealth Watches.

Traser cut no corners in the manufacture of these watches. The P6600 Shadow uses the latest dual case design that basically places the precision Swiss movement inside two cases for the ultimate in shock and water protection. The watch utilizes a K1 Grade Mineral Glass Crystal for improved strength and durability and a carbon fiber unidirectional elapse time bezels with a tritium Traser dot at the 60 minute mark. The new Traser P6600 Shadow also utilizes full tritium illumination on the dial of the watch. This is the watch to wear when your very safety depends on having the precise time at a glance.

All of this in an all new slicker Blacked-Out version. The combination of style, durability, military precision and quality parts make this one of the best watches available today. The price makes it one of the best buys out there today. Combining all of the strengths and affordable price makes this the first MUST HAVE watch of 2012.

Torgoen's Newest Series - Alarm, GMT

We are pleased to introduce the newest series of Torgoen Swiss Professional Pilot's Watches, the T30 Collection. The T30's are the first Alarm Watches ever offered by Torgoen Swiss. And they off a fully independent 24 hour Military Style Hand and outer dial for tracking ZULU Time or a 2nd Time Zone. But we like the T30's because we think they are, by far, the best looking watches in the entire Torgoen line!

The Dual Time Hand (marked by a "24" on the end of the hand) hand can be set independently of the primary watch. It keeps track of time on the 24 hour scale with markers around the outer dial. Most pilots will set this hand to Greenwich Mean Time (GMT), often also called ZULU Time and used by all pilots for logs and record keeping. Travelers might want to use it to keep track of a 2nd time zone. The watch is easy to read and features a big triple date window and a sweep second subdial.

The T30 has a 12 hour analog alarm feature. Like most alarm wristwatches, the alarm is not loud and might not awaken a sound sleeper. It is ideal for keeping track of appointments or timing intervals. And like all the best Alarm watches, it is extremely east to set and use.

This really is my favorite Torgoen model currently available. It has style, function, clean design and easy to use. What more could you want? If you are interested in purchasing one of these you can visit one of our online stores. There you can find more photos, pricing and the full specs on this series. Check it out at TopFlight Watches or Gem of the Day.

The Lady Trooper - An actual Ladies Tritium Watch

The Watch Guys are please to announce yet another option for the ladies when it comes to Tritium illuminated watches. And for the first time in several years, it is actually a ladies size! Working with the designers and management at H3 Tactical, the premier Swiss Watchmakers of Tritium Timepieces, Gem of the Day™ assisted with the concept and the design of these beautiful ladies sport watches and have please to announce that they are finally here.

Until this new H3 Tactical Lady Trooper, all women's tritium illuminated watches were either larger midsize watches (around 40 millimeters) or downright huge men's sized watches (up to 50 millimeters). A true women's watch size was unavailable. But the new Lady Trooper is just a mere 29 millimeters in diameter. It's large enough to read easily, but still a true ladies sport watch.

The new Lady Trooper is made to the high standards H3 Tactical has established for all their watches, The watch case is 316 grade surgical stainless steel with a screw down back. The crystal is the new super hard and scratch resistant K1 mineral glass. And the watch is water resistant to 100 meters or 330 feet below sea level.

But the most important feature is the ultra bright, self powered Tritium Illumination. These watches glow up to 100 times brighter than conventional watches. And they never need to be recharged by any external light source. These watches will glow brightly for up to 25 years.

All of this in a lovely ladies size watch! Finally! Be sure to check out more info and purchasing details here: Gem of the Day, Time 4 Tritium and TopFlight Watches

Traser Elite Red

The all new TRASER P6600 Type 6 ELITE RED is the very first military grade watch to both offer the new RED TRITIUM and to meet and exceed the toughest military standards, MIL-SPEC-F. The P6600 is highly stable and shock resistant, with greatly improved water resistance. Traser watches are known throughout the world for their strength, durability and quality. But this new series is made to even a higher standard.

What makes the new P6600 RED ELITE so very different from all other military watches is the unique RED TRITIUM which is less bright than traditional green tritium. Although the wearer can read the time with precision accuracy in night ops, the watch cannot be spotted by others, protecting the wearing from being identified by the enemy.

Red Tritium has only recently been perfected by the engineers at Traser, H3 mb-microtec, the only manufacturer of Tritium Gas Tube illumination in the world. At this time only one watch has this very special feature. It is not available from any other manufacturer or on any other brand of watch.

On the ELITE RED, Red Tritium marks the hour, minute and second hands, as well as the hour positions. Blue Tritium marks only the 12 o'clock marker on the dial.

The Traser ELITE RED P6600 is also water resistant to 600 feet (200 meters) and has the improved K1 Hardened Mineral Glass Crystal for improved strength and scratch resistance.

Like it's nearly identical cousin, the Traser Mil-Spec-G, the new Traser P6600 ELITE RED has both a Day of the Week and a Date display.
