Does anyone have experience of the Traser Classic Chronograph BD Pro. I am considering buying this watch. It looks good and seems to be very robust.



Any advice appreciated.

I'd be worried about coating durability imo have you got any info on the coating spec?

The coating is PVD. I'm not exactly sure what that is.

Physical Vapour Deposition have they stated what the hardness is and or coating thickness?

I don't have any info on that. I will have to do some Googling.

I have a Traser H3, very happy with it's robustness, the tritium tubes are very bright at night... Overall, a very nice piece of kit.

Sold mine last month. Good solid watch, had no trouble with the coating.

Have a H3 and no problems at all with the coating. If anything, its a little light for me, (on a plain black nato) but the watch itself has been superb. Very bright lume and keeps good time..

I owned that exact model.

i thought it was a very well made watch for the money. the bracelet was very comfy despite being quite chunky.

i was originaly dissapointed with teh tritium tubes not seeming being as bright as my other watches but the difference is they stay teh same where super luminova dies down after a few miniutes.

i left it on my bedside table one nioght and had to put it in a draw and it lit teh whole room up blue and it annoyed teh hell out of me.

quite impressive smile

i had no problems with teh coating but i am gentle with watches.

pvd is resitant to scratches the problem is if you do scratch it, it becomes very obvious.

I bought that same model three months ago and have been wearing it daily since. The PVD has no marks or swirls and I have not been precious with it at all. I am very pleased with it but it is on the small side at 40mm with the current trend for larger watches. Having said that, at 40mm its the same size as the Rolex sports watches until they recently moved to 42mm. I bought it from a dealer in Germany and subsequently discovered Jura Watches in London stock it. Had I known that, I would have bought from them.

It's a keeper cool
