The '2009 goal watches' featured a Traser watch which made me have a look at their website and find this watch....

http://www.h3watchshop.co.uk/Traser+H3+Watch+%7C+T...

It look pretty good value to me with sapphire glass, ETA 2824-2 automatic movement, solid stainless steel case and strap and the best illumination of any watch in the world, apparently.

Has any one got one? I've tried looking for other pics of the watch on Google images but have only found a couple.

Does anyone else think this is a good watch for the money (£225)?

Cheers.

Hehe! That would be my post! smile They are very nice watches and fantastic value for money considering their specification and the fact they are 'Swiss made' ... The Traser watches incorporate tritium, which is a radioactive isotope. This in turn gives off light for 10-15 years and does not require sunlight to charge the lume. The 'T25' marking incidates 25 millicuries of tritium is used.

Some watches go up to 'T100', which are even brighter smile

I think 'Bing o' has one, if I'm not mistaken? I fancy the Classic Chronograph Big Date Blue biggrin

I'm sure I've seen a couple in the Wrist Check thread?

I'd imagine they are much better quality than most you would pick up from the High Streets for that price!

They only do that one in quartz, and the only Auto is the classic pro.

Fantastic movement, great watches,

You can buy direct from the sole UK importer (he supplys the mail order company's), spoke to him a couple of times he is a top man.

I had one, untill I ploped it over the side while sailing. Had it for 6 years and it was a very tough watch, and kept good time. The lume on the dials is great too.

I really like the look of this, and the price seems ok too. Might have to look into it after May.

Some Army friends have them, due to the lume. Served them well, very tough.

The Traser product line is well worth a look - very well made and the way they're presented from new is surprisingly classy! I use a Big Date Alarm, the alarm is very useful - use it all the time, and those Tritium markers work in the dark all the time (guaranteed for at least 10 years) unlike any luxury brand where you need to wave your arm in the sunlight to get 5 minutes of illumination! Apparently the military like Tritium as they're always lurking around in the dark biggrin And the steel bracelet is designed just like a Rolli. I can't fault it as a daily wear - recommended.
