Traser H3 watches

The company - an industry leader with a unique technology
Mb-microtec is located in Niederwangen just outside Berne, Switzerland. In the early 1970s, mb-microtec developed the technology to produce light sources so small that they could be installed on the hands and dial of a wrist-watch. These light sources, called trigalight, are independent of a battery or any other source of outside energy, never need recharging or servicing and do not require the push of a button. They are 100 times brighter than comparable illumination systems and have a lifespan of more than 20 years. Self-illuminating light sources for Exit signs in places such as hotel corridors or airplanes to lead people to safety in an emergency with a power failure were some of the early and more traditional applications of this technology.

The technology - innovative Swiss technology
Decades of research in the field of radio luminescence preceded the development and commercial use of trigalight in watches. Trigalight are tiny glass vials hermetically sealed, coated on the inside with phosphorescent material and filled with minute amount of tritium gas. Electrons emitted from the gas excite the material to give off a permanent cold light. Individual trigalight for watches are laser cut and sealed airtight, so no gas ever escapes.

Traser offers six types of watches on the Australian market, including Military, Professional, Diver, Classic Nautic and Aviator watches. Two new models have been introduced this year, including the Classic Chronograph Carbon Pro and Military P 6600 Type 6 Mil-G watches.
