Authentic. Automatic. Autonomous.
A sophisticated case construction, selected materials, and, of course, the self-illuminating trigalight technology: the P99 line is traser’s tactical flagship – and as the successor to the P6500, it embodies the brand’s DNA. Now, traser expands its tool watch collection with a fully autonomous variant: the new P99 A Tactical. As the “A” in the name suggests, the timepiece is powered by a Swiss automatic movement.
Reliability through independence: This has been traser’s guiding principle ever since the invention of the world’s first self-illuminating wristwatch in 1989 led to the founding of the brand. More than three decades later, the watch pioneer remains true to its roots – and now presents the new P99 A Tactical, a timepiece that combines highly functional materials with immense durability, and the independence of a Swiss automatic movement.
As Ambitious as its Users
Like a measuring instrument, all indications are optimized for optimal legibility: the hour and minute hands stand out in a distinctive red against the textured carbon fiber dial and matt black case. The date display is designed as an elongated cutout from six to nine o’clock, aligning parallelly to the minute track in order to enhance the clear dial design. The bidirectional rotating bezel features distinctly large numerals, promoting the ease of monitoring time intervals at a glance.
Thanks to a luminescent glass ring seal, a glowing marker on the crown, as well as trigalight self-illuminating elements on the hands and indices, and as a crosshair insert in the bezel, the P99 A Tactical can be reliably read and operated even in complete darkness. What is literally remarkable: the fine trigalight capillaries shine continuously for years without any external power source, and thus ensure –in combination with the Swiss automatic movement – a dependable and autonomous time display at any given moment.
Double the Durability
To protect the precise watch mechanics from severe impacts and shocks, the P99 A Tactical comes with a special case construction: a carbon-fiber-reinforced polymer encases an inner steel container as a second protective layer. A screwed-down crown with robust flank protection, scratch-resistant sapphire crystal, and a water resistance up to 20 bar further equip the double-composite case with additional resilience. Finally, a transparent case back offers a view of the automatic movement powering the watch.
The P99 A Tactical can be worn on the wrist with either a textile or rubber strap. In addition to the two black strap options, traser is introducing a textile version with a camouflage pattern.
From the choice of colors and materials to the special case construction and the technologies used, the P99 A Tactical makes no compromises – and reflects traser’s entire tool watch expertise.
