Traska Venturer GMT v4

"No great journey ever ends. Returning for the fourth time in 2024, the new-generation Venturer GMT features a series of refinements to both form and function that make this, perhaps, the most sophisticated watch that TRASKA has ever released (so far). The second crown at the 10 o'clock position that operates the internal rotating bezel is now screw-down making for rigorous dependability no matter how rough the journey. The end links have been subtly refined compared to previous iterations, while the new external bezel features sun-burst finishing and a polished chamfer that makes for a more textured and striking impression when viewed from any angle.

All of our watches are made from 316L surgical-grade stainless steel. This typically measures 200Hv on the Vickers hardness scale; however, after our signature hardening treatment is applied, we are able to achieve a hardness rating of almost 1200Hv. With this additional protection against the typical scratches and swirls that otherwise occur all too often during the rigors of everyday life, you can wear our watches without worry, using them like the robust tools they’re intended to be.

Cut from synthetic sapphire and measuring 9/10 on the Mohs hardness scale, the Venturer’s crystal is virtually impervious to scratches. Colloquially referred to as a “box style” crystal, its design is reminiscent of the plexiglass crystals that graced watches from a bygone era. This particular sapphire crystal also boasts a thick layer of clear anti-reflective coating on the underside — eliminating glare for easy reading even under direct sunlight. The Venturer makes use of a lacquered dial to achieve its glossy finish. The faceted hour indexes are meticulously filled with Swiss Made BGW9 Super-LumiNova® and then hand-applied with maximum precision. Placed strategically at the 6-hour position, the date window features its own distinctive polished frame, which complements the overall design.

Take in an additional time zone at a glance with the Venturer’s distinctive internal rotating bezel. Use the screw-down crown at the 10 o’clock position to adjust the luminescent Arabic numerals to correspond with the time difference you want to account for. The multi-faceted diamond-cut hands slope up on either side and then taper off to a flat plane with brushed finishing, creating a subtle visual effect that is pleasing even when not consciously registered. Filled with Swiss Made BGW9 Super-LumiNova®, the strong luminescence makes for easy reading, even in dim light.
