====== Traser ======
{{wst>image_r|Traser_Logo|Logo}}
**Traser** is a Swiss military watch manufacturer. Watches by **traser® H3** are developed primarily for military use and are built solid and functionally, on the other hand, they are characterized by a special lighting system, called //mb-microtec illumination//, which is recognized worldwide as the leading technology.

mb-microtec [[1968]] emerged from the traditional company merz+benteli, now working in the adhesives and sealants industry.

==== Benefits of the Traser lighting system ====
The light inserts used in Traser watches or the "trigalight" GTLS (gaseous tritium light sources) are up to 100 times brighter than other comparable products. In addition, they are self-luminous and completely independent of a battery, ie they require no external charge and deliver their luminosity without any device having to be operated (power button or the like).

Because of these advantages US military in the meantime has ordered more than 300,000 H3 watches till now.

==== The H3 luminous color ====
The [[luminous coating]] **Tritium H3** used by Traser is an artificially generated, heavy isotope of hydrogen (H3). In comparison with the well known luminescent LumiNova or [[Superluminova]], which is frequently used in the watch area, the latter during the first five minutes lies ahead in the light intensity, but then wanes rapidly and continuously. The radio-luminescent light of the traser® H3 watch, however, remains constant and ensures a unlimited readability in the dark.

==== The Collection ====
The majority of the collection consists of [[quartz watch]]es. The ranges are called // Military, Professional, Diver, Classic// and //Nautic//. In the //Classic// series there are also models with the proven mechanical [[self-winding]] movement [[ETA 2824-2]], which since [[2008]] is visible through a glass floor.
