The best feature of Traser watches is that they are guided by permanent light technology and hence are easily seen even in the dark. This makes them very popular among the military and Traser even offers them a special discount. Whenever you are looking to buy one of the designer watches then there are two things that you should take into account. The first thing is the name if the manufacturer and whether it is reliable. The other is the number of awards it might have received for providing the best products all through its business years. The number of awards received speaks for itself and people will automatically buy the product with that name. Seiko watches are one such product.The main issue with watches is their nighttime visibility. If luminous paint is used it needs to be charged either by a source of light like the sun. This may last for only about 20 minutes when it may start to get dim. An alternative for this could be the backlighting powered by battery but then again, the battery would be drained too soon. A new alternative that is available is the tritium gas which is extremely safe. This light source shines for a long period of time like 20 or more years, Traser watches make use of this feature. Seiko watches have won numerous awards. Some of them include the Grand Prix in 1990 at the Prix de la Ville de Gen��ve and the IEEE Milestone Award in 2004 for their Seiko Quarts Astron.The Traser watches are in great demand among the special forces like the Rangers, SBS, SAS and the French Foreign Legion. They make use of a low level radiation to glow and hence do not depend on a light charge or battery power. It is among the leading brands of designer watches. Other people among whom the Traser watches are very popular are outdoor people like hunters, fishermen and even the police and security personnel although aimed primarily at the military market.Besides the many awards that Seiko watches have received, Seiko watch manufacturers have gone along way. They have come out with the most innovative watches well ahead of any other manufacturer and over the years, they continue to design more and more watches to suit the requirements of their ever growing list of clients.Traser watches are more popular than with their female counterparts but there are a few women who might opt for these. Professionals like sports people, actors, teachers and executives might prefer the Seiko watches. Other designer watches that are available include the Superdry watches, Baume & Mercier watches, Oris watches, Suunto watches, Bell & Ross watches, Armani watches, Maurice Lacroix watches, Mondaine watches, Nixon watches and Raymond Weil watches.

TweetEmailIf you’re a regular Watch Report reader, you know how much I love the combination of atomic and solar, which usually means Casio. It looks like Seiko is getting serious about their atomic solar collections, however, and has announced the first atomic watch which works worldwide. Of course, “worldwide” means wherever there is an atomic clock, which is Japan (Fukushima and Kyushu), Germany (Frankfurt), and the US (Fort Collins, Colorado). In contrast, the atomic Casios I have only work in Japan and the US (and unfortunately, Casio makes plenty that only work in Japan).Initially, the watches will be additions to the Seiko Brightz line, which I love. Features will include:Worldwide radio-controlled atomic time calibration (Japan, Germany, and the US).Solar powered. When fully charged, the battery will hold enough power to run continuously for 6 months, or 1.5 years using the power saving function.Manual receiving function (which means you can calibrate the watch without waiting for its scheduled calibration time which is the middle of the night).Receive results display function (which means the watch will let you know that it has successfully calibrated).World time in 24 time zones.Automatic hand adjustment. If the hands become misaligned (as hands sometimes do due to magnetism or shock), it will automatically realign them.Bright titanium case and bracelet.Water-resistant to 10 ATM (that’s 10 BAR, 100 meters, or 330 feet).Seiko plans to start making these watches available in Japan in September of this year, and then in Europe at some point in the future. Yes, the US is conspicuously missing from their plans, but don’t worry — once they’re available, I will most definitely get my hands on one (I already have a trip to Asia planned for November), and I’ll be sure to post a couple reliable sources.Update (9/3/2005): I’ve received a lot of email about this post (there seems to be a lot of excitement about this watch) along with the following corrections and additional information:I state above that the only atomic clocks are in Japan, Germany, and the US. Nick Collingridge wrote in to let me know there is an atomic clock in Rugby, England, as well. The Ruby atomic clock transmits a time signal about 1,500 kilometers (937.5 miles) which covers all of the British Isles. It’s not clear whether this watch will calibrate with the atomic clock in Rugby, however I have come across several other watches that do. Thanks, Nick!Daniel Webb wrote in to let me know that the Casio WVA-440 synchronizes fine with the time signals transmitted from both the UK and Germany. Thanks, Daniel! It does not look like these watches will calibrate in the US or in Japan, though.Dirk Schillmoeller wrote in to let me know that Seiko’s claim to be the first to offer a worldwide atomic watch is actually incorrect. It turns out Junghans already has at least two watches that calibrate in the US, Japan, and in Europe. Their site is entirely in German, but I was able to read enough to confirm that Dirk is correct. Very interesting! I will look into this further. Thanks, Dirk!By Christian Cantrell
