GIVEAWAY: Traser Red Combat Watch
As a watch lover you may not have heard as much about Traser watches as you should have. The brand has been selling durable professional-use timepieces mostly to law enforcement, military, and other active professionals that need highly reliable timekeepers. Traser is actually part of MB Microtec – the Swiss company that produces all the tritium gas tubes you’ll find in watches. These small self-illuminating tubes are a preferred form of luminant for many people. All Traser watches contain MB Microtec tubes and the new for 2014 Red Combat is no exception.Designed to be light and durable, the Red Combat has a 45mm wide glass-fiber reinforced resin case that is just 80 grams in weight. The all-black design is accented with red, including the hands and hour markers (which also contain Tritium gas tubes). The case has a rotating timing bezel (made from steel not resin) and the case is water resistant to about 200 meters. The Red Combat features a sapphire crystal and inner stee
Ferragamo 1898 Sport Watch SFDU00419 Hands-On
Italian fashion house Salvatore Ferragamo has been producing wristwatches in collaboration with manufacturer and licensing partner the Timex Group for quite some time. My favorite Ferragamo watches continue to be in their longstanding F-80 sport watch collection - but that is a story for another day. Today, I look at another Ferragamo sport watch: the Ferragamo 1898, which is a diver’s watch GMT-style timepiece.New for 2019, the Ferragamo 1898 Sport initially comes in a few versions, this being the blue and red bezel reference SFDU00419. This watch is modern and practical in a way that a fashion house watch should be. It’s got a well-made steel case and matching bracelet with handsome surface polishing to it. The overall aesthetic of the watch is meant to be classic, following in the spirit of the Rolex GMT-Master, but with a distinct take on the theme and with plenty of Salvatore Ferragamo brand DNA (if you know their legacy or wristwatches, that is).
