As soon as you order a TRASKA, it becomes our mission to get your watch into your hands/onto your wrist as quickly as possible. We offer free expedited shipping to all of our customers, using reputable services we have worked with for years:
United States: FedEx 2 Day (2 business days)
All Other Countries: FedEx International Economy (4-6 business days)
*Important for our customers outside of the United States: You, the buyer, are responsible for any VAT, tariff, duty, taxes, handling fees, customs clearance charges, etc. required by your country for importing consumer goods. We do not collect this beforehand and cannot give you an estimate of the cost, as charges vary around the world. As an international consumer, please do your research to ensure there are no surprise charges when clearing your package through customs — we’d hate for that to spoil the moment of joy when your watch arrives on your doorstep!
We are very confident that you’re going to love your TRASKA watch. So confident, in fact, that we offer a two-week long inspection period for every purchase. If, after two weeks or less, you’re not head-over-wrist in love with your investment, you can return it (at your expense), provided your watch has never been removed from its original plastic wrapping and is still in the exact same condition it arrived in. To request a return, email info@traskawatch.com and we will send you a return form to complete and send to us alongside your watch.
Returns sent from outside the United States are subject to a $45 processing fee. This includes the creation of a pre-paid FedEx shipping label we will send you to ensure your watch sails smoothly back through U.S. customs.
All our customers are automatically assigned a transferable three-year limited international warranty beginning from the date of purchase. There’s no pesky card you have to carry around — your warranty info is associated with your order number and is saved in our system from the moment you check out.

"I have the Summiteer 38 Pine Green and it fits very well on my 6.5" wrist. The watch is quite slender and the dial is so easy to read the time. I really like the gold accents on the dial. The bracelet is easy to work and the case is smooth and good looking. The fact that it is water resistant and has the protection of the hardening on the case and bracelet is a positive. I am very happy with this watch and clearly recommend it to you."
"Not much to say other than I love the design, specifically the gold accents go very well with the pine green color. The bracelet is also very comfortable and the quick-adjust clasp is something I wish every bracelet had. Hope Traska keeps this color-way and starts using the gold accents on other models too!"
"Initially I was disappointed about the numerals being smaller than expected and the watch seeming much larger than expected. In fact I was sure that I had been sent the 38mm by mistake until I put calipers to it. However after a week of wearing it I am so happy. Everything about the individual design choices I find myself agreeing with completely. Right now the only thing I'm debating changing is maybe adding some sort of mention of the water resistance on the dial beneath "automatic" and perhaps an applied logo. But I might be wrong on this. Also the interaction with the crown, the silky snap of the clasp and the articulation of the bracelet are all endless sources of satisfaction. While the loud free spinning rotor keeps the watch humble and down to earth for sure. Thank you for creating this. -KB"
"I’ve worn my new watch daily for two weeks. At home, to work, during exercise, and while doing yard work. Not a single scratch on the case, bracelet, or crystal with ordinary everyday use. The durability claim is no joke. And the movement is quite accurate, a little better than stated. The dial, hands, crystal, and crown are simple yet still elegant and beautiful. The bracelet is solid and the adjustable clasp is secure. Can you buy fancier? Easily. But nowhere near this price point. This watch is a fantastic value, and everything it’s advertised to be. A great addition to anyone’s collection."
"This watch is nothing short of perfect. The oxblood red is the perfect color it’s subtle in most lighting but is gorgeous when you get it out in the sun. Bracelet and finishing is amazing and love the micro adjust clasp. This is my work watch for the office and never have to worry about banging this thing up with the scratch resistant coating."
"Such a great watch to wear and look at, love the honeycomb dial."
"50M, have owned many watches over the years and this one is unexpectedly tops. Have come to appreciate items to buy for life, with cool design, quality materials and attention to detail. This ticks all the boxes. I’d absolutely be interested in more/different colors, as well as more vintage-inspired dial options in the same 36mm case. Some quick ideas: textured white dial/roman numerals (no good vintage dress options in your $ bracket. I’ve looked from Baltany to Longines). Commuter is OP, looking more for a cooler Cartier. Vintage 50s American car/Guitar DuPont colors (I build guitars and seafoam green, fiesta red, sonic blue and even Aztec gold would look incredible on a summiteer). That’s it, you build great watches, keep it up"
"Love my watch. Haven’t taken it off since I got it. I have an almost 8 inch wrist. I was worried it would look to small, but I wanted something comfortable. This checks all the boxes. Gorgeous."
"I have other watches but have only been wearing this since I bought it. Extremely happy!"
"The Traska Summiteer 36 is an outstanding watch. The design and proportions are incredibly tight and balanced. I measure the case closer to 37mm and it has the (rather subjective) wrist presence of a 38mm with that large dial-to-bezel sizing. It looks absolutely perfect on my ~7 inch wrist. The slimness of the case, low overall weight and balance between the watch head and bracelet makes it super comfortable to wear all day. Adding to that comfort are the female end links giving it a great wrist-hugging drape. The on-the-fly adjustable clasp means I can keep it at just the right snugness so that it is comfortable without sliding around my wrist. A bracelet this comfortable makes it hard to go back to other, lesser bracelets on some of the other watches in my collection. The super clean design of the dial makes it incredibly easy to read at a glance while the recessed section in the center gives it just enough visual interest to make me linger just a few seconds longer than I actually need to. I don't tend to rough up my watches much, but the hardness coating is no joke. This thing looks pristine despite spending much of the last couple of weeks on my wrist (often while typing at work. ) I have watches that cost twice as much that had picked up scratches on their clasps within days. Not so with the Summiteer. This watch is everything you need a watch to be and more. Even on days when I don't wear it to work, I find myself putting it on when I get home. It is like like that comfy pair of shoes or that hoodie you always wear. It's in that perfect sweet spot of "just right. " It never screams for attention, it is just quietly competent in everything it does."
