Shipping & Returns

Shipping

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!

Returns

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.

Warranty

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.

HARDENED STEEL

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.

SAPPHIRE CRYSTAL

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 in direct sunlight while also enhancing clarity to such a degree that the crystal itself all but disappears. A 100% transparent anti-fingerprint coating has been applied to the exterior of the crystal to help reduce the need to wipe off the smudges that, otherwise, all too often find themselves on there during the course of daily life.

THE DIAL

The Venturer makes use of a lacquered dial to achieve its glossy finish. The brass dial blanks are made spotless through a sonic cleaning process and then carefully coated in an enamel paint and placed into a specialized oven. As the temperature gradually rises over several hours, the paint sets. The dials are then hand-polished to perfection, resulting in a lustrous finish that catches the eye from afar. The multi-faceted hour indexes are meticulously filled with Swiss Made Grade A BGW9 Super-LumiNova, which ‘pours’ out of the innermost edge with a waterfall design, and then hand-applied with maximum precision. Placed strategically at the 6-hour position, the color-matched date wheel is revealed by a diamond-cut circular aperture with polished chamfered sides.

INTERNAL ROTATING BEZEL

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 HANDS

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 Grade A Swiss Made BGW9 Super-LumiNova, the strong luminescence makes for easy reading even in dim light.

THE CASE

Cut from 316L stainless steel and featuring the proprietary hardening treatment for which TRASKA has become known, the all-new Venturer GMT Ref. 4217 challenges our signature minimalism while upholding the utilitarian spirit of its predecessor. Instead of a chamfer, the upper portion of the midcase features polished concave cutouts; a subtle flourish to be sure, but one that shines upon repeated inspection. Echoed on the lower portion of the bezel, the cutouts form a perfect semicircle, which, like the best architecture, delights and satisfies even when not consciously noticed. Designed to be worn without fear, the Venturer is water resistant to 150 meters.

THE BEZEL

The exterior bezel that surrounds the sapphire crystal is adorned with a satinated brushed finish that bursts out from the topmost center. The eye tracks this feature and follows it to a concave bevel in the shape of a quarter circle. Here, the viewer encounters the midcase, where the same design is mirrored back. The overall effect is a perfect semi-circular cutout on the case sides, mitigating the case’s thickness and delighting the eye with each fascinated glance.

10 O'CLOCK CROWN

The screw-down crown at the 10-hour position operates the internal rotating bezel used to display an additional time zone of your choosing. While the overall aesthetic is similar to the time-setting crown, an embossed globe motif replaces the logo on the outermost surface in a nod to its intended function.

3 O'CLOCK CROWN

The screw-down crown used for setting the time and date at the 3-hour position exhibits a high-polished chamfer separating the coin-edged portion from the embossed TRASKA logo on the outermost surface.

THE MOVEMENT

Powered by the fresh-to-market Miyota 9075 movement, the Venturer features a true traveler’s GMT complication. An additional hour hand sweeps smoothly around the dial over the course of 24 hours, keeping track of the time at home while the independently adjustable local hour hand can be easily set to the timezone of your newest destination. Automatically wound by the motion of the wearer, the Japanese-made caliber oscillates at 28,800 beats per hour and features a 42-hour power reserve. A 24 jeweled, hand-windable movement with hacking, date and GMT complications, the 9075 will continue to tick for generations with proper care and periodic servicing.

All of our movements are regulated in four positions for enhanced timekeeping tolerances. This process involves manually adjusting the length of the mechanical movement’s hairspring, fine-tuning it to keep even better time than what their manufacturer advertises. After regulation in four positions, the 9 series will typically run between -10 to +20 seconds a day.

THE BRACELET

The bracelet’s solid and fully articulating links are forged from 316L stainless steel and taper from 21mm to 16mm. Made with a rigorous lifestyle in mind, the robust bracelet has undergone the same proprietary hardening process as the case. Precisely machined from stainless steel, both the buckle and individual links exhibit polished chamfers on their sides. The inside of the clasp is painstakingly hand polished with a perlage finish, because even the smallest of details matter. Quick-release spring bars make it easy to remove the bracelet for strap changes, while the buckle’s six micro-adjustments and the removable links' flat head screws allow the bracelet to be sized to your exact liking with ease.

QUICK-ADJUST CLASP

Effortlessly adjust the size of your bracelet and get the perfect fit at all times thanks to our tool-less micro-adjustable buckle. With six different positions spaced 1.35mm apart, you can make your bracelet incrementally smaller or larger with the push of a button. No screwdrivers. No screws. No frustration.

TRAVEL CASE

The newest version of the TRASKA travel case is constructed from genuine leather and stays true to the utilitarian nature of the brand. We value form, but not at the expense of function. Even when traveling light is a necessity, this leather pouch is small enough to go with you and ensure the safety of your watch.

Reviews

Very happy with my Traska

"A great purchase! It was delivered within the expected timeframe, and the presentation and packaging were really nice. The watch feels very well made, and I especially love the internal rotating bezel and the details of the logo on the dial. I’ve been wearing it as my everyday watch, and it looks fantastic on the wrist. I’m genuinely very happy with my purchase and would definitely recommend it."

A Perfect GADA, Beautiful Finishing

"I’ve had this swatch for about two weeks now. I’ve always wanted a Traska but missed my chance previously. I was so excited that I was able to get an order in and receive this watch. At 38. 5 MM it wears perfect on the wrist. The lacquer enamel dial and matching inner rotating bezel are a deep, rich, black. The finishing is beautiful and both the case and the bracelet highlight this. Lots of room with micro adjustment and that’s needed here in Nashville. No scratches yet, time will tell but all the feedback has been solid. This timepiece punches well above its price point and it’s a stunner! Came with a nice single travel roll,"

— Matt H. (5/5)

Worthy of the hype!

"The challenge in buying a watch online is not being able to see it in the metal. The reviews online were almost unanimous in their praise but I was concerned that the watch was too small for my 8 inch wrist - but it wears wonderfully. The green bottle color is dark but pops in direct light and the jump hour makes setting the traveler hand easy. I normally rotate between my watches every few days but I find I just don’t want to stop wearing this watch. Now I just need to save up for that Chronograph… 🤞"

— John K. (5/5)

"Absolutely love this watch! The finishing punches way above its price point. When sizing the bracelet, even the local watchmaker stopped twice to ask about it, impressed by the build quality. The dial catches light far better in real life than in photos, and the bracelet is easily the most comfortable steel I’ve worn, regardless of the 21/20mm debate. The slimmer crowns, circular date window, and new inner rotating bezel design in this version are honestly all worth it. It's barely left my wrist for 2 months."

Venturer GMT Carbon Black Watch Review

"Very happy/pleased with the watch ; elegant & sharp dial witth sold japanese movement. Love the clasp, comfort, size and fit of the watch, Very versatile dial for daily wear use. Lumina on the dial is average but not great in in terms of practical use & how long it functions in the darker time in the evenings. Only area of improvement I see for this watch is to have a shinier middle bracelet band to make the band as elegant as well as versatile as the dial while keeping the scratch free feature in place. This would make the overall watch standout even more."

— Hooman (4/5)

Very Impressive

"The attention to detail on this watch is incredible. The bottle green colour changes with the light and perfectly contrasts with the arms and the silver markings. The band is very comfortable and the finishings are smooth and clean. This watch punches high above its weight."

— Andre (5/5)

Great Watch! My current GADA

"I am truly enjoying my Traska Venturer GMT Bottle Green. I haven't worn a different watch since receiving it over a week ago. I love the scratch resistance. I've taken this thing everywhere and exposed it to what would have scratched any other watch I own and there isn't a mark on it! The fit and finish are excellent. It is incredible value for the money! There isn't much to complain about. The only critiques/feature requests I have are: • I would have preferred a 20MM lug width. • Lume is decent, but not great. • I'd prefer on-the-fly micro adjust versus needing to take off the watch to loosen the bracelet. • The green is much darker than what is represented on the product detail page. It is almost black unless under intense light. • The date window is a bit small and difficult for me to read. • When placed on my timegrapher it runs +21 seconds in the horizontal (face up) position. I have not yet traveled with this watch, so I am unsure how it will handle airport scanners etc. (i. e. resist magnetism)."

Never leaves the wrist

"My GADA. Feels amazing on the wrist. Preserves the clean feel of the Commuter with a little added tool watch vibe. Amazing construction and the steel hardening and scratch resistance are a must for my lifestyle. The standout feature is the bottle green dial. In most lighting it feels like a deep black but explodes in the richest green in the sun. The new color matched date and applied logo are nice touches as well."

— Seth L. (5/5)

"A very satisfying feel when you put it on your wrist. I also like the dial I just wish it had a little bit more shine to it, but certainly a top notch watch all the way around and absolutely love the hardness coating!"

— Kevin (5/5)

Love this watch

"This is my first watch from Traska, and I’m really impressed. Of course all the advertised features are well implemented, but I’m particularly impressed by the quality and look of the bracelet, including the really effective microadjust and screw links, as well as the exceptional lume. It’s just a really premium watch by itself, without needing to mention the great price and a value for money. Also, I was originally not sure about the date window, but I’m a full convert now, with that bevel edge and color match it just works really well with the overall dial. The fit is great as well: for anyone wanting to use my wrist as reference, it typically measures 7. 25”."
