Venturer GMT Carbon Black

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.

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.

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 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.

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.

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.
