Reference Points
The VENTURER
1st Generation
(Ref. 4211)
A novel twist on a classic aesthetic, the Venturer deploys an internal rotating bezel operated by a second crown to allow travelers to take in two time zones at a glance.
2nd Generation
(Ref. 4212)
Powered by the fresh-to-market Miyota 9075 movement, the Venturer breaks new ground for TRASKA and our corner of the watch world. Our first watch to feature a true traveler’s GMT complication, the updated Venturer displays two time zones better than ever. 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. Beyond the upgraded movement, we also made a series of subtle tweaks to enhance virtually every facet of the 2nd generation Venturer.
3rd Generation
(Ref. 4213)
The Venturer returned in October 2023 and once again introduced a first for TRASKA — our micro-adjustable tool-less buckle. Making it as easy to adjust the fit on the wrist as it is to take in two time zones, the new buckle is the only change we felt the need to introduce for the third generation. It’s the coup de grace that completes the Venturer’s journey… at least for now.
4th Generation
(Ref. 4214)
No great journey ever ends. Returning for the fourth time in 2024, the new-generation Venturer GMT features a series of refinements to both form and function that make this, perhaps, the most sophisticated watch that TRASKA has ever released (so far). The second crown at the 10 o'clock position that operates the internal rotating bezel is now screw-down making for rigorous dependability no matter how rough the journey. The end links have been subtly refined compared to previous iterations, while the new external bezel features sun-burst finishing and a polished chamfer that makes for a more textured and striking impression when viewed from any angle.
5th Generation
(Ref. 4215)
2025 marks the fifth—and perhaps final—evolution of the Venturer. After years of incremental refinements, only one final tweak remained — a subtle yet significant enhancement that discerning wearers will surely appreciate when the lights go out. The lume application has been upgraded from standard Swiss-Made Super-LumiNova BGW9 to the elite BGW9 Grade A. With sufficient activation by UV or sunlight, the superior lume delivers an 8% increase in performance after just 10 minutes. However, it’s with long use that the new lume really delivers. After 10 hours of darkness, the upgraded lume will continue to shine 52% brighter than before. Enjoy sustained, superior visibility whether you’re diving, camping, or simply enjoying a midnight snack.
