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.

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 Commuter’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 even under direct sunlight.

THE DIAL

The Commuter makes use of a lacquered dial to achieve its glossy finish. The brass dial blanks are first sprayed using an enamel paint before going into a specialized high-temperature oven, after which they are hand polished until a lustrous sheen has been realized. The faceted hour indexes are meticulously filled with Swiss Made BGW9 Super-LumiNova and then hand-applied with maximum precision. Models with a date window at the 6 hour position feature a distinctive polished frame which compliments the overall design of the dial.

THE HANDS

The multi-faceted diamond-cut hands slope up on either side and then taper off to a flat plane with brushed finishing (all done by hand!), creating a subtle visual effect that is pleasing even when not consciously registered. Filled with Swiss Made BGW9 Super-LumiNova, the strong luminescence makes for easy reading even in dim light.

THE CASE

Understated yet robust, the Commuter sports a scratch-resistant case hewn from surgical-grade 316L hardened stainless steel. Serving as a testament to our commitment to the smallest of details, you’ll enjoy observing the way light dances around the polished chamfers that highlight the transitions in finishes. The case’s design is further elevated by the ever so slightly convex nature of the mirror polished mid-case, with sides that bulge out just enough for the discerning wearer to appreciate how every detail has been meticulously considered.

THE BEZEL

The fixed bezel features two complimentary brushing techniques. Sunburst brushing on the top gently teases the eye, while the mirror polished sides offer a distinctive finish that matches the overall refined aesthetic.

THE CROWN

The crown screws down snugly and smoothly into the side of the Commuter’s 100M water resistant case thanks to a decoupling mechanism that prevents it from winding the movement while being screwed down. A high-polished chamfer separates the coin-edged portion from the embossed TRASKA logo on the outermost surface.

THE MOVEMENT

Automatically wound by the motion of the wearer, the Japanese Made Miyota 9 series caliber oscillates at 28,800 beats per hour and will keep on ticking for decades. The no-date variants make use of the Miyota 9039 movement, while those with a date complication at the 6 hour position utilize the 9019. A 24 jeweled, hand-windable movement with hacking and a date complication, the Miyota 9 series was introduced by the Japanese firm as an alternative to the Swiss Made ETA-2824 movement. One could argue that the 9 series calibers are actually technologically superior to their Swiss counterparts thanks to their 42 hour power reserve and slimmer profile.

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

Forged from 316L stainless steel and tapering from 20mm to 16mm, the bracelet’s solid and fully articulating links echo designs from the Swiss bracelet purveyor Gay Frères. 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, the buckle exhibits polished chamfers on either side. The inside of the clasp is painstakingly hand polished with a perlage finish — because even the smallest of details matter. The buckle’s five micro-adjustments and the removable link’s large 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 5 different positions spaced 1.5mm apart, you can make your bracelet incrementally smaller or larger with the push of a button. No screwdrivers. No screws. No frustration. Oh, and it includes two additional half-links to ensure a comfortable fit for every wrist!

TRAVEL CASE

Our genuine leather travel case stays true to the utilitarian nature of the TRASKA 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 timepiece. This isn’t packaging that will gather dust in the closet — it’s an elegant yet practical accessory you’ll want to travel with wherever you go.
