Traser has built its reputation on creating timepieces engineered for performance in the most challenging conditions, setting the benchmark for self-illuminating watch technology with their reliable trigalight illumination. Often favoured by professionals and adventurers who operate where conventional visibility is compromised, their watches are tools first and foremost.
The Traser P99 Iris Limited Edition Watch represents a significant evolution, merging stealth and visibility like never before with a patented iris diaphragm system that allows the watch to adapt instantly to your mission. This is a timepiece for operators who refuse to choose between concealment and precision.
The core concept behind the P99 Iris is compelling: “Command the Shadows, Own the Light.” Traser positions darkness not as your enemy, but your ally, providing the means to control how your time is seen. The innovative iris diaphragm allows you to close it, enabling you to vanish into the night for maximum concealment, or open it to let the ultra-bright Super Powered trigalights pierce the void for instant, clear readability. This functionality isn’t just a feature; it’s presented as a “declaration of tactical mastery.”
At the heart of this patented innovation is a mechanism featuring 16 blades that glide smoothly beneath the bezel, controlled by a simple quarter-turn of the bezel itself. This mechanism is engineered for zero compromise; it’s lubrication-free and shielded by the anti-reflective sapphire crystal, ensuring it can withstand punishing environments including sand, water, and shocks. Paired with Traser’s Super Powered trigalights – made even brighter due to advanced phosphor coatings – the P99 Iris guarantees top-tier visibility in the darkest conditions, promising readability for over 20 years without needing any external light source for charging.
The watch is built for robust performance. It features a 46mm diameter case crafted from PVD-coated stainless steel, providing a durable and stealthy black finish suitable for tactical use. The black dial is clear and functional, protected by an anti-reflective sapphire crystal for enhanced durability and clarity.
A screw-down crown contributes to the watch’s 10 atm / 10 bar water resistance, making it suitable for swimming and shallow diving. The engraved caseback adds a touch of detail to this limited edition piece. It comes on a 22mm band and includes a choice of tactical straps, including the standard rubber strap specified, ensuring it’s ready for action straight out of the box. Powering the watch is a reliable Swiss-made quartz movement, chosen for its accuracy and resilience in demanding situations.
The Traser P99 Iris is a Limited Edition, with only 300 pieces available worldwide. This low production number makes it a highly collectable item for enthusiasts who appreciate its unique technical innovation and tactical purpose.
Available at a price of CHF 855, this Swiss-made tactical watch represents a truly unique blend of innovative stealth features, ultra-bright and reliable illumination, robust build quality, and limited availability. For professionals, adventurers, or collectors who demand precision and the ability to control their visibility, the P99 Iris Limited Edition is a compelling and highly capable timepiece.
