Tracer TRASER TYPE3 Pilot Black Watch P5900.516.K3.11 Japan Limited Edition Men's Watch

Introducing the Pilot Black, a Japan-exclusive model based on the TYPE 3, the most standard model and the first to be equipped with Trigalight and supplied to the US military.

This popular item, a representative model of rugged military watch, now features the trendy khaki color on the dial, hour and minute hands, and second hands.

Of course, the special lighting system is still there!

Special lighting system (TRASER™)

The special luminescent "TRASER" system, proven in the Gulf War and various dark missions, uses a small glass tube filled with tritium gas, making it self-illuminating without emitting radioactive materials, ensuring astonishing visibility nearly 100 times greater than conventional fluorescent paints.

It was so bright that soldiers wearing it in combat required a cover bracelet to protect the watch from being spotted and targeted by the enemy.

The battery-free, self-illuminating light system is guaranteed to provide 10 years of nighttime visibility, and the green light emitted by tritium gas is said to be the most gentle wavelength on the human eye.

*The dials of all models are printed with H3 (the chemical symbol for tritium gas), a radioactivity mark, and "T25," which certifies that the amount of tritium gas used is less than the 925MBQ limit set by Japanese law.

Tritium gas lights are self-luminous regardless of day or night, and Tracer watches, which serve as real military watches, are designed not to be too bright, as if they were too bright, the tritium would unintentionally stand out in the dark during operations, leading to mission failure on the battlefield.
In order to clearly show the features of our products, we use black light to photograph the products so that the tritium stands out. However, please note that the color may appear slightly more subdued than in the image due to differences in monitor settings.
