Traser: Swiss Quality Since 1969
I have a confession to make. I’m a bit of a watch nerd. Can’t get enough of ’em. Don’t tell my wife, but my current collection is hovering somewhere in the 30-something range. When you are in the military, an accurate timepiece is an absolute necessity. It’s a piece of kit—a tool. Heck, you can […]

Back in the Day Way back in the early 90’s a guy I was serving with showed me his new watch and it was unlike anything I had ever seen before. It said “Navy SEALs” on the face, but I jokingly told my buddy I’d have a look at it anyway. The cool part was […]
5.11 Tactical Field Watch
I’m one of those guys that love watches. To me, it is not only a necessity, but it finishes off the “look” of whatever it is that you are wearing. As much as I’d love to have a nice smartwatch, I haven’t been able to pull the trigger on one yet. Why? Truthfully, I not […]
