 I received this new Traser yesterday. It has a Swiss ETA 2824-2 movement with a sapphire crystal and blue tubes all around except for the 12:00. That one is orange. The way they have arranged the lume around the dial makes the watch more readable and seem larger at night. The blue traser lights aren't quite as bright as my green Traser watches, but plenty readable none the less.

The watch is nicely made with an excellent PVD coating on the case. The bracelet is nicely done and all PVD inside and out. The basic ETA movement is viewable via an exhibition back (sapphire also, I think). There is nothing fancy about the watch, it is just a good watch (IMHO) for everyday wear.

I bought this one based on my really liking the silver stainless steel version I got a little bit ago. I do prefer the SS version so far to the PVD. I tried on the bracelet (without sizing it), then tried two different straps with the watch. Both carbon fiber. One with white stitching and one without. Any opinions on which looks the best?
