Time For Tudor To Step Up: The $695 Flyer GMT- Traska Venturer GMT With The New Miyota 9075 Movement
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 24 июл 2024
- 2022 was a huge year for GMT watches with the release of the Tudor Black Bay Pro, the Seiko SSK GMT, and the 4R34 movement inside of the Seiko. But Citizen, through their movement division, Miyota, relatively quietly released a brand new gmt movement as well. The only difference is that the Miyota 9075 was an aggressively priced flyer gmt. This was huge news and this incredibly important movement found its way into a great looking watch. The Traska Venturer GMT.
So in this video I’m going to go over all the different aspects of this watch and what this watch is like on the wrist after owning it for over 2 months. And I will of course be looking into how this awesome new Miyota 9075 movement performed and felt when interacting with it. In short, this is an awesome watch and we have a very exciting future ahead of us as more watches in different prices points begin to use the Miyota 9075.

Impressive what this watch packs and still keeps a lovely discreet, basic and elegant looks. Definitely a do-it-all. I can see that going literally everywhere, from sea to a very formal occasion after a long travel. Great video and wrist shots.
Traska did a great job on this one, proportionately it's pretty spot on! I'm a fan of gloss black dials as well and showing the contrast next to the speedy was a great idea👍
Other than a few instances I wish all black dials were gloss black dials bc of the visual punch. I can't get enough of how dark the dial can get and seeing it next to all my matte black dials really makes things clear!
At first I loved the blue dial. Then the arctic white. But yeah, that black dial is gorgeous. Great review. Thanks for the video.
Having this one on my radar! The green and the blue are amazing.
Not even saw your latest video, but I have for a long time. So: big up!
Been traveling from GMT+2 to GMT-4 back and forth last week. Nothing replaces a flyer GMT, I enjoyed my GS SBGN003 a lot.
Fine vid! I have been looking at Traska but not for a GMT. That’s because by some miracle the stars aligned and I got the Zelos Mako lll GMT rocking the 9075! And the one I got was the blue meteorite dial….the most expensive at $629.00 USD. One word on that watch……..WOW! The only other micro brand using the Miyota 9075 is the Jack Mason out of Texas. It runs a hair under $1K. The Zelos and the Jack Mason both come with bracelets. My Zelos came with an Oyster with an amazing on the fly adjust and the Jack Mason comes with a Jubilee. Thanks for the info and super vid! .
Traska has always been on my radar, just never pulled the trigger but all their current releases are fire
I was in the exact same position but now I'm glad I discovered traska first hand! I'm already eyeing the upcoming seafarer
Traska is one of my favorite micros
Yeah but Manny people which own Traska reported big QC issues!!
That's why I appreciate the Citizen even more,as owner of 17 Citizen watches I can tell you that I've never had a Citizen with qc issues or
misaligned bezel unlike Seiko or even Tudor.I love my Chronomaster!
@@dado380 i haven't had any issues with my summiteer or freediver. They have been solid pieces thus far.
@@dado380 oh ok. Ill look info it.
@@dado380 I’ve had five Traska’s, all with zero QC issues. BTW, Chronomaster looks absolutely fantastic!👌
Well time will tell resilience and value wise 😊
Loving what Traska is doing. Can’t decide between the Freediver with the white dial/black bezel or the Seiko SPB313
I struggle with the value prop of a GMT as I’m not a crazy frequent traveler. But this piece puts all that concern to bed. This is a fantastic piece for the money. I fully intend to pick one of these up at some point in the future. Great review.
Glad to hear you enjoyed the video! I don't travel very much either but this is just a classically good looking watch with a bit of extra functionality lol! They're sold out at the moment not sure when they'll be back since they were recently released (but mines for sale tho just fyi😁)
@@thewatchidiot Did you sell it?
Great video as always TWI! Really enjoyed seeing you cover another Microbrand watch, especially such an incredible piece from Traska! It would be an honor to one day be featured as well on your channel and I hope we can connect at some point! Thank you again for the video and please do not hesitate to reach out any time!
All the best,
Ben
Mine is blue dial and with daily accuracy of +2/day it is amazing
Very nice. Agree flat sapphire would be nicer. A rotating bezel version with the GMT would be sweet.
Really like this. I hope they make a jumping hour hand watch non get one day.
That is a cracking little number ! not really a GMT person or much of a traveller for that matter but that baby would sit very nicely in the collection & be a great daily , i'm not surprised they're sold out , i personally can't see any faults with it & for the price it really is a no brainer if you're in the market for a "true" gmt.
Yeah they did a pretty fantastic job with this one, best of both worlds in terms of a time only look and feel but with an extra punch of interest with the extra hand and the functionality that comes with it!
I need this to come back in stock asap.
That bezel crown looks like it does not screw in so I’m curious how it keeps the bezel from unintentional movement.
Also, the more I look at it, the more I compare it to the CW C63 Sealander
Really digging this GMT from Traska. May make a good self bday gift 😊
By the way-off topic, but, what brand (/model?) are your glasses, man? I dig them! TIA
the water resistance could be better but i love in general , fantastic , especially the blue azul
Great review of a great looking watch! But I’m wondering why you’re comparing this to Tudor specifically? Isn’t that brand substantially more expensive and aimed at a different market?
I would have been interested in one of these if the crowns had been at 10 and 2.
Had the original Venturer and the quality was unmatched, it was the best bracelet I’ve ever worn. Although, the 38.5mm diameter is a bit deceiving in my opinion, it wears closers to a 40 due to the large dial and inner rotating bezel.
The original venturer was great I missed my chance with that one! The bracelet is pretty great no doubt about it which is why I'm already eyeing the upcoming seafarer😁
I’m pretty sure you can’t put a flat sapphire crystal on this without raising the height of the bezel dramatically to accommodate the stack of 4 hands. I think a taller bezel and/or mid-case would make this case appear a bit too chunky, IMO.
Overall, I think they nailed the idea of an everyday GADA GMT watch that isn’t inspired (inexplicably) by dive watches.
My main criticism: while the date is fine at 6, but I wish it was lumed so there’s not such a black hole at the bottom the dial when the lights are out. It’s a small thing. Otherwise, a great watch.
At this price point if you want a decent mechanical GMT this has to be worth a look. The Myota (or other GMT movements for that matter) would not put me off having a look at this watch. I do like the internal 24 hour bezel adjustment as well. That date at 6 is where it should be if you need a date complication in my humble opinion and the general design looks good. If I didn't have the BB Pro I'd certainly want to audition this watch but that BB Pro is awesome in its execution. As always many thanks for sharing TWI.
I would still seriously consider this watch because if you travel anywhere outside the US or even in many part of US, the BB Pro is not worth the attention.
I can’t travel with my b/b11670 for the last 7-8 years because of the unwanted attentions, and that sucker has been to parts of the world where I had to use it to barter out of a few uh…misunderstandings. Now they would have just shot me for what that tool watch goes on secondary market, lol. One note on Rolex though, it still runs +2-3 s/d after 22 y.
Anyway, it doesn’t hurt to hand over a $700 watch that can handle some contacts, unless they know how much it really costs.
@@KC-bv9kf A good point, when I'm travelling I tend to have a resin case G-Shock on the wrist in transport but may take another watch with me depending where I'm going.
Dang now I really want it…. 😅😅
Best GMT under $4k and it's under $1k, i assume you already sold it, if not, I'll take another. I'd like to collect all 4, I mean why not?
Also i love the argument that 2 second fast a day is just a great reason to interact with it more often. I'm stealing that
Great review but you failed to touch on the on the fly adjustment mechanism in the clasp. 🙂
This one is the first version that Traska released January 2023 that came with a normal clasp. The latest version that was recently released has the upgraded new quick adjust clasp! It's tempting me once again😄
where is this brand available?
I had a traska but sold it because I did not like the coating which made the steel dark. But this watch seems does not have this problem?
Yeah I suppose so! I didn't really notice any darker hue here like how Seikos diashield coating darkens watches. In fact, I would have preferred it if it was a bit darker bc I love titanium lol!
This watch really does it all for a gmt at $695.
You could add a zero to the end of that for a big named brand but get very little extra.
I think it’s impossible even for entry level Swiss brands like Longines and Tudor to match these micro brands pound for pound. Which means the prices we pay for a watch is not just for the watch, but also for its marketing and brand equity.
"... entry level Swiss brands like Tudor..." 🤣🤣🤣
@thewatchidiot do you still have the watch?
Hows the bezel crown action? Too loose/tight? Does it move when breathed on like half of the alpinists I've handled? This one aspect really is the make or break on this watch for me.
Hi, had mine around a week now, doesn't leave my wrist for anything, and the bezel hasn't moved at all. Hope that helps.
@@danjenks5292 It does, thank you. I need a GMT for work and it's down to this Traska and waiting for the Lorier Hyperion. The next batch is supposed to have the same miyota and I'm just hoping it's good but I also really like that this watch seems to wear like an OP.
Yeah, mine is for work, too. The straight indeces certainly have an OP look. I'm a smaller than average wrist, and it wears perfectly, much better than my SSK001. My movements about 4spd fast. I'd definitely recommend it. I think if this had on the fly adjust, I'd probably sell my whole watch box.. Still might, haha.
@@danjenks5292 If you don't mind my asking, what color do you have? I'm enamored with the white dial myself
@@Maxiius I went for black, I agree the whites lovely, but I'm more of a black fan :)
True*
And to think Bulova could have done an astronaut with this GMT caliber… 😢, but no we had a Selita GMT 2000+ USD watch….
Oh wow I never put two and two together but you're absolutely right! the astronaut is a bit too big and this could have solved the issue. I'd have also preferred it if they brushed it a bit more but that's just me
Did you sell this watch yet?
why they dont put this movement on citizen watches?
They use this movement in the Bulova Wilton (Bulova is owned by Citizen) but hopefully they’ll roll it out in more citizens!
I owned one of these in the new bottle green. Not a fan for the price. You can get a better watch for the same price. I liked the look and the tech in the bracelet but that’s where my likes ended. They could have done a better job for the price. For instance the rotating internal bezel could have had some more pronounced clicks. It felt like it was trying to be smooth but there was some very mild clicks around the hours.
Worst part about the particular watch I received in the instantly sold beer bottle green face was that most of the indices weren’t lined up at all. Part of me feels like I was sent this particular watch by the choice of Traska because of where I live and they hoped I wouldn’t return it….. I have trust issues I get it.
All in all very disappointed. I hope Traska does better in the future, but I’ll never waist my time buying their products again.
Ps. I was able to return this watch. The customer service was excellent. It hurt me to not like this watch.
seamaster wart is a no go
And again a sold out item.
Good thing he's selling his basically brand new one for the same price so I guess there's one more left!
