| Q: My traser® H3 watch needs a new battery. Can I take it to any watchmaker for this service?A: We suggest having the battery replaced only by an authorized H3 repair center. This is to make sure that your watch is still waterproof after the battery change. Please find an authorized H3 repair center on the right side of this page. |
Q: Which movement do you use for the traser®H3 Classic Automatic Pro and Pro Blue (Standard, Elaboré, Top or Chronomètre)?A: We use the movement 2824-2 EL (Elaboré). |
| Q: Does an automatic (mechanical) movement measure time with the same accuracy as a quartz movement?A: A watch with a quartz movement is ten times more accurate than a watch with an automatic movement. |
Q: What is the normal time loss or gain for an automatic watch?A: Depending on the type of watch, the average range for time loss or gain is +/- seven to twelve seconds per day. |
| Q: Is it possible to replace the trigalight tubes in my watch when they start to dim after 10 years or longer?A: Yes, the trigalight tubes can be replaced when they begin to dim. If this should happen on a particularly older watch, be sure to first check with an authorized repair center. |
Q: The illumination of the traser® H3 P 6508 Code Blue seems to be slightly dimmer than the green illumination. Is this correct?A: Yes, that is correct. The blue illumination is somewhat dimmer than the green illumination because of the natural intensity of the color. |
| Q: How long is the lifespan of tritiumA: The lifespan is normally twenty years, but will start getting dimmer after approximately ten years. Our gaseous tritium light sources (trigalight) are guaranteed for ten years. |
Q: Except for the look, is there a difference between a silicon watchband and a rubber one?A: The silicon band is softer, the rubber band is sturdier. |

| Q: My Super Sport watch does not have a serial number. Is this watch counterfeit?A: Some Super Sport models have no serial numbers because they were released as a special sales promotion. This does not necessarily mean that you have purchased a counterfeit watch. Even without a serial number, your Super Sport watch has a two-year warranty, effective from the date of purchase. |
Q: My watch has a five-digit serial number, but a seven-digit number is required for registration. How do I find the correct serial number?A: Each traser® H3 watch has its individual serial number laser engraved on the back of the watch.
