The new P99 Iris Limited Edition with Patented Iris Diaphragm
Since the invention of the world’s first self-illuminating wristwatch in 1989, traser has stood for pioneering spirit and highly functional watch technology. Now, traser once again sets new standards – and introduces not just one but two groundbreaking innovations with the special edition P99 Iris, limited to 300 pieces. The combination of next-generation Super Powered trigalights and a flexibly closable iris diaphragm ensures optimal readability with absolute control. Both Swiss-made solutions are patented and the result of years of development
Full Control Over Light and Darkness
Permanent light sources allow an ideal time display even in prolonged darkness. While the “Always-on Technology” offers high reliability, it could not be flexibly turned on or off at the push of a button – until now. After extensive development, traser presents an entirely new application in the watch sector: a closable iris diaphragm that can completely darken the dial in an instant. This innovation is paired with another first in the P99 Iris Limited Edition: the introduction of even brighter and sharper Super Powered trigalights. traser thus combines two seemingly opposing elements into one highly performative package: unrestricted readability with complete concealment.
Two Worlds United: Light and Darkness
A quarter turn of the ergonomically grooved bezel counterclockwise is all it takes to close the 16-blade iris diaphragm. Opening it is just as intuitive – a clockwise turn retracts the blades beneath the case rim, providing and unobstructed view of the high-contrast dial. The mechanism is protected by an antireflective sapphire crystal and has been rigorously tested for durability. Since the blades require no lubrication, the P99 Iris Limited Edition is maintenance-free and guarantees consistently precise operation.
Consistently precise also describes the time readability: Like all traser watches, the P99 Iris features the in-house self-powered trigalight technology, which illuminates hands and dial markers continuously – without any external energy source. This special edition marks the first-ever use of the Super Powered trigalight elements. Thanks to special coating, the capillaries offer increased and sharper luminosity, making the P99 Iris’s indices stand out with unprecedented clarity.
Limited Availability – Unlimited Functionality
While access is restricted to 300 pieces, the uncompromising functionality of the P99 Iris has absolutely no restrictions: The iris diaphragm, dial and PVD-coated stainless-steel case are deliberately kept in matt black to avoid light reflections. The case with a water-resistance up to 10 bar, a screw-down crown and the solid screw-in back with the engraved limitation number provide effective protection for both the iris mechanism and the Swiss quartz movement inside.
A rubber or textile strap, either all black or with an urban camouflage pattern, fastens the limited edition securely and comfortably on the wrist.
Constant visibility or complete concealment – the choice is now in the hands of the wearer.
