As I mentioned to Barry from mb-microtec USA at the Outdoor Retailer show, I had not worn a watch for nearly a decade, mostly because I had not found one durable enough, yet understated for third-world travel.

Jonathan Hanson, my partner in Overland Journal and our Executive Editor received a sample traser H3, which he suggested I try on my trip to the Darien Gap in Panama. The trip was 9,000 miles, crossing nine borders and traveling in some of the most remote and rugged jungle conditions in the world. We explored unexcavated Maya ruins and traveled to the Southernmost point in North America, Punta Mariato.

Throughout the trip I continued to wear the traser H3, and it is still on my wrist as I write this email. Thank you for making a high-quality, comfortable and easy to read (day/night) adventure timepiece.
