The Original Tritium Tool Watch Upgraded: Traser P65 Tactical Mission Titanium Review

Before there was the modern tactical watch movement as we know it, MB-Microtech was perfecting self-illuminating tritium technology for military use. That heritage eventually laid the groundwork for the original P6500 Type 6 back in 1989. For 2026, Traser revisits its foundational design with the P65 Tactical Mission Titanium, blending a classic military footprint with modern, high-grade materials. In this video, Ripley Sellers breaks down why the P65 series holds such an essential place in Traser's history and why this titanium edition stands out. While staying true to the slim 11mm profile and compact 45.5mm lug-to-lug dimensions of the original spec, this upgraded reference introduces a sandblasted Grade 2 titanium case, screw-down crown, screw-in caseback, and 200 meters of water resistance. Ripley examines how it wears on the wrist, explores the Ronda 715 quartz engine inside, and evaluates the matching titanium bracelet option. Would you pick this premium, 200m titanium build, or do you prefer the classic carbon-reinforced resin version to stay closer to 1989 military specs? Let us know in the comments!
