The mb-microtech USA have not yet received stock of this watch but expect to soon, and I will post a note here as soon as I hear.

On 28th May 2009 it was ready. At the Bern/Belp airport a small group of select guests had been invited to the first presentation of the new AVIATOR watch from traser® H3 watches.
They all wanted to be there as the first product batch of the newly developed Aviator watches was flown in directly from the mb-microtec ag watch factory in Niederwangen/BE, Switzerland by a renowned Antares double-decker – of a Buecker Jungmeister.
In bright sunshine and with light cloud cover, a blue Antares – Jungmeister – and a yellow Bueckner Jungmann, controlled by the pilots Albert Zeller and Elsbeth Zeller glided into Bern and were marvelled at and welcomed by the invited guests with high expectations. The tension reached its climax however, when the Buecker Jungmeister, which is best known from the NZZ documentary film, flew off to collect – just in time – the watches that had been produced in the meantime.
With a nice flyover, a wing wave and then a roll in front of the hanger the racy acrobatic plane landed, and the pilot removed an official post bag with Aviator watches from the luggage compartment and handed them over to the excited Marketing and Sales Manager.
The Product Manager of the traser® H3 watches team told the story of the origin and development of this new AVIATOR watch from traser® H3 watches, in a suspense-filled film and slide presentation. The design idea was developed in conversations with pilots and based on historical research. The superb design idea of Carl Clemens Buecker, the constructer and builder of the Buecker airplanes, was to be combined with the innovative watch illumination technology trigalight®. This watch and instrument illumination technology from mb-microtec ag is finally being used once again by traser® H3 for the illumination of pilot's watches. White trigalight® lights illuminate the dial and the watch hands, yes even the second hand, which thereby meet the requirements of ingeniously easy readability at day, and especially at night.
After the presentation and the appraisal of the Aviator watches at the subsequent dinner, aviation fans and friends of Swiss watches were in agreement: ... complete reliability, easy to read, comfortable to wear, best appearance with trigalight® illumination and affordable; the traser® H3 Aviator is a dream to own, just as the Buecker is a dream to fly.
Thanks to the innovations of its traser® H3 watches team, mb-microtec ag has been able to give the watch market fresh impetus.

Dear Steve
With great pleasure we see the promotion for the Bucker- watch. It was a great pleasure for Elisabth and myself to participate in this event. Perhaps you and some Bucker- friends like the little e-motion movie-sample to find under http://www.traserh3watches.com/de/home/index.php.
Our Bucker 133 Jungmeister "ANTARES" is flying again and we would like to thank Mr.& Mrs Griener for their excellent work to rebuild an almost completely crashed "jewel " and make it flying again. It seems their is no dammage, they cannot make fly again.
Very best regards
Albert & Elisabeth
