Name Disambiguation:
The original Traveller (1.3702/54591) was a an earlier model, that had the same main toolset as the Climber, before the multipurpose-hook was added, but without the keyring (and no electronic scale tools).
There is another model called the Traveller-Set, which, rather confusingly, is a variation of the Huntsman, which comes in a pouch and with other accessories.

All the electronic features are controlled and accessed via a single button (the Victorinox shield) with a short click of the button scrolling round the functions, and holding down the button, whilst on a function, activating the change/set capabilities for that function.

The digital display has a back-light which is activated by pressing the logo button for about two seconds, which allows the display to be checked in the dark. The back light stays lit for about three seconds. Note: This feature is not explained in the short instruction leaflet!

History
Victorinox had produced a few models with timer/clock capabilities such as the TimeKeeper, Voyager and TimeKeeper Alarm, there was also the Altimeter with meteorological functions. The timer and clock functions of the Voyager were combined with the altimeter and thermometer functions from the Altimeter models to create the new digital unit in the Traveller. Barometer and stopwatch functions were also added to the unit to give an impressive seven functions overall. The model was announced in April 2006.
The original Traveller model was a predecessor to the current Climber, but did not contain the keyring or more recent hook.
