The Trafford Touring GMT is a 39mm travel-ready timepiece blending modern Americana design with enduring craftsmanship.

Its unique AM/PM dual time display, split into day and night halves, offers an intuitive way to track home time, while bold typography and vibrant colors draw inspiration from America’s industrial heritage and lively cities.

Crafted from hardened 316L stainless steel with sapphire crystals front and back, it’s powered by the Miyota 9075 “True GMT” movement for independent local time setting, a smooth 28,800 vph sweep, and a 42-hour power reserve. Water resistant to 10 ATM, it comes with supple Italian leather and fully submersible perlon straps, plus an optional tapered stainless steel bracelet with quick-release end links.

Founded by Nathan Trafford, a designer from northern England now based in Austin, Trafford Watch Co. creates lasting, tangible pieces that bring joy and connect people through the art of watchmaking.
