The short answer

The closest alternative to the Trafford Watch Co Daytripper is the Christopher Ward C65 Dune Aeolian ($1,415) — looks nearly identical and Automatic. If price is the constraint, the Seiko 5 Sports Field series at $315 (vs $799 for the Daytripper) covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the Trafford Watch Co Touring GMT is the standout microbrand take — shared caliber (Miyota 9075) and GMT/traveler. Stepping up, the Omega Seamaster Railmaster Co Axial Master Chronometer Small Seconds 38mm ($6,400) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
