Trafford Watch Co Touring GMT

From video reviewers

The Trafford Watch Co Touring GMT's unique GMT function offers an alternative way to use the feature. The micro-adjust system on the bracelet is a convenient feature for fine-tuning the fit. The watch lacks specific details on its performance, accuracy, or movement caliber, making it difficult to compare it to other GMT watches.
