Trafford Watch Co Touring GMT

Owners widely praise the Trafford Watch Co Touring GMT for its great finishing, fun and original designs, and nice dials. One owner notes the GMT's flyer function and unique inner bezel, while another reports their Trafford's domed crystal cracked after a short drop. Owners describe the Trafford Watch Co Touring GMT as having a "cool funky original vibe" and a "chonky boi vibe on the wrist but in a good way," with one wearer reporting daily use for a year without the watch stopping. On balance, owners rate the Trafford Watch Co Touring GMT highly for its distinctive aesthetic and robust daily performance.

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.
