I didn't know what to expect from Trafford until I got a hold of this watch in person. I got the Daytripper Vesper watch and this watch is so beautiful. Fits my 6.25 inch wrists well and the lume is no joke. It is a lume daddy and the large field like numbers are great.
Great watch. Great bracelet! This is my first Trafford and I love everything about it! canβt wait for my second Trafford to arrive in the fall.
Great addition to my Daytripper Eventide giving me a second look to the dark red leather strap. Glad Nathan did a video though, without it, I would have struggled to put it on the watch.
Today At windup Chicago I bought the Izabella touring GMT, thanks Nathan for your attention, I like to support small brands with quality and design.
Loved it! Have been using it everyday since it arrived. Only downside is noisier than other automatic watches I have.
Really great watch, lume is impressive!
Every detail about the Daytripper is excellent. Trafford makes a beautiful, high quality and high value watch. I'm very pleased
Love the versatility and look of this bracelet.
High quality shirt! Exactly what I would expect from Trafford!
Blown away of the quality and comfort of this bracelet Highly recommend all who order a watch to get the bracelet as well
Pretty blown away by this watch. Quality is top notch and the Daphne is just a gorgeous design. The date is a little small as some have mentioned, but my eyes are not great anyway so every watch feels that way.
What I really loved was the attention to detail. The raised numbers. The red on the rotor. Even the watch straps have little touches of color to make it feel special. And the strap that comes with the deluxe edition is such a perfect color match that makes me incredibly happy I went with that version. All 3 options give the watch a different look.
I would also add that it came with a really nice instruction manual that was perfect for someone like myself who had never owned a GMT before. Explained setting it in simple terms and was able to get the ball rolling within a couple minutes. Extremely happy with everything.
Love my new Daytripper Eventide. Was worth the wait and glad I got both the strap and bracelet. Two great looks with one watch.
I absolutely love this watch. The face is exquisite and the strap is first rate. Accuracy is fine.

Very nice design and finish, but it's difficult to read the date and the time. Needs more color contrast on the hands and larger date window. Toolless micro adjustment of the steel bracelet could be improved, too.
I recently bought the Touring GMT - Daphne, and have worn it for about a month and this is what I honestly think of it.
The things I like:
This watch is very light weight and comfortable with the leather strap. I sometimes forget that I am wearing it.
I really like the colors on the dial which has a "cool, laid-back" feel to it and the leather strap enhances that. I also like the way Trafford designed the GMT chapter ring using noon and midnight instead of military time. Furthermore, I love the red second and GMT hands which are high contrast and very easy to see. Also, the sweep of the second hand is very smooth which I really like.
Things that I don't like:
The hour and minute hands are very hard to see in low light conditions. I wear watches to actually tell the time of day, so my daily wear watches have high visibility hands that significantly contrast with the watch dial. Therefore, the Daphne will not be a daily wear watch for me, but I might wear it to outdoor events during the day because I do like the way it looks.
Although I like the noon & midnight GMT chapter ring layout, I don't like how small the font is. I can barely make out the numbers even with reader glasses on. I had to get a magnifying glass to actually see the chapter ring in its full detail and glory.
Closing thoughts:
The Daphne seems to be well finished and it has an overall "cool" vibe to it, but for me, it will be an occasional wear watch because it is difficult to see the hands and GMT numbers.
My bluebird GMT was delayed but I was kept informed and when it arrived there was a personal handwritten note inside from Nathan Trafford apologising and thanking me for my patience. Great watches and excellent humans, thanks π
