Both watches share a 39 mm hardened 316L stainless steel case, sapphire crystals, 100 metre water resistance, and the Miyota 9075 automatic movement with a 42‑hour power reserve. The Daytripper emphasizes everyday simplicity with a vibrant blue‑teal gradient dial, oversized Arabic numerals, and a local hour adjustment hand, while the Touring GMT adds a clean white luminescent dial, a dedicated GMT hand, and a date window, catering to frequent travelers. Each model is offered with a Horween leather strap or a stainless‑steel bracelet featuring micro‑adjust clasps, and they are available now through Time+Tide Watch Discovery Studios in London and New York and the Time+Tide online shop.
