The Daytripper Core

Your Everyday Watch, Evolved

The Daytripper is your all-purpose companion. Whether you're stepping into a record shop, hiking through hill country, or grabbing dinner downtown, it stays on your wrist. Each Season Two dial captures a different moment of the day, drawing on the colors and moods that shift with the light. Wherever you're headed, the Daytripper fits right in.

One Click, New Time Zone

The Daytripper runs on the celebrated Miyota 9075, simplified to spotlight its quick-set hour feature. You can jump the hour hand forward or back without affecting the minutes. Perfect for travel, time changes, or daylight saving. Regulated in-house to +/- 10 seconds per day and fitted with a custom rotor, it's a rare level of functionality at this price point.

Designed to Travel Well

Everything about the Daytripper is purposefully versatile. From the mid-size case to the sculpted lugs and relaxed dial layout, it feels at home anywhere. The colors are bold but wearable. The typography is strong but approachable. It's a design that works just as well on the road as it does at home.

Lights Up the Night

Season Two brings a major lume upgrade. The entire chapter ring is now fully lumed, creating a bright, glowing halo around the dial that transforms the watch after dark. Combined with lumed hands, numerals, and hour markers using BGW9 Super-LumiNova, the Daytripper doesn't just stay readable at night. It comes alive.

Specifications

Designed for versatility and everyday adventure, here are the key specs that define the Daytripper.

Materials

Our Daytripper is crafted from high-quality 316L stainless steel with a durable hardening coating, ensuring lasting strength and resilience.
