Crossroads Season Two
The first edition of Crossroads watches were a roaring success. We are now building on this lineup to bring new colors into the mix. Each color represents something about Texas that we love.
Limestone
Central Texas is built on limestone. It’s all over the place, forming crazy looking waterfalls and aquifers and it’s a major part of our architecture materials used. Pairing it with the blue seconds hand and strap was a natural choice, as it is always tied to the natural springs here.
“Dawn: trees wreathed in mist of near-freeze rising from the river are beginning to blossom into muted gold as the sun lifts itself from slumber, spraying the dew-heavy grass to a carpet of soft diamonds. Longhorns nod their bow-limbed heads and move to water hidden in its own small blossom of fog.
There will never be such a morning. But then the sun, trees, cattle, now laced with shadow deer will settle in a blaze of last light which will set the stage for a new adaptation of a play that has run long before the Blanco River blossomed out of limestone gardens.”
– Autumn, Four Seasons
The watches are currently in production and we are aiming to ship them in the late spring of 2024.
Specifications
-
The Crossroads case is made with 316L stainless steel that has been treated with a hardening coating to keep it free from scratches for years to come. This also helps tremendously with fingerprints on the polished surfaces.
The front crystal is a curved sapphire crystal with anti-reflective coating. The exhibition caseback also uses sapphire crystal.
Both the hands and the hour markers on the dial (the numerals and the dashes) use Swiss Super LumiNova lume.
The straps are made with Italian leather.
-
The Crossroads watch uses the Miyota 9039 automatic movement, featuring a custom red rotor. The movement has a 48 hour power reserve and is regulated in house to within +/- 10 seconds per day.
-
The numerical size of square watches is always a little hard to define because they naturally wear a little differently than round watches. The Crossroads case is 36x38mm, with a lug to lug length of 46mm. This is fairly comparable to wearing a 40mm round watch. The height is 11mm at its tallest point.
The Crossroads has a water resistance of 5 ATM. -
Every Trafford watch includes a 2-year limited warranty. This will cover any manufacturing defects like issues with the movement, or the hands fall off, etc. It doesn’t cover cosmetic wear or internal damage caused by droppage or other accidents. We’re pretty relaxed about this stuff though, so don’t hesitate to reach out.
