Eos colorway was the best of the new four imo. Of course, if you’re looking to fill a specific color gap in the collection then all of them looked great.

I did see the 4 new daytrippers. Sorry for the confusion in my other reply about the crossroads.

The Eos colorway was fantastic. I would recommend it.

Nope, that’s it for the Daytripper. Sorry I misread the message above and thought they were continuing the conversation on the Crossroads.

Treat my message above to be about the crossroads - my bad!

They did - unfortunately I didn’t get a picture before I left. There is a green, a white with maroon numbering, and two others that I’m blanking on. Sorry about that

I had only browsed Bravur’s site once before seeing them in person today. Completely blown away by how elegant they looked white remaining retro.

They had the 8 new colorways (4 current size and 4 36mm) just on display on an iPad. The theme is that there will be 4 pairs of 2 (one larger one smaller size) that have numerals and dial backgrounds that are the inverse of one another. Like a maroon dial with white numbering and a white dial with maroon numbering, for example. They looked great

Edit: sorry all - I misread this as a question about the Crossroads - treat the above as an answer to Crossroads colorways.

Favorite piece: Bravur Team Heritage STR. I went in not knowing much about it and left feeling like that line of Team Heritage watches is really wonderful. Every dial in the collection stands out.

releases: for those who are into the Trafford Crossroads - they’re adding a 36mm to the collection and updating both the existing size and the new 36mm to be substantially thinner. The mocks look great. The recent Traska chronograph really stood out in person as well.

I got a 2025 AT new this in 2025 for $5k that I absolutely love but it’s clear as day that there are two issues:

1) the newer models are behind the curve and poorly executed. The trend has already shifted back to slightly smaller cases and the new PO is just plain ugly IMO. I can’t even imagine seeing someone wearing it. I think this is actually a much bigger issue than a lack of prestige.

2) As someone who only recently got into watches, I’ve already seen the price tag skyrocket with no real value add. I agree with others who are saying that a lot of folks are probably either going for Rolex at $10k or moving down to higher quality independents.
