What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

Synthesized for each watch independently from owner discussions, enthusiast forums, written reviews, and video reviewers.

Oak & Oscar The Humboldt ExP-02

Oak & Oscar The Humboldt ExP-02 is a 39.5mm stainless steel tool watch featuring a unique, layered aluminum "ghost dial" for legibility and 200m water resistance, powered by a Sellita SW300 movement. Its appeal is limited by a US$2,550 price and an extremely limited production of 20 pieces, with its experimental dial construction done in Chicago. Overall, reviewers highlight the endearing dial and in-house bezel production as key features of the Oak & Oscar Humboldt ExP-02.

anOrdain Model 1

Owners and reviewers widely praise the anOrdain Model 2 for its exquisite, handmade Grand Feu enamel dial, custom typeface, and syringe hands, calling it a standout feature. The 36mm steel case is noted as a thoughtful, comfortable complement to the dial, and the smooth winding action of the Sellita SW-210-1 hand-wound movement is appreciated. Some find the 5atm water resistance limiting, and the anti-reflective coating can be prone to glare. The 18mm strap width is also mentioned as potentially limiting for strap enthusiasts. On balance, owners and reviewers rate the anOrdain Model 2 highly for its stunning enamel dial and elegant, versatile design.
