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 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.
Owners widely praise the Lorier Olympia SII for its excellent value and vintage aesthetic, highlighting the robust Seiko NE88 movement and crisp chronograph pushers. The 39mm case is noted for wearing well, with its layered design effectively managing the 13.8mm thickness. Some owners prefer the hesalite crystal for its aesthetic, while others would like a sapphire option. The bracelet is described as functional but can be a hair nipper. Overall, owners rate the Lorier Olympia SII highly for its execution of a vintage chronograph at an accessible price point.
