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.

Linde Werdelin Oktopus III Black

The Linde Werdelin Oktopus III is noted for its original, artistic design and high-quality case finishing. Reviewers describe it as a fun, attention-grabbing watch with a tough appearance, comfortable on the wrist despite its 44mm x 46mm size. It features a LW customized Dubois Dépraz caliber 14580 automatic movement and is water resistant to 300 meters. One reviewer flags that a big date complication's legibility is hampered by cut-out numerals. On balance, reviewers appreciate the Linde Werdelin Oktopus III for its striking aesthetic and robust build.
