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.

Oak & Oscar The Olmsted FEW Edition

Owners widely praise Oak & Oscar Olmsted for its design, quality, and customer service, with one owner highlighting a personal gift from the brand. The Oak & Oscar Olmsted Matte features a stealthy black ceramic coating on its 38mm case for scratch resistance, a clean sandwich dial with orange accents, and a modified ETA 2892A2 movement regulated in Chicago. It comes with both leather and nylon straps and was initially priced at $1,475, with production limited by the coating process. Overall, owners rate the Oak & Oscar Olmsted highly for its thoughtful design and durable ceramic finish.
