Oak & Oscar The Olmsted FEW EditionvsBoldr Safari

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.

Owners widely praise the Boldr Safari for its attractive dials, robust build with 200 meters of water resistance, and reliable Seiko movements. The California dial design is a frequent highlight, as is the strong lume. Some owners note the GMT variant offers full GMT functionality, while others point out the movement's date-only nature on certain models leads to a vestigial crown position. The animal artwork on the display caseback is a point of contention, with some finding it detracts from the view of the movement. Overall, owners rate the Boldr Safari highly for its value and distinctive design elements.
