IN THE NEWS: The Atwood Gets the Spotlight on YouTube!
Recently, the team at Time+Tide put the Oak & Oscar Atwood under the microscope, and we're honored by what they had to say.
In their video review (link here), Time+Tide describes the Atwood as "one of the most convincing modern takes on an American sports chronograph we've seen in a long time." That's high praise from a publication that sees more than its fair share of chronographs.
What stood out most to the reviewers wasn't any single feature, but rather how all the details work together. The 39mm case, fully brushed finishing, drilled lugs, and vintage-inspired proportions create a watch that feels familiar without feeling derivative. As they put it, the Atwood manages to avoid becoming "another tribute act dressed up in faux nostalgia."
The review also highlighted one of our favorite aspects of the Atwood: the dial. The layered sandwich construction creates depth and legibility, while the signature orange accents add a touch of personality and energy. Time+Tide noted that these small details communicate something we care deeply about at Oak & Oscar: thoughtful design matters.
Of course, no discussion of the Atwood would be complete without mentioning the movement. Inside is the manually wound AMT5100M column-wheel flyback chronograph. Rather than taking the easier path with a standard automatic movement, we chose a movement that delivers a more engaging experience every time the chronograph is used. Time+Tide called out the tactile feel of the pushers, the flyback functionality, and the overall quality of the movement as highlights of the watch.
Perhaps our favorite observation came near the end of the review when they described the Atwood as a watch that "quietly gets the details right."
That's exactly what we set out to build.
If you're looking for a modern flyback chronograph that combines vintage-inspired proportions, thoughtful design, and everyday wearability, we encourage you to take a closer look at the Atwood for yourself.
