The Olmsted 38 is a classic, automatic winding, 38mm field watch with a two-layer sandwich dial, 10 ATM (100m / 330ft), screw-down crown, and inner minute track with orange cardinal numeral accents.
The Olmsted 38 takes its namesake from conservationist and founder of landscape architecture, Frederick Law Olmsted – an avid believer in the need of natural public space in society. Olmsted is responsible for designing many of the public parks in the United States; notably, Central Park in New York City, and Jackson Park in Chicago. Throughout a fascinating life, Olmsted pushed for the protection of Yosemite Valley, created the parkway, the integrated park system, and founded the precursor to the Red Cross.
Our stainless steel bracelet sits comfortably on the wrist with a fully articulated link design that gradually tapers from the 20mm solid end links to the 16mm buckle.
The bracelet has 7 removable links and a six position quick-adjust, locking clasp. Yup, that means no tools required to adjust the fit on the fly! The bracelet will fit wrists from 6.2 inches to 9.1 inches (158mm - 231mm).

The watch has nice finishes and has been very accurate, so far. The case and presentation is good, upon receipt. I like the Chicago Build. Happy so far.
Incredible attention to detail. Perfectly executed dial, very accurate, to me one of the best looking watches out there, bracelet with micro adjust is one of the most comfortable i have ever worn.
I was looking for a white dial watch with a clean design and this one met all the specs. Great sizing, quality movement, durable. The dial is nicely minimalistic at a glance, but still offers interesting details the closer you look with the sandwich dial, orange accents, and angled chapter ring. Certain numbers on the date wheel are also orange and I haven't figured out why yet. It's making me think... If there is a weakness, I'd say it's the micro-adjust on the bracelet which comes loose pretty easily, but otherwise is a very nice bracelet. I love this company's design style. It is expensive, for me at least, but this design will last, and I do appreciate that this is not a mass-produced piece, but is made by a small shop of really nice people who seem to love what they do. Thanks!
I was of the impression that I would be able to see the time in the dark. Nothing glows in the dark.
My recently acquired Olmsted is a keeper! I love the casual elegance of this watch. The green dial with the sutil touch of orange and the silver stainless steel bracelet, gives it a sort of stage presence that, being an actor, I love!
I love my Olmsted and I love that the Oscar, in Oak & Oscar, is a homage to Chase’s dog: Oscar.
