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 5 micro-adjustments on the locking clasp. The bracelet will fit wrists from 6.2 inches to 9.1 inches (158mm - 231mm).

This is my first “real” watch and I couldnt be happier! It’s a timeless clean design that goes well with everything and flies under the radar a little bit which is exactly what I was looking for.
Have now had the new watch on my arm for more than two weeks and am satisfied to say the least. In the search for a replacement for my previous 20 year old watch, my digital evaluation was rigorous and included both micro-brands and other major brands. In the end I landed in an Olmsted 38. It is solid, stylish and suitable for all occasions. Should already be a classic.
I wanted a high quality everyday watch that didn’t need a luxury brand name to make it stand out and the Olmstead has been perfect. I love the combination of classic design and subtle details. I’ve used it with both the silver bracelet and the nato strap. Buying this one was a big splurge for me, and I’m already thinking about getting another O&O. Also should note how great it has been to get to know Chase, who didn’t mind that I wanted to hear more about being a dad than I did about the watches.
Love it. 38-38.5mm is a sweet spot for me and I'm not disappointed. The blue dial is easy to read in dim light and the night lume is good. For me it is too nice to be a tool watch. Perfect for a nice dinner out, especially with a cuff.
Unfortunately my wife zeroed in on it also to use as an "accent" piece. I'll get it back when she realizes that she doesn't know how to keep it wound or how to reset it.
I got this watch because it was unique and different… but also excellent craftsmanship and design. Incredibly happy with the decision.
