The Olmsted 38

I love the design of this watch! It exudes a modern and a vintage vibe at the same time. At 38mm it is very wearable, and the lug shape and the not overly thick case, work together to provide a comfortable fit. The finish of the 316 stainless steel case is exquisite. The design of the cutout stenciled numbers is beautiful. The face is extremely matte, and because of this, it reflects no light, which gives the watch a depth, and some mystery, because you can't see what it is made of, it is so matte. I find that aspect very interesting. The date window integrates well with the face design, as to the logos. The second hand is the standout, both in color orange and with the interesting shapes at each end of the hand. It is fun to watch them move around the dial. The screw down crown works seamlessly, and the winder has a high quality feel. The strap is also very high quality. The only thing I would consider doing differently, is to have a more standard taper on the band, from 20mm to 16mm rather than to 18mm. I find the buckle just a bit chunky for the size of the watch and my wrist. Otherwise, the Olmsted is pure perfection, and exists comfortably among my modern and vintage Rolexes and other vintage pieces. I can't seem to take it off.

Order processing and shipment was very quick. I am so impressed with this watch. The number cut outs of the top black dial against the luminescent inner dial make this watch so easy to read in bright daylight or just about any low light situation, even when the luminescent isn't charged. And when it is charged, the blue glow is pleasing to stare at, very claiming. I really like the font and size of the numbers, very easy on my eyes. The 38mm size complements my smaller wrist very well. I did swap out the thicker watch strap with a slightly shorter much thinner dark brown suede leather strap to better fit my small wrist. I also added a chrome plated deployment clasp. Altogether, this is one classy wrist watch. A classy watch for all occasions.

....then once you understand you end up with all 3 Olmsted colors like me. LOL

I recently purchased the blue dial variant to complete the trio and as a birthday present from me, to me. I love everything about the Olmsted - The stylistic orange seconds hand, the sandwich dial, the simplicity, the fit, the finish, the wearability, the accuracy, the personal touches, packaging, etc... Frick'n Frick this watch is awesome.

You know the type of watch you admire for several seconds, then look up and you still have no clue what time it really is! Yeah it's that beautiful to my eyes.

O&O is a great brand backed up with stand up blokes. When you look at the whole package, I truly believe you get what you pay for. These watch are foreverwaches in my collection.

Thanks Chase and friends.
