This limited edition watch has been in the works for a couple of years. In fact, we've wanted to do something like this since before the launch of our very first watch back in 2015. As a watch lover and a bourbon lover, this feels like the perfect collaboration. And we're absolutely honored to have partnered with our friends, FEW Spirits.
The Olmsted FEW edition features our classic 38mm field watch case, signature sandwich dial for added depth and legibility, screw down crown and 100m water resistance. Inspired by the FEW color palette, this Olmsted features our very first deep salmon dial. A beautiful matte finish that pairs wonderfully with the included Horween leather strap.
What really sets this collaboration watch apart is what's in the backside. Yup, this limited edition watch features an actual piece of a bourbon barrel in the caseback. And not just any bourbon barrel, it's from the same barrel used to age the Bottled in Bond, single barrel picked exclusively by the Oak & Oscar team.
The folks who purchase the Olmsted FEW edition (and who are 21 or older and legally able to receive a bottle…) will be gifted a bottle of bourbon aged in precisely the same oak wood that’s displayed in the caseback.
Each Olmsted FEW is hand-assembled, tested and regulated at our Chicago headquarters by our in-house watchmaker. The Olmsted FEW edition is available on our handmade, Horween leather strap that tapers from 20mm to 18mm. Want a stainless bracelet too? Shoot us an email and we can update your order!

Our watches are hand-assembled, tested, and regulated at our Chicago headquarters by our head in-house watchmaker and Director of Watchmaking, Nathan. We’re very proud to continue the tradition of watchmaking here in the US and are dedicated to the art, craft, and a little touch of mad science that is horology.
The engine powering the Olmsted FEW is the Sellita SW300; a legendary, Swiss-made, solid workhorse movement customized with our iconic 4-star rotor design, a subtle nod to our hometown of Chicago, hidden behind the wooden coin.
The Olmsted FEW comes on our handmade, Horween leather strap. We’re proud of our Horween leather straps and the craftsmanship that goes into them. From the hand-beveled edges with applied water-based dye to the hidden orange stitching on the floating keeper, our leather strap tapers from 20mm to 18mm at the buckle for a comfortable fit.

Was wondering if Chicago had a maker similar to what Shinolla has going in Detroit. Yes; they do, and NICE!!!
Why the dash thru the 7?
The dash thru the 7 is a convention used to not confuse a 1 and a 7.
How is this relevant on a watch dial?
Sorry, that element is perplexing.
Other than that, very asthetcailly pleasing.
Hi there Andrew! So glad you're enjoying your Olmsted FEW — it's a very special watch and one we loved making! As to the hashed 7, it's been a design detail since our very first watch, the Burnham, back in 2015. It's a personal touch as it is the way I write my sevens. We've found that most folks find this little detail, among the many others, to be part of the charm of our design! Hope you'll come to love it the way I do!
Fantastic watch. Quality, design, uniqueness are superb. Whole watch is beyond expectation.
I have a bunch of O&O watches, and this is one of my faves! Love the co-branding on the salmon dial and love the bourbon barrel disk in the see-through case back. I’m a big fan of collab pieces, and this is one of the best in my collection. Great job!
I was hesitant on this purchase due to the 38mm size but I am thrilled that I ultimately pulled the trigger. It wears very well and definitely dresses up, or down, for the occasion. I also purchased the steel bracelet, which gives it a very polished look. This watch has gotten me several compliments due to the rich dial color, that is really unique. All in all, it was a wonderful addition to my collection. Oh, and it was accompanied with a great bottle of bourbon! Win win!
