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.

The engine powering The Olmsted 38 is either Sellita SW300 or the ETA 2892A2, both legendary, Swiss-made, solid workhorse movements customized with our iconic 4-star rotor design – a subtle nod to our hometown of Chicago.

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.

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 Perfect Everyday Watch

    Before I even got to the watch, the unboxing was a really nice experience. The level of care and detail to make everything perfect started there. Once I had the watch in hand, this high level of care continued. The fit and finishing were top notch. Even the included tool was of a high quality - which was great, because I used it right away to resize the bracelet. I have been enjoying the watch - and REALLY enjoying the new quick-adjust on the bracelet. I am very happy with my purchase and look forward to trying out the included NATO and leather band soon!

    Love my new Olmstead!

    The size is perfect for me. And theee is the magic number - it’s my third O&O and I couldn’t be happier! The manufacture and fit-and-finish are top notch and, of course, it runs beautifully. Thanks O&O!

    -Dan

    Great watch

    The Olmsted is my second micro-brand watch and I love it. The bracelet is extremely comfortable especially with the quick adjust clasp. I wear it even more than I was expecting to

    Exceptional!

    I have been wearing this time piece for about 4-5 days now and it is nothing short of Exceptional. From the build quality, accurate time keeping, presentation packaging and customer service. Well worth the price of admission. I may have to get another one in a different color dial, it is that great! Thank you Oak & Oscar. Can not wait to see what's next.
