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).

I ordered the watch yesterday. It arrived today. The Olmsted is an absolute stunner. I love all the little details. I am extremely happy with this piece. Thank you Chase. Thank you Oak And Oscar.
The OLMSTED is without a doubt my favorite timepiece I own, the sandwich dial and the colors are absolutely gorgeous, I keep looking the time constantly! Also, the bracelet is very comfortable and with great finish. The attention to detail and quality control is superb, also very accurate (mine is about +5 seconds/day). If you are on the fence about buying a timepiece from a “micro brand” I can tell you Oak & Oscar have surpassed all my expectations and this is, in my opinion, the best value for money, buy it!
Where to start with the entire experience. After looking at Oak&Oscar for 6 years and follow all the success of each launch, I decided to celebrate my job promotion and my birthday with a great timepiece that mean something for me. Every little detail of this watch is well placed and that make the watch balance and look great. Chase passion for watchmaking is unreal. The time that he spent with me all these years answering my questions and helping me gave me the confidance that I was not just buying a watch, I was buying a part of Oak & Oscar andcthat I was special for this brand.
I am very pleased with my new watch. I had wanted to purchase a watch I could wear everyday and looked and read about different watches for about two or three months and finally landed on the Olmsted. I have a skinny wrist (about 6 1/2”) and wanted a watch that would fit me and not look like some big round alarm clock. It fits perfectly and, with the leather band , is so comfortable I hardly notice it’s on my wrist. I also wanted a watch that was simple and yet with enough small details to give it enough character for other people to notice it and they do. The face of the watch is just how I thought it would look and I’ve had several compliments. As far as efficiency goes, it gains about two seconds a day and that’s way better than what I expected. The only complaint I have, and it’s a small one, is the luminous fades quickly on the hands when you come inside and you don’t see it at all at the numbers, but that’s not what I bought it for so for me it’s no problem. Would I recommend this product? Absolutely! It’s a really good looking watch and I am extreme pleased with it.
I love contrast....Olmstead on black sail cloth with white stitching. Standout sandwich dial, splash of orange, boatload of simplicity.
