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).

    Solid watch. Great design. Nice people.

    I was looking for a white dial watch with a clean design and this one met all the specs. Great sizing, quality movement, durable. The dial is nicely minimalistic at a glance, but still offers interesting details the closer you look with the sandwich dial, orange accents, and angled chapter ring. Certain numbers on the date wheel are also orange and I haven't figured out why yet. It's making me think... If there is a weakness, I'd say it's the micro-adjust on the bracelet which comes loose pretty easily, but otherwise is a very nice bracelet. I love this company's design style. It is expensive, for me at least, but this design will last, and I do appreciate that this is not a mass-produced piece, but is made by a small shop of really nice people who seem to love what they do. Thanks!

    Olmsted 38

    I was of the impression that I would be able to see the time in the dark. Nothing glows in the dark.

    A wristwatch with stage presence!🎭

    My recently acquired Olmsted is a keeper! I love the casual elegance of this watch. The green dial with the sutil touch of orange and the silver stainless steel bracelet, gives it a sort of stage presence that, being an actor, I love!

    I love my Olmsted and I love that the Oscar, in Oak & Oscar, is a homage to Chase’s dog: Oscar.

    White face, no date, Olmstead

    What drove my decision was the clean functional look (for me it was better without the date), the drilled lugs, the screw down crown, I’m realizing 38mm is my preferred size, how responsive Chase is, and the great stories about Oar and Oscar, & the Team. I feel fortunate to have the Olmstead. I have a Seiko SJE093, the Olmstead and 093 compliment & contrast each other wonderfully. Thank you, Chase & Team
