The short answer

The closest alternative to the Oak & Oscar The Humboldt ExP-02 is the Christopher Ward C60 Sapphire Edge ($1,495) — shared caliber (Sellita SW300-1) and Looks nearly identical. If price is the constraint, the Christopher Ward C60 Trident Pro 300 at $1,095 (vs $2,400 for the The Humboldt ExP-02) covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the Oak & Oscar The Olmsted 38 is the standout microbrand take — shared caliber (Sellita SW300-1) and Looks nearly identical. Stepping up, the Omega Seamaster Aqua Terra 150M Co Axial Master Chronometer ($6,700) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
