The short answer

The closest alternative to the Oak & Oscar The Olmsted ExP-01 is the Nivada Grenchen Antarctic Spider ($945) — visually similar and Shared: GMT, Date. If price is the constraint, the Orient Classic Watch at $245 (vs $1,775 for the The Olmsted ExP-01) covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the Oak & Oscar Batch Nº2 is the standout microbrand take — looks nearly identical and Shared: GMT, Chronograph, Date. Stepping up, the RGM Watches 151-COE ($7,950) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
