The short answer

The closest alternative to the Oak & Oscar The Olmsted Matte is the Sinn 6068 ($2,754) — shared caliber (Sellita SW300-1) and Shared: GMT, Date. If price is the constraint, the Glycine Men's Combat Field 40mm Automatic Watch GL0582 at $675 (vs $1,775 for the The Olmsted Matte) covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the Oak & Oscar Batch Nº2 is the standout microbrand take — visually similar and Shared: GMT, Chronograph, Date. Stepping up, the De Rijke & Co Amazon ($4,595) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
