Oak & Oscar The Olmsted FEW Edition

Owners widely praise Oak & Oscar Olmsted for its design, quality, and customer service, with one owner highlighting a personal gift from the brand. The Oak & Oscar Olmsted Matte features a stealthy black ceramic coating on its 38mm case for scratch resistance, a clean sandwich dial with orange accents, and a modified ETA 2892A2 movement regulated in Chicago. It comes with both leather and nylon straps and was initially priced at $1,475, with production limited by the coating process. Overall, owners rate the Oak & Oscar Olmsted highly for its thoughtful design and durable ceramic finish.
