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.
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).

Perfect proportions. Beautiful design. Great communication with the O & O team.
Loving the watch. Usually wear a 42mm so this is smaller than I am generally accustomed, but is a perfect size as my daily driver when I wear suits and for biz casual at work. Clean, simple, in a very positive way. Really enjoying the watch.
It runs a few minutes fast each week (not the case with an Omega Seamster Diver 300m that I own); assuming this is par for the course with this particular movement but figured I'd ask).
Hey there! We time our watches to be around +/- 2 - 10 seconds per day, so it's possible that your watch is magnetized and may need to be looked at. We're happy to help you out with that. Shoot us an email and we'll get you sorted out! Thanks!
This watch is great, no notes.
Couldn’t be happier with my new Olmsted/Grey/Date….
Oak & Oscar Olmsted. 38mm, 100-meter water resistance, automatic Swiss moment with 42-hour power reserve, dual-layer sandwich dial, and I even like the color.
Shout out to Chase and Kevin for the great service too!
I love how the matte grey dial and orange second hand give the Olmsted a sort of industrial appearance, I love the sandwich dial, and the robust specs. I also really appreciate the field watch influence, but with a contemporary flair and without a focus on warfare. The only thing keeping the watch from being perfect for me is that it's too big. I have narrow wrists and 38mm is the largest watch I wear. (I miss 20th century styles, when men's watches were 30-36mm.) On the Olmstead, it feels like the numbers need to be bigger or the overall watch smaller; as it is, legibility could be better and there's too much empty dial.
