“Watches, Stories, and Gear” is a weekly roundup of some of our favorite watch content, great stories from around the web, and cool gear that we’ve got our eye on.
This week’s installment is brought to you by Oak & Oscar.
Founded in 2015 by Chase Fancher, Oak & Oscar has seen notable success in its three short years of operation. The brand’s first two watches, the Burnham and Sandford, have long sold out, and the third, the Jackson Flyback Chronograph, is well on its way to becoming another Oak & Oscar classic.
Oak & Oscar’s latest is the Humboldt, a 40-millimeter traveler’s watch and the brand’s first non-limited release. The Humboldt features Oak & Oscar’s familiar design language, and it comes equipped with a 12-hour bi-directional bezel for tracking an additional time zone. Another first for the brand, the Humboldt comes paired with a stainless steel bracelet. The watch is rated to 20 ATM, has a double domed sapphire crystal, and is powered by a Swiss-made ETA 2892-A2, a proven workhorse.
