Your new travel companion—a rugged adventure watch ready to go anywhere! Swiss-powered, anti-shock, anti-magnetic, GMT function all in a brushed stainless steel 40mm case with a bi-directional bezel and 20ATM water resistance. Built to Discover.
“IT KEEPS ACCURATE TIME EVEN AFTER SOME VERY HARD KNOCKS AND CONSTANT ABUSE WHILE MOUNTAINEERING.”
Santiago, Humboldt GMT Owner
Every watch is tested and regulated by our in-house watchmaker right here at HQ before it ships.
On every watch and accessory, shipped straight from HQ.
And when it’s time for service, it comes back to the same bench.
The Humboldt GMT takes the classic design of our Humboldt 12-hr and elevates it with a GMT complication and a 24-hour bezel, allowing you to keep track of up to three time zones at once. Add in the anti-shock and anti-magnetic technology and you’ve got a watch that’s ready for adventure. The Humboldt line is inspired by Alexander von Humboldt, an 18th century explorer who spent his life traveling the world in the pursuit of knowledge. He influenced generations of discoveries throughout the world and was credited by Charles Darwin as the “greatest scientific traveler who ever lived.”
“Some of the crispest bezel action I’ve ever experienced.”

The anti-fragile, pack your bags and go anywhere watch.
Our precision-machined, 120-click bi-directional bezel with ceramic click balls was engineered to exacting tolerances.
A quick-set adjustment allows you to independently set the 24-hour hand to easily track a second time zone. Use the external bezel and the fixed interior bezel together to keep track of three zones at once!
Harmful electromagnetic fields are everywhere and bumps are inevitable. Our new anti-shock and anti-magnetic enclosure protect the movement from everyday life.
Using a clever system incorporating both an internal Faraday cage and an internal rubber stabilizer, electromagnetic fields are neutralized and the rate of impact and rebound is reduced. You’re good to go.
Building on the design of the Sandford, the Humboldt GMT hand and lumed bezel pip are inspired by Chase's childhood love of arrowheads and stone tools.
The lollipop counter balance of the GMT hand fits inside the counter balance of the orange seconds hand perfectly as they sweep by one another. The shape is both unique and distinctive and has become an identifying design detail of Oak & Oscar.
The design of our two-layer sandwich dial creates an iconic architecture that is built for legibility. With high contrast features and the bright Super-LumiNova applied in strategic places, you’ll be sure to know the time wherever you go.
With drilled lugs for easy strap changes, 20 ATM of water resistance (200 meters, 656 feet) so you can go get wet, and high contrast between the stainless steel bezel and two-layer sandwich dial, the Humboldt’s functional versatility means you can go anywhere and do everything.
We spent nearly two years researching bracelets and are pretty confident ours is one of the best out there. 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 newly designed 16mm quick-adjust clasp. Yup, that means no tools required to adjust the fit on the fly. Ready to tackle the elements, the Oak & Oscar bracelet is built for comfort and durability.
Our nylon straps are made of a tightly-woven, rugged yet soft nylon material that is purpose made for adventure through the roughest of conditions. With custom orange stitching, the nylon strap is perfectly suited for life’s adventures and is included with every Humboldt GMT.
The Humboldt GMT is presented in a carefully designed, canvas watch wallet with leather accents, two gusseted suede watch pockets, and a zippered closure. Ideal for when saving space and weight are essential. And of course, it’s designed right here in Chicago.
Powering the Humboldt GMT is the Swiss-made Sellita SW330, a rugged and reliable movement that combines time-tested dependability and remarkable accuracy. A quick-set adjustment allows you to independently set the 24-hour hand to simultaneously track multiple time zones. With a power reserve of 56 hours, quick-set date, 25 jewels and our iconic 4-star rotor all tucked in securely behind a protective solid caseback, we’re confident this movement will live up to the demands of the Humboldt GMT Owner.
