Oak & Oscar Humboldt Automatic

The art of the sandwich dial

The Humboldt dial is as functional as it is striking. Built with a sandwich construction, the recessed white hour markers lead by day and glow by night. The matte-finished top layer carries a sector layout, with the central and chapter ring blending seamlessly in tone. It’s only at the second track that a subtle contrast is introduced for both depth and visual allure.

Striking the perfect balance of presence and practicality, the Humboldt boasts a 40mm case in matte-brushed stainless steel and a 12.4mm profile. The rotating bezel, also crafted from steel, is adorned with 12-hour markings in Oak & Oscar's distinctive typeface and can be used to track a second time zone or as a timer. True to the brand’s identity, a recessed custom date window occupies the 6 o’clock position.

Oak & Oscar Humboldt Automatic HIGHLIGHTS

Details that tell a story

On the Humboldt, telling the time is effortless thanks to the sharply defined hour and minute hands, generously filled with lume. But it’s Oak & Oscar’s orange seconds hand that steals the show: accented with a barrel-shaped counterbalance (a subtle reference to the “Oak” part in the brand name), it perfectly “eclipses” the brand logo at 6 o’clock as it sweeps the dial. Topping everything, a multi-layer sapphire crystal with an advanced anti-reflective coating ensures the dial stays crisp and legible from all perspectives.

Reliable power, rugged performance

At the centre of the Humboldt is the Swiss-made ETA 2892A2 automatic movement, providing reliable performance with a 42-hour power reserve. Built to live up to its reputation as a daily companion, the watch boasts 200m of water resistance. Oak & Oscar rounds out the package with strap options: a fully articulated stainless steel bracelet for versatility, or a Horween leather strap that adds timeless character.
