Chicago-based indie watch brand Oak & Oscar has officially turned seven years old, and to celebrate the event, it has announced the launch of a new limited-edition timepiece called the 'Humboldt Seven Year.' The standout feature of the new luxury watch is its hand-cut brass bezel, which is made of 693 Eco Brass -- a highly durable corrosion-resistant alloy that will develop a unique patina over time.
In addition, the watch features a 39.5mm case that houses a gold, hand-finished dial. This beautiful dial can be paired with a Horween leather strap or a nylon strap with bright orange stitching. In terms of power, the 'Humboldt Seven Year' features a Sellita SW300 movement that comes equipped with a bespoke rotor design and a power reserve of 42 hours.
