Oak and Oscar, a Chicago-based independent watchmaker, has unveiled the Humbolt GMT, an all-new timepiece that combines the company's classic Humbolt 12-hr model with an upgraded GMT function.
The luxurious new wristwatch comes equipped with a 39.5mm case and 120-click, 24-hour bezel, which allows wearers to track up to three different time zones at once. In terms of power, the new watch houses a Sellita SW330, an automatic that boasts an impressive 56-hour power reserve. In addition, the Humbolt GMT features cutting-edge anti-shock bumper technology and an anti-magnetic enclosure.
Moreover, shoppers have the option to dress the Humbolt GMT in one of three three strap styles: bracelet, leather, or nylon. For those interested, the sleek new timepiece is now available for purchase on the Oak and Oscar website.
