Bought mine 1 month ago and completely love it. Like a Porsche, it is my daily. Picking it up from HQ was a great experience! The team was super nice and engaging, true watch guys.
My favorite GADA watch and the bracelet is nice, but I think this watch is king on a nato strap. My white dial Humboldt is really crisp but sometimes I wonder if I should have bought the black dial. Quality watch from a quality company and great review!
Thanks for the video. Watch is nice but at that price point not sure I'd choose it over Longines, Oris, Mido, Rado and the like. For example, you can get a Zulu Time for $2,500 easily on the grey market. Baltic and Farer GMTs can be had for $1k - $1,500 brand new as far as other micro brands go.
It is a competitive price segment, to be sure, but the unique design language and the quality of the bracelet/clasp set this apart, IMO. It is also sized more appropriately for a variety of wrist sizes compared to many of the alternatives that you mention above (looking especially at Longines and their lug to lug). I do work for Oak & Oscar, so perhaps I am a little biased ; )
Lots of great choices out there and I'm sure you'll find the watch thats just right for you. For the folks that connect with our designs, our brand and all that we stand for, the Humboldt GMT is a great choice!
Nice and clean design, good bracelet, nice proportions, the only negative issue, and it's a big one, is the price. Over 2k for a Sellita330-2 GMT from a microbrand is a bit too much for me. ChrWard uses the same movement and their build quality is also on the same level but they priced their GMT for exactly 1k less! Farer is also on the same page as CW. As far as I know these products are all on the same level of quality with the same exact movement, but the companies' profit margins are not the same. Brands like Oak and Monta price their products way above other brands with the same quality product and I don't know why they're doing this, but that makes me think that these are not the brands that are here to stay, they're here to get some money and after few years they'll move on onto another business or product.
Beautifully shot, as always, Will! Thanks for spending some time with the Humboldt GMT and glad you enjoyed it.
Thanks for the fantastic review Will! Absolutely beautiful video. It's an honor to see our watch on your feed 👊🏻

Thanks so much MJ!! 🙏🏻
I absolutely love mine! Great video of this guy.
That dial cut out with the lume is pretty good looking.

What is your wrist size mate? It looks great on you. I am worrying it is a bit too big for my 6.5 inch wrist
i like that silver dial
