The Olmsted 38 takes its namesake from conservationist and founder of landscape architecture, Frederick Law Olmsted – an avid believer in the need of natural public space in society. Olmsted is responsible for designing many of the public parks in the United States; notably, Central Park in New York City, and Jackson Park in Chicago. Throughout a fascinating life, Olmsted pushed for the protection of Yosemite Valley, created the parkway, the integrated park system, and also founded the precursor to the Red Cross.

Some folks prefer the symmetry of a no date, and others prefer the convenience of having the date on their wrist. Either way, we’ve got you covered.
The Olmsted 38 is presented in an efficient, canvas watch wallet with leather accents, two gusseted suede watch pockets, and a zippered closure. Ideal for when saving space and weight are essential, our canvas watch wallet was designed right here in Chicago.

“EXACTLY WHAT I WAS LOOKING FOR: A BEAUTIFUL, FUNCTIONAL WATCH THAT DOESN’T FEEL TOO PRECIOUS TO ACTUALLY WEAR.”
