A Festive International Adventure
Picture a group of friends embarking on a whirlwind holiday tour, starting in New York and ending in Tokyo. As they board their first flight, they compare their Oak & Oscar Humboldt GMTs. The white dial gleams like fresh snow in Central Park, the blue dial reflects the vast ocean they’re about to cross, and the black dial hints at the long nights of winter solstice.
Landing in London, they use their GMTs to check the time back home and their next destination. The 24-hour bezel proves invaluable as they coordinate video calls with family, ensuring they don’t miss any Christmas celebrations.
In Tokyo, as they admire the city’s dazzling Christmas illuminations, their Humboldt GMTs keep them punctual for their dinner reservation, all while tracking the countdown to midnight in their hometowns.
The Humboldt GMT models reflect different aspects of their global Christmas journey:
- White Dial: Captures the brightness of snow-covered landscapes and the purity of new experiences
- Blue Dial: Evokes the vast oceans crossed and the blue winter skies
- Black Dial: Represents the long winter nights and the elegance of evening festivities
