Our friends in Chicago have remained productive over a tumultuous year, with the release of their Olmstead Matte late last year, and today, they reveal a new limited edition Jackson that is sure to raise a few eyebrows. The new Jackson LE isn?t just any chronograph, it?s a hand wound, flyback chronograph with a ?big eye? dial design. Oh, and it?s dateless. Queue the Vince McMahon reaction meme here. All this is dressed in the very American classic Oak & Oscar design language that is direct, practical, and not without a surprise or two to be discovered.

The Jackson Big Eye is built within a 40mm fully brushed steel case with a very manageable lug to lug measurement of 46.4mm. Thickness is kept in check thanks to the hand winding movement, meaning a 14mm case height, and 14.5mm including the double domed sapphire crystal. In all pretty respectable numbers for a watch with this level of complexity and at this price point. 
Oak & Oscar is using an Eterna caliber 39 for the Jackson Big Eye, which is hand wound, and brings flyback functionality to the chronograph. It uses a column wheel actuation and stacks the minute and hour recording hands atop of one another in the Big Eye sub-dial at 3 o?clock. The movement is decorated in a manner similar to that of other Oak & Oscar watches we?ve seen, meaning clean and tidy with little in the way of ornate. The 4 stars make an appearance on the striped bridge, a hallmark of the brand since the beginning.
