A product of modern Swiss watchmaking, the OW  C-1000 is powered by a robust, modified ETA 2824-2 OW5P, adjusted in five positions. The movement’s mainplate is engraved with ‘Ollech & Wajs Zurich 1956’ and fitted with our own machined rotor, bearing the famous OW propellor monogram. The movement is housed in a 39.56 mm, 316L stainless steel, 1,000 m water-resistant case, which is stamped, machined and brushed in Jura, Switzerland. The OW C-1000 S is also equipped with a reinforced case back, an extra-strong, domed sapphire crystal and a special quadruple gaskets screw-down crown. The watch has a stainless steel rotating bezel with a mineral insert to measure dive times, and Super-LumiNova®-covered indexes and hands for extra readability when diving to extreme depths.

The OW S-type Mark II beads-of-rice, stainless steel bracelet of the OW C-1000 S was inspired by those found on past Ollech & Wajs models of the 1960s Precision line, including the legendary Caribbean 1000. Its links are individually machined in a solid block of 316L stainless steel, before being carefully brushed, assembled and screwed by hand. This process prevents the usual stretching common among pressed steel bracelets, ensuring both longevity and comfort to the wearer. The bracelet’s double-lock deployant clasp prevents accidental opening while remaining easy to handle for divers.

The OW C-1000 comes on a choice of two straps:

In honour of the ocean and Arctic explorers who wore the Caribbean 1000, there is the ever-popular rubber Expedition strap. Made from premium-quality, toxin- free rubber it is soft to the touch and adheres perfectly to the wrist. Its insulative properties help it remain flexible at low temperatures, ensuring comfort during cold-water diving. It is also abrasion-, distortion-, heat- and oil-resistant. Embossed onto the smooth, matt-black outer surface is a centimetres and inches rule and a 1:25000 cartographic scale. On the reverse is the Morse code alphabet and a metres, yards and feet conversion table. Manufactured by an artisanal Italian rubber specialist, with 40 years’ experience in strap development; and hand-finished in Switzerland; it with two brushed stainless steel keepers and a thorn buckle, signed ‘OWZ 1956’. This strap does more than just hold your watch in place — it helps you calculate, translate and navigate.

Alternatively, a premium-quality, highly durable and water-resistant black nylon RAF style band, hand-finished with a brushed stainless steel thorn buckle, signed ‘OWZ 1956’.

Just as the OW Caribbean 1000 expeditioned to the North Pole and was worn by record-breaking skin divers and elite deep-water commercial divers, the C-1000 continues its legacy and serves a new generation of elite professionals and sportspeople.

The dial configuration and design resonate with cockpit control panels, oversized indexes and chequered hands are applied with orange Super-LumiNova® for maximum readability.

Its robust mechanical movement ETA 2824-2 OW3, adjusted in five positions, makes the P-104 a reliable navigation tool for high-flying pilots. The movement’s mainplate is engraved with ‘Ollech & Wajs Zurich 1956’ and fitted with our own machined rotor, bearing the famous OW propellor monogram.

In keeping with Ollech & Wajs’s long-held reputation for extreme water resistance, the P-104 boasts a depth rating of 300 m / 30ATM – impressive for a dive watch, let alone a pilot’s watch. The watch is assembled and adjusted in Haute-Sorne in the Swiss Jura, at the historic workshop that has served OW for over 60 years.

The P-104 S comes on the OW S-type Mark II beads-of-rice, stainless steel bracelet. This bracelet was inspired by those found on past Ollech & Wajs models of the 1960s. Its links are individually machined in a solid block of 316L stainless steel, before being carefully brushed and screwed together by hand. This process prevents the usual stretching common among pressed steel bracelets, ensuring both longevity and comfort to the wearer. The bracelet’s double-lock deployant clasp prevents accidental opening.

The P-104 is presented on a premium-quality, highly durable and water-resistant RAF regimental-style nylon band. Alternatively there is a 20 mm-wide Italian black leather and natural linen strap, lined with a soft tan underside and debossed with the OW marque. Both strap and band are hand-finished in Switzerland with a brushed stainless steel thorn buckle, signed ‘OWZ 1956’.

Today’s OW Navichron is powered by a Valjoux 7753-based two-counter chronograph. It follows a long tradition of Valjoux chronographs, with highly regarded historical references such as the V72, V92, V7730, V7733 and V7750. OW has devised its own Precision rating, reserved for movements of only the highest quality. We start with a Valjoux 7753, with a brutalist matte finish, which we then reassemble with our own machined rotor, bearing the famous OW propellor monogram. We engrave the mainplate with ‘Ollech & Wajs Zurich 1956’, before removing the hours counter. We then reassemble the watch, regulate it and test its precision in five positions as well as its duration.

The OW Navichron retains a 12-hour sliding bezel, enabling travellers to determine time across different zones. It is also a highly capable professional diving watch and, as with the inaugural 1967 Navichron, has a 20-minute diving scale on the bezel. It has a specially reinforced case; extra-thick sapphire glass; and unique four-gasket pushers, capable of withstanding over 50ATM of pressure. Its markers and hands feature Super-LumiNova®, ensuring maximum visibility in all conditions, above and below the surface.

The OW NAVICHRON S is presented on the OW S-type Mark II bracelet, inspired by those found on many Ollech & Wajs models of the 1960s. Its links are individually machined in a solid block of 316L stainless steel, before being carefully brushed, assembled and screwed by hand. This process prevents the usual stretching common among pressed steel bracelets, ensuring both longevity and comfort to the wearer. The bracelet’s double-lock deployant clasp prevents accidental opening.

The OW NAVICHRON comes on an aged, natural leather and linen vintage, racing-style strap, handmade by one of Italy’s finest tanneries. The luxury strap is completed with a brushed stainless steel thorn buckle, signed ‘OWZ 1956’.

The  P-101’s  bi-direction, 12-hour friction bezel is a throwback to one of OW’s best-known combat watches, the ref. 105. Its elongated lugs and oversized crown can be evidenced on several historic models from OW’s back catalogue. The tritium-tone Super-LumiNova® indexes – baton hands under a semi-domed sapphire glass wall – evoke a bygone era of watchmaking.

The P-101’s robust mechanical movement ETA 2824-2 OW3, adjusted in five positions, ensures it can be relied on to perform consistently in the most critical of moments. The movement’s mainplate is engraved with ‘Ollech & Wajs Zurich 1956’ and fitted with our own machined rotor, bearing the famous OW propellor monogram.

In keeping with all Ollech & Wajs Vietnam-era military and dive watches, the P-101 is extremely water-resistant, with a 300 m / 30ATM depth rating. The watch is assembled and adjusted in Haute-Sorne in the Swiss Jura, at the historic workshop that has served OW for over 60 years.

The P-101 S comes on the OW S-type Mark II beads-of-rice, stainless steel bracelet. This bracelet was inspired by those found on past Ollech & Wajs models of the 1960s. Its links are individually machined in a solid block of 316L stainless steel, before being carefully brushed and screwed together by hand. This process prevents the usual stretching common among pressed steel bracelets, ensuring both longevity and comfort to the wearer. The bracelet’s double-lock deployant clasp prevents accidental opening.

The P-101 comes on a 20 mm-wide Italian Cognac leather and natural linen strap, unpolished to give it a soft, tactile, vintage feel. Alternatively there is a 20 mm-wide Italian black leather and natural linen strap, lined with a soft tan underside and debossed with the OW marque. Both straps are hand-finished in Switzerland with a brushed stainless steel thorn buckle, signed ‘OWZ 1956’.

The P-101 pays tribute to the thousands of soldiers, sailors and airmen who placed their trust in OW watches when their survival might have depended on it. You can be confident it will not let you down when you need it most.
