If you’re an aficionado of Swiss timepieces, Ollech & Wajs will definitely be a watchmaker already on your radar as they create some of the most striking and timeless watches on the market right now. All Ollech & Wajs watches are designed at the brand’s headquarters of Ollech & Wajs Precision AG on Bergstrasse, in Zurich’s financial district.
The creation of each of their high-end, luxury watches begins with an idea, which itself becomes the subject of brutal stress testing, usually involving more than 30 drawings and then dozens of detailed technical blueprints to ensure there is literally no margin for error. After a watch that will turn heads and be the crowning glory of your collection? Check out our pick of 5 of the best luxury watches from Ollech & Wajs below:
P-101 Watch
The P-101 is a tribute to the thousands of soldiers and officers who chose an OW as a survival tool. A classic aesthetic courtesy of the well-balanced proportions, its style personified. A stainless steel case, water resistant to 300 meters and featuring large lugs and an oversized crown, you’ll love how it sits on the wrist.
P-104 Watch
Crafted to help both military and commercial pilots, the P-104 Watch comes equipped with a circular slide rule to determine differential speed, distance, range and other data. Based on the layout of a cockpit’s control panels, it associates a dial with Super-LumiNova® oversized indexes and checkered hands for enhanced legibility. Its robust mechanical movement ETA 2824-2 OW3 makes the P-104 a reliable navigation tool for high-flying pilots.
C-1000 Watch
The OW C-1000 is the result of modern Swiss watchmaking. Powered by the robust modified ETA 2824-2 OW5, which is equipped with an Ollech & Wajs Zurich 1956 engraved main plate and OW machined rotor. The movement is housed in a 39.56mm, 316L stainless steel, and 1000m water-resistant case, which is stamped, machined and brushed in Jura, Switzerland.
Ocean Graph Watch
The OW Ocean Graph from Ollechs & Wajs is a tribute to their 1968 Ocean-Graph and all the dive watches that formed the highly respected ‘Precision’ line from the watchmaker. These timepieces were equipped with decompression bezels, an essential instrument for the safety of any diver venturing into deep water.
350CI Watch
The name and design of the OW 350CI refer to the Condor 350 motorcycle and its inverted controls (“commandes inversées”). The OW 350CI is the result of the watchmaker’s collab with the Atelier Zevaco, a vintage motorcycle restoration workshop based in Zürich.
