Ollech & Wajs 56 M Limited Edition Watch

The Ollech & Wajs 56 M is a watch that is both inspired by history and a piece of history itself. It combines vintage new old stock parts with contemporary parts, creating a unique and timeless timepiece. The 38mm case is upcycled from unused stock that was originally acquired by Ollech & Wajs in the late 90s. This stock was manufactured several years earlier, and its classic silhouette is a throwback to the military pilot watches of the late 1940s. Collectors of vintage OW will recognize it from historic models such as the Valjoux 7733 Flieger and the MP series.

The dial of the 56 M from Ollech & Wajs is also inspired by vintage watches, with its large Arabic numerals and sword hands. Available for 1,356 CHF, this classy timepiece is great value for money and already has plenty of watch aficionados interested. The watch is powered by a ETA 2824 automatic movement, and it has a water resistance of 50 metres. The Ollech & Wajs 56 M is a limited edition watch (just 56 being released) so move fast if you like what you see. It is a must-have for collectors of vintage watches and fans of classic design.

It is a unique timepiece that combines the best of both worlds: vintage style and modern technology. The watch boasts a classic ETA 2824 automatic movement, which has been fully serviced and reconditioned after many years in the vault. Other parts, such as the traditional plexiglass crystal and the admiralty-grey dial, have also been upcycled from Ollech & Wajs’ historic inventory.

One detail that breaks with tradition is the inclusion of the founders’ names, “Ollech & Wajs,” on the dial. This is only the second time in the company’s 67-year history that the founders’ names have appeared on a dial. Ollech & Wajs watches typically only carry the company initials, framed by the famous propellor monogram. This deviation from tradition is intended to ensure that the 56 M will be easily identified as a vintage/new stock hybrid years from now. It will not be confused with earlier OW models sharing the same parts.
