Ollech & Wajs OW 8001 TUNDRA COSC-Certified

The introduction of the OW 8001 Tundra: A Nordic masterpiece

In 2023, Ollech & Wajs launched the 8001 Chronometer, their first sports watch with an integrated strap in fifty years. Now, in 2025, the next level follows: the OW 8001 Tundra. This extraordinary watch combines Nordic design elements with the brutal, functional style of the original 8001. The inspiration for the Tundra comes from a close collaboration with the renowned Norwegian architecture studio MIR, based in Bergen. MIR is known for its groundbreaking CGI work that explores the interplay between architecture and nature. Together with Ollech & Wajs, the studio developed a custom version of the 8001, produced exclusively for the community of MIR artists and designers.

3-year warranty

The original "MIR Watch" was an extremely limited model and generated enormous interest, prompting Ollech & Wajs to make this unique aesthetic accessible to a wider audience. The result is the new OW 8001 Tundra, named after the rugged Nordic landscape that inspired it.

A design that unites movement and nature

The OW 8001 Tundra is characterized by an organic, green fumé dial that is framed by an impressive, finely crafted stainless steel bezel. The radial structure engraved in the brushed stainless steel creates a play of light and shadow that makes the watch appear lively. This detail reflects Nordic architecture, which often incorporates natural elements such as fjords, forests, or mountains into its design.

The robust case construction remains true to the heritage of the original 8001, while the clear lines and precise craftsmanship emphasize the modern interpretation. The tonneau shape of the case measures 39.5 mm in width and 12.7 mm in height and is made of durable 316L stainless steel.

Highest precision on the inside

What truly sets the OW 8001 Tundra apart from other sports watches is what lies hidden within. The heart of the watch is a chronometer-certified version of the Soprod Newton Precision P092. This automatic movement with date display has been specially adapted for Ollech & Wajs and impresses with its exceptional precision and durability. With a power reserve of 44 hours, 23 jewels, and a frequency of 28,800 half-beats per hour, it meets the highest Swiss quality standards.

Each movement has been individually tested and bears a unique COSC serial number, which is engraved on the main plate. This engraving guarantees that the movement has passed the stringent tests of the Contrôle Officiel Suisse des Chronomètres. Additionally, the movement has been tested for durability by the Laboratoire Dubois in La Chaux-de-Fonds and awarded the Chronofiable® certificate.

Ready for any mission

The OW 8001 Tundra is not only a visual highlight but also a reliable companion in any environment. Thanks to its robust design and excellent water resistance of up to 300 meters, it is equally suitable for everyday use as well as extreme conditions. The sapphire glass with anti-reflective coating ensures perfect readability, while the hands and indices coated with Super-LumiNova® remain optimally visible even in poor lighting conditions.

The integrated bracelet made of brushed stainless steel has been specifically designed for comfort and stability. It impresses with a solid, engraved clasp with double push-button security and an extension option of up to 22 mm – ideal for any situation, whether at the desk or on expeditions.

Nordic aesthetics meets Swiss craftsmanship

The OW 8001 Tundra combines the rugged elements of the Norwegian landscape with Swiss precision and craftsmanship. From the design in Bergen to the refinement in Zurich and the manufacturing in the Swiss Jura, this watch is a global masterpiece. It reflects the perfect harmony between functionality and aesthetics while remaining true to the heritage of Ollech & Wajs – uncompromising, precise, and timeless.
