Ollech & Wajs OW 8001 TUNDRA COSC-Certified

Introducing the OW 8001 Tundra: A Nordic Masterpiece

In 2023, Ollech & Wajs launched its first sports watch with an integrated bracelet in fifty years, the 8001 Chronometer. Now, in 2025, the next evolution arrives: the OW 8001 Tundra. This exceptional timepiece 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 architectural studio MIR, based in Bergen. MIR is known for its groundbreaking CGI work that explores the interplay of architecture and nature. Together with Ollech & Wajs, the studio developed a bespoke 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 features an organic, green fumé dial framed by an impressive, finely crafted stainless steel bezel ring. The radial structure engraved into the brushed stainless steel creates a play of light and shadow, making the watch appear vibrant. 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 clean lines and precise craftsmanship emphasize the modern interpretation. The tonneau-shaped case measures 39.5 mm in width and 12.7 mm in height and is made of durable 316L stainless steel.

Ultimate Precision Within

However, what truly sets the OW 8001 Tundra apart from other sports watches is what lies 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 44-hour power reserve, 23 jewels, and a frequency of 28,800 semi-oscillations per hour, it meets the highest Swiss quality standards.

Each movement has been individually tested and carries a unique COSC serial number 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 longevity by Laboratoire Dubois in La Chaux-de-Fonds and awarded the Chronofiable® certificate.

Ready for Any Challenge

The OW 8001 Tundra is not only visually stunning but also a reliable companion in any environment. Thanks to its robust design and excellent water resistance up to 300 meters, it is equally suitable for everyday wear and extreme conditions. The sapphire crystal with anti-reflective coating ensures perfect readability, while the Super-LumiNova® coated hands and indices remain optimally visible even in low light conditions.

The integrated brushed stainless steel bracelet has been specially developed for comfort and stability. It features a solid, engraved clasp with a double-pusher safety and an extension option of up to 22 mm – ideal for any situation, whether at a desk or on an expedition.

Nordic Aesthetics Meet Swiss Craftsmanship

The OW 8001 Tundra combines the rugged elements of the Norwegian landscape with Swiss precision and craftsmanship. From design in Bergen to finishing in Zurich and production 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.
