OLLECH & WAJS OW M-110 AS (M110) Military P092 Movement

The last one with the Newton Precision P092 movement! This watch will no longer be available. WARNING: Some offer this watch with the P024.

The OLLECH & WAJS OW M-110 AS is the first OW watch to contain the new Soprod Newton Precision movement. The result of a close collaboration between OW and Soprod, the new movement is a customized version of the Newton P092, modified according to OW's own specifications and adjusted in five positions.

It was finished according to our robust aesthetic guidelines, and “OW Zurich 1956” is engraved on the nickel-plated base, on which a co-designed, customized rotor in the shape of the OW logo sits. The distinctive new movement will carry the OW proprietary “Precision” designation, reserved only for movements of the highest quality.

In the absence of a magnetic compass, the US Army Ranger Handbook provides infantrymen with detailed instructions on using the watch method to obtain a bearing. This simple technique involves aligning the hour hand with the sun and then halving the distance between the hour hand and the 12 o'clock position to find south.

Another special feature of the OW M-110 that military users will recognize are the radio silence period markings on the dial. These are three-minute intervals immediately after each quarter hour, reserved exclusively for sending and receiving distress calls.

The OW M-110 also sees the return of the classic “Skin Diver” case, first used in early OW models such as the Aquaguard from 1964 and the Early Bird from 1965.

The OW M-110 M features a strong stainless steel mesh bracelet with reinforced ends and a hand-brushed finish. A great deal of care was invested in developing this new bracelet, in line with OW's historical approach. Besides its nearly indestructible and professional suitability, it is, in our opinion, the most comfortable bracelet to date. The robust milled and engraved clasp is extendable up to 22 mm, and a double-pusher release system provides additional protection against accidental opening.

The OW M-110 AS comes with a unique infantry green, double-layer fabric strap. This is made from reused, military, double-twisted hemp canvas sourced directly from unused stocks of the Swiss Army. This extremely durable material, tougher and lighter than cotton, was originally intended for various military applications such as the legendary Armée suisse Pioneer backpacks and all-weather covers for vehicles. Manufactured in the 1950s – around the same time Ollech & Wajs was founded – the fabric was designed to last 100 years in service. Therefore, it still has plenty of fighting spirit left despite its over 60-year age.

The sturdy, two-tone fabric is lined for comfort with 100% natural soft leather sourced and hand-stitched in Italy. The straight-cut edge of the strap is designed to subtly fray with daily use, giving it additional vintage character. The strap is equipped with a brushed stainless steel pin buckle, signed “OWZ 1956”. An exclusive opportunity to own and wear a watch with elements woven into history.

Wherever you are headed, whatever journey you undertake, and whatever goal you pursue, the OW M-110 helps you master every challenge.
