OLLECH & WAJS OW M-110 AS

All about the OLLECH & WAJS OW M-110 AS

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

It has been finished to our robust aesthetic specifications and "OW Zurich 1956" is engraved into the nickel plated base upon which a co-designed, bespoke Rotor sits in the shape of the OW logo. The distinctive new movement will carry OW's own “Precision” designation, which is reserved only for movements of the highest quality.

Estimated delivery time is approximately 3-4 weeks from order date.

In the absence of a magnetic compass, the US Army Ranger Handbook provides infantrymen with detailed instructions on using the clock 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 Southto discover.

Another special feature of the OW M-110 that military users will recognize is the radio silence period markings on the dial. These are three-minute periods immediately after every quarter hour that are reserved exclusively for making and receiving emergency calls.

The OW M-110 also sees the return of the classic "Skin Diver" case, first seen on early OW models such as the Aquaguard from 1964 > and the Early Bird from 1965 was used.

The OW M-110 M features a strong stainless steel mesh strap with reinforced ends and hand-brushed finish. A great deal of care has been invested in the development of this new bracelet, in line with OW's historical approach. In addition to its almost indestructible and professional suitability, in our opinion it is the most comfortable bracelet to date. The robust milled and engraved clasp can be extended up to 22 mm, and a double pusher release system offers 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, which comes directly from unused stocks of the Swiss Army. This extremely durable material, more resistant and lighter than cotton, was originally used for various military applications such as the legendary Armée suisse Pioneer backpacks and All-weather fairingsintended for vehicles. Made in the 50s - around the same time that Ollech & Wajs was founded - the fabric was designed to last 100 years in use hold. That's why he still has a lot of fighting spirit left, despite being over 60 years old.

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

No matter where you are going, what journey you are embarking on and what goal you are pursuing, the OW M-110 will help you overcome any challenge.
