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

The last one with the Newton Precision P092 movement! This watch will no longer be available. ATTENTION: 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 close collaboration between OW and Soprod, the new movement is a bespoke 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, which is seated with a co-designed, bespoke rotor in the shape of the OW logo. The distinctive new movement will carry OW’s own ‘Precision’ appellation, reserved only for movements of the highest quality.

In the absence of a magnetic compass, the US Army Ranger Handbook offers detailed instructions to infantrymen on how to use the watch method to obtain a bearing. This simple technique consists of aligning the hour hand with the sun and then halving the distance between the hour hand and the 12 o’clock position to discover South.

Another special feature of the OW M-110 that military users will recognise is the radio silence period markings on the dial. These are three-minute periods 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 on early OW models such as the 1964 Aquaguard and the 1965 Early Bird.

The OW M-110 M comes on a robust stainless steel mesh bracelet, with reinforced ends and a hand-brushed finish. A great deal of care has been taken in the development of this new bracelet, in keeping with OW’s historical approach. As well as being almost indestructible and suitable for professional use, we believe it to be the most comfortable bracelet to date. The robust milled and engraved buckle is extendable up to 22 mm, and a double push-button release system offers added protection against accidental opening.

The OW M-110 AS comes on a unique infantry green, double-layered canvas strap. This is manufactured from reused, military-grade, double-twisted hemp canvas, sourced directly from unused Swiss Army stock. This extremely durable material, more resistant 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 as Ollech & Wajs was founded – the fabric was developed to last 100 years in service. Therefore, it still has plenty of fight left in it, despite its over 60 years of age.

The robust, two-tone fabric is lined for comfort with 100% natural soft leather, sourced and hand-stitched in Italy. The strap’s straight-cut edge is designed to fray subtly with daily use, lending it added vintage character. The strap is finished 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 go, what journey you embark on, and what destination you pursue, the OW M-110 will help you overcome every challenge.
