OLLECH & WAJS OW M-52B AF

All about the OLLECH & WAJS OW M-52B AF

The OLECH & WAJS OW M-52B AF - When professionals place confidence in their equipment, be it a 220-ton aircraft or a mechanical wristwatch, reliability is the greatest asset. The M-52B AF, like all OW watches, is built around this basic principle.

The new watch features a robust 39mm M-type case and a PVD-coated beveled bezel modeled on the streamlined nose cone profile of the B-52.

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

Three generations of U.S. military pilots have flown the 750 aircraft built between 1952 and 1962, 70 of which remain in service today.

OLLECH & WAJS OW M-52B AF

The dial of the new OLLECH & WAJS OW M-52B AF features the unmistakable silhouette of the most iconic fighter aircraft of all time, the Boeing B-52 Stratofortress. A powerful symbol of the Cold War and, in engineering terms, a symbol of longevity and reliability. 2024 marks the 70th anniversary of the first flight of the first B-52 production model from 1954.

Intermittent cream luminous material on the bezel, dial indices and hands add warmth to the overall monochromatic design. Vintage enthusiasts will appreciate the date's red number wheel, consistent with the original B-905.

At the heart of the M-52B AF is a custom-built, Swiss-made, Soprod caliber P024, selected for its robustness, reliability and ease of maintenance. A gently curved, thickened sapphire crystal contributes to the impressive 300 m water resistance that has become a hallmark of all modern pilot watches from Ollech & Wajs.
