All about the OLLECH & WAJS OW M-52B AF
The OLLECH & WAJS OW M-52B AF - When professionals put their trust in their equipment, be it a 220-ton aircraft or a mechanical wristwatch, reliability is paramount. The M-52B AF, like all OW watches, is built around this fundamental principle.
The new watch features a robust 39mm M-type case and a PVD-coated bezel with chamfered edges, reminiscent of the B-52's streamlined nose cone profile.
Three generations of US military pilots have flown the 750 aircraft built between 1952 and 1962, 70 of which are still in service today.
OLLECH & WAJS OW M-52B AF
The dial of the new OLLECH & WAJS OW M-52B AF bears the distinctive silhouette of the most iconic combat aircraft of all time, the Boeing B-52 Stratofortress. A strong symbol of the Cold War and, from an engineering perspective, a symbol of longevity and reliability. 2024 marks the 70th anniversary of the first flight of the first production model B-52 from 1954.
Intermittent cream-coloured luminescent material on the bezel, dial indices, and hands adds warmth to the overall monochromatic design. Vintage enthusiasts will appreciate the red date wheel, in keeping with the original B-905.
At the heart of the M-52B AF is a custom-made, Swiss-made Soprod calibre P024, selected for its robustness, reliability, and ease of maintenance. A gently domed, thickened sapphire crystal contributes to the impressive 300m water resistance, which has become a hallmark of all modern Ollech & Wajs pilot watches.
The M-52B AF is presented on a military black nylon RAF strap. A custom-made M-Heritage 20mm stainless steel mesh bracelet with a hand-brushed, engraved pin buckle can be ordered as an additional accessory for 126 CHF.
While not quite as hard to find as the vintage watch that inspired it, availability of the M-52B AF will be limited. There will only be 56 numbered editions with an engraved crown at launch. Thereafter, a limited production of unnumbered watches will be available each year.

FAQs
About David from WATCHDAVID
Behind WATCHDAVID.SHOP, I, David Drilling, stand as a true watch enthusiast, watch photographer, and independent tester. Since 2018, I have been providing honest wear reports on my channels. In my shop, I exclusively sell watches whose quality and history I have personally verified. No anonymous mass-produced goods, but personal expertise.
Shipping & No Import Charges
Shipping within Germany and the EU is completely free for you and fully insured via DHL or FedEx Express. Important for you: There are guaranteed to be no import duties, taxes or hidden fees. The exact delivery time for your model will always be transparently displayed directly above the "Buy" button.
Cancellations & Free Returns
You can easily cancel your purchase within 14 days. Unlike other retailers, I will cover the full cost of your return shipping within the EU. Simply send me a short email to david@watchdavid.com and I will send you your free DHL return label. It doesn't get any more risk-free than that.
Authenticity & Condition of the Watches
I guarantee you 100% that all watches offered are unworn, brand new original goods. In the shop, I strictly differentiate between regular new goods directly from the manufacturer and exclusive photo watches. Photo watches are models that I have used for my videos or photos, or that come from a return. I sell them absolutely honestly as used and significantly reduced – but the full manufacturer's warranty only begins on the day of your purchase!
Warranty & David's "All-Round Carefree Service"
Every watch comes with the full, international manufacturer's warranty (at least 2 years). In the event of a warranty claim, you'll have absolutely no stress: I'll handle all communication with the brand and organize insured round-trip shipping for you. Even after the warranty period expires, I remain your personal point of contact for service inquiries.
Quality Control
Mechanical watches are fascinating masterpieces. Before dispatch, each watch undergoes a thorough optical and mechanical final inspection. Should a problem ever arise despite our secure transport protection, please inform me immediately by email. I will promptly arrange for a quick, uncomplicated replacement.
