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
My name is David, and I've been deeply involved with watches for many years – not just as a dealer, but primarily as a tester, photographer, and classifier.
Since 2018, I’ve been running WATCHDAVID as an independent watch project featuring reviews, videos, and real-world wearing experiences. Many of the watches you'll find here have been on my own wrist – often for extended periods.
WATCHDAVID.SHOP is intentionally personal. I only sell watches that I genuinely stand behind – no anonymous mass-produced goods, no dropshipping, no "quick trends." Experience, transparency, and honest assessment are paramount to me.
And yes: I am not an anonymous seller. I enjoy good food, sneakers, and photography – and I have a proven weakness for Kinder Chocolate.
If you have any questions or are unsure, feel free to contact me directly. I will respond personally.
Shipping & Insurance
Within Germany and the EU, shipping is free of charge. Shipping is handled by DHL and insured up to €500, €2,500 or €25,000, depending on the watch's value. The watches are therefore always sufficiently insured.
You can find the delivery time in the description and/or below the shopping cart button. Some watches are only produced after an order is placed, while others are brand new and, for example, will only be available in a few weeks (so-called PRE-SALE), etc...
Revocation & Return Shipping
You can revoke your purchase within 14 days of receiving the goods.
I will cover the return shipping costs for you.
IMPORTANT: Do not send the watch back yourself; I will send you the free return label.
To do this, please simply contact me. david@watchdavid.com
It is also important that the watch is unworn and free of any signs of wear. After a successful inspection, I will refund the purchase price to you. The refund will be made using the same payment method you used for the purchase.
Authenticity & Condition of the Watches
I guarantee that all watches I offer are exclusively new, original goods. The watches come directly from the manufacturer and have had no previous owners, unless I explicitly state otherwise (e.g., so-called PHOTO WATCHES).
As an official dealer, I exclusively offer authentic products. These are offered in their original packaging, with a warranty card, etc., just as they are delivered by the dealer. Everything in a so-called Full Set. Some deliver more, some less...
Warranty & Service
All watches purchased from me come with the international manufacturer's warranty, which is usually two years. Some brands even offer a warranty of up to 5 years.
Should a warranty claim arise, I will take care of shipping the watch to the manufacturer or the responsible service center for you and will also organize its return to you. In addition, I will handle all communication with the manufacturer, so you don't have to worry about anything.
Even after the warranty period has expired, I will remain your contact person and support you with service questions or repairs.
Mechanics - Sometimes things can go wrong
Before I ship your order, I carefully inspect each watch for visible defects.
However, should a problem arise, such as a defect during transit, please inform me immediately. I will do everything in my power to find a quick solution and ensure your satisfaction.
My goal is to offer you not only high-quality products but also a first-class shopping experience. I look forward to welcoming you as a satisfied customer!
